Do you need to be a staff member in order to host a gathering?

No you don't, I'm just a regular attendee and have been running gatherings for a while~ You just need to make sure to follow all the requirements/directions in making your gathering official and keep track of and update everything as needed.

Hello everyone! Updated the thread for 2017~!

What would everyone think about moving the gathering to Saturday around possibly 3pm, 4pm, or 5pm? I've found that Fridays seem to be a bit difficult for some people to attend which is why I'm considering trying for a weekend day this year. Is there any preference? If people like having it on Friday at 5pm like we've usually done, then we can continue doing that, otherwise I'll look into if Saturday is possible.

Thoughts and feedback would be very much appreciated! ♫

Bumping this thread up as the gathering is tomorrow!! Again, please check out the map to be sure how to reach the gathering. And if you haven't already posted what you plan to wear, feel free to- it's not too late!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the gathering tomorrow~!! \(^ v ^ )/

idk yet whether or not I'd be able to make it, but I wanted to say that I really like the idea of this gathering! As the host of the Vocaloid gathering, it's nice to see something Vocaloid cosplayers can go to on the weekend as before we've had people unable to attend our Friday gathering due school/work/etc on weekdays.

Also I love the idea you mentioned in your other post about pairing everyone up by color! idk if you mean to do shots in order of colors (all the reds, then all the blues, the yellows, pinks, etc, etc) or just order everyone at once in rainbow order (or both if time permits!), but color coordinated shots are fun!

(If the gathering happens to be anytime after 2pm on Sunday, I might be able to drop by in something, hmm... :o )

This gathering is right after another gathering I intend to go to, so I'll probably attempt to hurry back to my hotel and quick change into Dancing All Night Rise. Unfortunately I'll very likely show up late. If you're doing shots in order of character, would it be possible for me to request to delay the Rise shots by doing all the other P4 characters before her? (X ~ X ; )

I'm also interested in the midnight gathering since I'm missing part of the main gathering, but the last time I attended the midnight one we posed for two shots and it was declared over. I found it to be very disappointing (especially since I had gotten out of my pajamas back into cosplay!), will this year be the same? I understand it's more of a social gathering, but I'd hope for a chance to do more photos if I'm going to be attending in cosplay. :/

I'll be there as Sailor Moon~! \(> w 0 )

[Explanation:]

Another update! I've made a map of how to find the G5 gathering location which you can view here: http://tinyurl.com/z9qlusp
I hope it's easy to understand, and sorry about using MS Paint! (It's the only software available for me right now;; :-[ )

Explanation: From the main entrance area of the convention center, walk along the sidewalk in the direction of the Hilton until you reach the first turn with several short pillars lined up. Turn into there and continue walking along the rows of trees. All the way at the end and up the small staircase is the G5 location.

Alternatively, you can also reach the gathering location through the little restaurant on the first floor of the Hilton. However in recent years it seems that people haven't been allowed to pass through, in what I believe to be an attempt to keep all the con attendees from constantly walking through and disturbing the customers sitting there. Assuming the same goes for this year, please do not count on being able to take this "shortcut" to the gathering location. If possible, please pay attention to the time and give yourself enough time to walk and find the gathering. It's a shame when people miss the first group shot cuz they were just a little too late;; (> A < ;; )

If there's still any confusion on how to reach the G5 location, please feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to help explain more! :3

Super excited for this! Put me down for TRC Sakura in her Acid Tokyo dress! \(> w 0 )

Hi guys! I don't mean to double post but we're confirmed for Friday at 5pm at G5~!

I'm aware that some people had trouble finding the location last year. If you attended last year's gathering, we'll be in the same place this year. However to try and help people out in advance, I plan on making a map to explain how to get there so hopefully we won't have too many people getting lost again. If you're not sure where the G5 location is, please check back in May and I should have link in the in the top post for a map explaining how to find the area! \(' v '  )

Updated~!

Seeing as the gathering submission forms have opened today, I'll probably submit something really soon and try to get a confirmation for Friday at 5pm.

If there is a gathering this year I'd definitely like to know really soon, I've been wanting to cosplay a TRC Sakura outfit or maybe Kobato for a super long time but have never had notice early enough that a gathering was confirmed to get a cosplay ready in time.

I've never been to a CLAMP gathering before and really would like to attend one. If the person in charge of last year's gathering is looking to do it again and makes a thread about it soon I'd probably jump on plans to get a cosplay together for this year!

Hi everyone, I just updated the top post for Fanime 2016!

Right now we're thinking about having the gathering on Friday at 5:00pm like last year, but if there are any other preferences, please comment and we will definitely take them into consideration. \(' v ' )

Ah I didn't know this was still going on...
Would have come as Yowane Haku but the time isn't good for me...
=/

Aww that's too bad, we would've loved to have you :<

Taking next year's gathering into consideration, would there be a better time/day? Is it because Friday's just a bad day or is it better for the gathering to be earlier in the day? If I could get everyone's thoughts that'd be great!

Yo~ Just giving a heads up that I decided to go as Ayano~ and an excuse to bump this thread up, yay :3c

I'll probably be there as Sonia~ ( ' 3 ')/

Sweet! Ooo I believe we met before at Sac at the KagePro gathering & the DR gathering as well uvu. I was the Komaeda & Kido there!

Yeah yeah! I remember you! Hiya~

I'll probably be there as Sonia~ ( ' 3 ')/

Updated~ Looking forward to seeing everyone! If anyone else is attending, please feel free to post! I'd love to hear what everyone plans to wear~ (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Hiya! Unless something suddenly pops up, I'll be there as either Ene or Ayano~! (I can't decide which (´ ▽ ` ; ) )

Hey, just letting everyone know that we've been approved for 5pm Friday at G5! \(' ▽ ' \ )
