Adult Writing - Fan-Fiction
Saturday July 5, 2025 12:00am - 1:00am EDT
This year we're "slashing" our adult writing panels to bring you a totally new discussion on writing adult material. We'll be talking about the process and art for those times when you really want to see some canon characters in some very non-canon situations. How true to the original characters should you stay? How do you furrify (while making up your own words) properties that aren't originally furry? Will you keep it a tasteful romance or go all out? All this and more in our first panel focused on adult writing in fanfiction.

Fursuit Parade Signup - Saturday
Saturday July 5, 2025 9:00am - 12:00pm EDT
The number of participants in the parade will be limited, and as such, all participants must be pre-approved. You must either wear or bring the costume that you intend to wear in the parade, or alternatively a photo that shows all elements of the costume, to the registration point outside of Room 309 on Friday between 3 pm and 9 pm, or on Saturday from 9 am until 12 pm. We cannot register any participants after 12 pm on Saturday.

Parade Rules
  • All participants must have a costume that is “anthropomorphic” in nature. The parade is not for general cosplay. (i.e. the addition of ears to existing costume armor does not qualify for participation in the parade.)
  • Full-body fursuits are encouraged. Partial fursuits must incorporate additional elements in addition to a head, hands, and (optional) tail (these at the wearer’s discretion based upon their interpretation of the species/character). Examples include: footpaws, sleeves or leggings, or other costume features that define the character. No human skin should be showing. All clothing and costume elements must conform to the Anthrocon Standards of Conduct.
  • Handlers will be permitted to assist with the donning and preparation of a costume in the staging area; however, handlers will not be permitted to walk in the parade. Exceptions will be made for handlers who are assisting performers with mobility challenges and participants under the age of 13 who need a parent or guardian to accompany them.
  • Due to the nature of the parade lineup area, the presence of escalators on the parade route, and other aspects of the parade, Anthrocon strongly recommends that fursuiters whose costume design requires a handler (i.e. an oversized or overly bulky suit) should opt to participate in the Block Party as an alternative to the parade.
  • Even if a costume has been pre-approved, any costume that is determined not to meet these standards at parade time will not be allowed to participate.
  • Any elements that are in violation of our standards of contact (examples: tactical gear, fetish wear, etc.) are not permitted in the parade. Individuals causing disruption or interference with parade operations may be refused participation as well as face revocation of convention membership.
  • All fursuiters must hydrate before the fursuit parade. It’s for your own safety!
  • No stopping in the parade route - we require fursuiters to continue moving in the parade except in case of emergency. Staff and volunteers are positioned along the route should you require assistance.
  • No flags are allowed, as they obstruct other fursuiters in the parade.
  • People with ADA accessibility needs or young children are permitted handlers.
  • No photography or video is allowed inside the lineup area. This includes selfies whether handheld or on selfie-stick.
We understand that these changes may not be universally popular and we want our attendees to know that these decisions were not made lightly. As both the convention and parade reach unprecedented levels of attendance and participation, it has become necessary to implement these new rules to keep the parade safe for all attendees. We are confident that the Fursuit Parade and Block Party will continue to provide a unique and wonderful experience for Anthrocon attendees and Pittsburgh citizens alike.

Fursuit Parade Lineup
Saturday July 5, 2025 12:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
The number of participants in the parade will be limited, and as such, all participants must be pre-approved. You must either wear or bring the costume that you intend to wear in the parade, or alternatively a photo that shows all elements of the costume, to the registration point outside of Room 309 on Friday between 3 pm and 9 pm, or on Saturday from 9 am until 12 pm. We cannot register any participants after 12 pm on Saturday.

