About FFist Council
FFist Council is a loose confederacy of clubs that work together to promote fisting around the world. At this time member clubs hail from the USA and Canada; however, the council welcomes clubs from anywhere around the world. There is no official organization or leadership for the FFist Council; however, if you are interested in affiliating your club with the council, please reach out to the Finn Vortex (finn@depthvortex.com for additional assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does my club join the FFist Council?
To participate in the council, you must use either X (Twitter) or Telegram as all business is conducted informally on either of those apps.
On X, message @depthvortex (F2) or @sofftpaw (The Steel City Fist Club) to be added to the group. On Telegram, message @marshall_identities (F2) or @sofftpaw (The Steel City Fist Club).
Is the FFist Council limited to North America?
Originally, the National FFist Council started in the USA. Within a few months, it began adding clubs in Canada and dropped National from its name to be more inclusive. The council is not opposed to adding member clubs from around the world.
Is there a leader of the FFist Council?
There is no formal charter and no designated leader of the council; however, @sofftpaw has been instrumental in maintaining the group and recruiting new clubs. He is usually the invidual that will add you to the Telegram and X groups. Finn Vortex (@depthvortex) maintains the F2 Facebook group and the Fist Theory website. He tries to promote your club and publish information regarding your club for fisters to locate and apply for individual club membership.
Can FFist Council offer assistance in setting up a club in my local area?
The membership clubs will mentor you on how to organize and promote your club and its events. They have a graphic designer that is available for hire to help you develop and create a professional logo. Finn Vortex has a suite of documents that can help you officially structure your club.
Are there any FFist Council governing requirements regarding a club's structure?
There are no strict requirements for joining the council; however, we would hope that when you approach the council, you have a general idea for your club and a desire to organize your club within the next few months. If you begin organizing a club and cannot continue it's development, we may remove your club name from the registry so that other fisters in your area feel free to start a club that meets regularly. Even though your club may no longer be listed, you can still participate in the council as long as you are respectful to other council members.
Our member clubs include very small, invite-only, intimate groups with specific membership requirements to large groups that conduct little to no screening and are open to the general public.
Some clubs offer monthly play parties, others offer quarterly parties, and some provide parties for special events or holidays only. Many clubs have restrictions on harder drugs, but this is not a requirement to be a member club in the council.
