'''Fur Isle''' is a proposed [[convention]] that is planned to be held on the [[Wikipedia:Isle of Wight|Isle of Wight]], England, on October 31st - November 3rd 2014.<ref name="site">http://www.furislecon.co.uk/ Retrieved December 2, 2013.</ref><br />
<br />
The theme of the convention is "Halloween", as this fits in with the date of the event itself. There are plans to decorate the entire hotel like a haunted house.<ref>[http://www.furislecon.co.uk/theme Theme] on furislecon.co.uk. Retrieved December 2, 2013.</ref> Three venues of varying sizes were being considered to host the event over December and January, dependent on the level of interest the convention gained over that time.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/FurIsleCon/posts/621514781239906 Facebook updates] Posted November 30th, retrieved December 2nd (Log-in required)</ref> The website went live on December 2, 2013.<ref name="site"/> The website was still in need of further development, with pages reading 'currently under construction'. Most notably with no information on events, guests of honour, or a charity. The website was taken down for maintenance soon after, and remained down for re-designing, including arrangements to hire trained developers. <ref>[http://forum.ukfur.org/topic/44745-furry-convention-seeks-web-developer/ Furry Convention Seeks Web Developer] Posted December 8, 2013.

== Early development ==<br />
<br />
[[Kitutal]], the chair of the convention, has been maintaining a blog of development, where he dates his involvement to late 2012. On July 24, 2013 he posted "Hopefully soon I'll be able to post here that I have a final shortlist of places of reasonable size and price to choose from."<ref>[http://furisle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/narrowing-list-down-slowly.html Narrowing the list down... slowly] Posted July 24, 2013. Retrieved August 15, 2013.</ref> In early October Kitutal posted "Been spending the day checking prices at the shortlisted venues".<ref>[http://furisle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/prices.html Prices] Posted October 5, 2013. Retrieved October 10, 2013.</ref> As of early December, updates are also posted to the convention's twitter and facebook accounts, and also the ukfur forum thread. By then, with the organisation of the convention settled on a small dedicated team, the venue had been determined, a theme chosen and elaborated on, a first year charity picked out, and a cute mascot designed.<ref>[http://forum.ukfur.org/topic/44698-fur-isle-con-october-2014 Official Forum Thread]</ref><ref>[http://furisle.blogspot.co.uk/ Blog Posts]</ref><ref>[https://www.facebook.com/FurIsleCon Facebook Page Updates]</ref><br />

<br />

During the early part of 2014, the FurIsle Con [[Fur Affinity]] page began leaving shouts on many UK users' pages, urging them to attend. This produced vastly negative reactions.{{cn}}<br />