Parade Rules
  • All participants must have a costume that is “anthropomorphic” in nature. The parade is not for general cosplay. (i.e. the addition of ears to existing costume armor does not qualify for participation in the parade.)
  • Full-body fursuits are encouraged. Partial fursuits must incorporate additional elements in addition to a head, hands, and (optional) tail (these at the wearer’s discretion based upon their interpretation of the species/character). Examples include: footpaws, sleeves or leggings, or other costume features that define the character. No human skin should be showing. All clothing and costume elements must conform to the Anthrocon Standards of Conduct.
  • Handlers will be permitted to assist with the donning and preparation of a costume in the staging area; however, handlers will not be permitted to walk in the parade. Exceptions will be made for handlers who are assisting performers with mobility challenges and participants under the age of 13 who need a parent or guardian to accompany them.
  • Due to the nature of the parade lineup area, the presence of escalators on the parade route, and other aspects of the parade, Anthrocon strongly recommends that fursuiters whose costume design requires a handler (i.e. an oversized or overly bulky suit) should opt to participate in the Block Party as an alternative to the parade.
  • Even if a costume has been pre-approved, any costume that is determined not to meet these standards at parade time will not be allowed to participate.
  • Any elements that are in violation of our standards of contact (examples: tactical gear, fetish wear, etc.) are not permitted in the parade. Individuals causing disruption or interference with parade operations may be refused participation as well as face revocation of convention membership.
  • All fursuiters must hydrate before the fursuit parade. It’s for your own safety!
  • No stopping in the parade route - we require fursuiters to continue moving in the parade except in case of emergency. Staff and volunteers are positioned along the route should you require assistance.
  • No flags are allowed, as they obstruct other fursuiters in the parade.
  • People with ADA accessibility needs or young children are permitted handlers.
  • No photography or video is allowed inside the lineup area. This includes selfies whether handheld or on selfie-stick.
We understand that these changes may not be universally popular and we want our attendees to know that these decisions were not made lightly. As both the convention and parade reach unprecedented levels of attendance and participation, it has become necessary to implement these new rules to keep the parade safe for all attendees. We are confident that the Fursuit Parade and Block Party will continue to provide a unique and wonderful experience for Anthrocon attendees and Pittsburgh citizens alike.

Furries? In my Art Gallery? (It's more likely than you think...)
Saturday July 5, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
There is a new generation of artists in the furry community – wildly experimental, in conversation with both the fandom and the art world, and critically engaged with the queer possibilities of lives lived in-between the real and the virtual. We’ve invited these artists back to our room, for a group experience that is wholly our own. “Room Party” is an exhibition of work by over 50 contemporary furry artists, running June 6th – July 18th July at Bunker Projects in Pittsburgh. Join the curators (Lane Linecum, Brett Hanover, Paul Peng, and Cass Dickenson) and artists (panel participants TBD) for a look behind the scenes at the development of this exciting show! What does it take to put on a large-scale group art show? What happens when furries invade the fine art world? What’s next for furry art, and why does it matter now? Why is there a pile of plushies in the white cube? All your artsy-fartsy questions will be answered!

Self-Expression and Authenticity in the Furry Fandom
Saturday July 5, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
Have you ever felt like being around others is awkward because you have to 'play a role' that isn't you? Have you ever felt like some part(s) of you that are longing to be expressed, but can't safely be shown to others? Have you felt 'wrong' or 'broken' in your body, identity, or sense of self? This is a panel about finding authenticity. It will discuss ways to do this, through several lenses common in the fandom, such as gender, neurodivergence, and disability. It is hoped that this panel will spark a discussion about finding acceptance from both others and oneself, and inspire us to be better at both seeking support and providing it for others. Through this, it is hoped that we can do better as a fandom, both for all the diverse people within it and for ourselves.

Saturday July 5, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm EDT
Identities are a huge part of how we relate to ourselves and others, as well as a form of self-expression. The furry community has always been a place where people can explore different aspects of their identity, whether that’s gender, sexuality, or other facets of self. In this panel, we’ll talk about how people explore their identities through their fursona(s) and the community, and take a deeper look at the concept of identity as a whole in connecting to people and meeting our needs.

Healthy Fursuiting
Saturday July 5, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm EDT
Most of us have heard about how to care for our fursuits, but what about the person inside of the fursuit? Fursuiting can involve activities that increase our internal temperature, increase our heart rate, and put our bodies under a lot of stress. But things you can do before, during, and after fursuiting can help you to fursuit longer, recover faster, and get back out in your fluffy carpet sooner. They say that fursuiting is cardio, and like cardio we can make fursuiting easier and more fun by following precautions and preparing ourselves. Whether you're a newbie or someone who's been suiting for a while, come and learn how to better take care of what's under the colorful carpet of fur! Got your own experiences and recovery methods? Come share them!

Join us for an open discussion of the odder side of adult writing. Must be over 18, or over the legal age in country of citizenship. IDs and badges will be checked at the door.
