Respect personal space, my darlings—always ask before twirling or twostep-ing too close!
Be courteous, kind, and positively dazzling to fellow dancers.
Moshpit Manners:
Look out for one another—friendship is magic, even in a moshpit!

Festival of Friendship 2025 @mlpfofcon.bsky.social · Mar 19

ALL TEAMS WILL BE CHOSEN AT RANDOM ON THE DAY
we cannot guarantee that your team will be chosen as it depends on sign-up numbers.

ANY OFFENSIVE TEAM NAMES WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE REMOVED - PLEASE CHOOSE SOMETHING APPROPRIATE FOR A GENERAL AUDIENCE

Festival of Friendship 2025 @mlpfofcon.bsky.social · Mar 19

Each team requires FOUR players - we do not need to know player names, just your team "Captain" (ie: the person filling in this form) and your Team Name! You could even just sign up and recruit some friends on the day!

Darlings, another fabulously important reminder from yours truly!

Generosity, Not Pestering!
And as much as we all adore complimentary surprises, let us be courteous and refrain from asking our talented vendors for free art. After all, supporting the artists who bring magic to life is truly generous—and generosity, as you know, never goes out of style!

Festival of Friendship 2025 @mlpfofcon.bsky.social · Mar 17

Patience, Sweethearts!
Remember, each artist is pouring their creativity and love into every commission. Please do be courteous, patient, and supportive! A masterpiece cannot be rushed—fabulousness takes time!

Bring Bits—erm, Cash!
Although many vendors will graciously accept card payments, you simply cannot depend on these unpredictable little card-reading contraptions. Better to come prepared, darling; our vendors are especially delighted when presented with small notes - and exact change.
