A-kon fired me :Here's some of the story. It's long, lots of emails.

There is the start of it. Matt never apologized or felt like he had to. I did send an email saying "I quit" but that was under the stress of nobody taking my side. Elin did email saying that she needed me, and I pulled my resignation. Well, apparently that is not good enough.
This is not a business relationship, this was a friendship, or so I thought.
A-kon is not a fan friendly con anymore. They are only out for the money.
The man, who I love dearly - Chris Simonds, who was responsible for bringing Versailles and other popular acts (that A-kon was willing to shell out the cash for) was also fired.
So, here it is folks. It's a lot and it's all junk. Cross-post as you feel you should.
If you disagree with me and hate the way cosplay ran this year, step up to the plate and volunteer. If you agree with me and found what I did to be a good job and also looking out for the fans, don't patronize them anymore. There are a million cons out there, including AnimeFest which has always been fan friendly.
If you wish to contact me, because my journal is friends only in comments - email me at spoiledjediprincessamy@gmail.com
There is a lot more to the story if you want to hear it. As well as me fighting to make sure that the cosplayers get the respect they deserve.
Pablo has also resigned.
Anyway, I am starting chemo treatment today (yeah, the classy assholes decided to tell me today.) for Lupus with kidney involvement stage 3. Wish me luck!
To my friends and staffers, you guys are awesome and some of the best talent there is out there. Thank you so much for the great job you did this past year.
