Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / 2015 Fallout Gathering

March 18, 2015, 06:08:39 PM

I am making happen this year! I want all you Wastelanders, Vault dwellers, Raiders, Legionaries, NCR, Brotherhood, Super Mutant, Fiend junkies to grab your gear, your stash, your food, weapons, money, and don't forget your "Wasteland Survival Guide" and bring it on down to the 2015 Fallout Gathering!

If you cosplay from Fallout 1-3, New Vegas, any of the Brotherhood games or anything Fallout related please come. (Blue Star Sarsaparilla bottle cap required *LOL just kidding :P so Bethesda has set up a media announcement in June and I have my fingers and toes (have a couple extra radiation growths I could cross too *LOL) that they are going forward with Fallout 4! Could be Elder Scrolls VI too and I wouldn't be that unhappy, but I WANT MORE FALLOUT! How about you? Well then if you said yes let's make this gathering AWESOME!

Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / The HOW & WHAT to be a gathering/event Organizer ~3/18

March 18, 2015, 10:03:01 AM

Hello cosplayers! The process for hosting a gathering/event has been refined for Fanime 2015. Here is a breakdown of the steps:

WHERE TO START
So the process to host a gathering/event may seem overwhelming, but it really isn't. Following the process step by step will help, however if you want it to be really successful it requires a commitment to those who will attend and to getting things done. The more you get to know those planning to attend, listen to their ideas and suggestions, ask for help, and have a structured plan the better it will be. Don't be afraid to ask other organizers for their ideas and suggestions because they have a wealth of knowledge they would love to share too.

We all procrastinate to a degree, however this can lead to problems for Gatherings Department Staff, the attendees, and YOU. Once the dates are set and the Official Gathering List opens things roll pretty smoothly till about three weeks before con when EVERYTHING in life seems, "Do Me NOW!" which leaves you feeling crazy! Well, if you follow the steps provided and stick to the dates, everything you need to host a gathering should run smoothly. So let's start.

The first steps:

#1. Check the URL thread to see if your gathering idea has already started or if it falls into a larger gathering that already has started. The URL List Thread is located here: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,19892.0.html

#2. Start a thread for your gathering/event. Setup your first post with the information located here:
http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,19895.msg483024.html#msg483024
If you utilize other websites/apps where you are talking to people about your gathering/event, put those URLs on your first post of your Fanime forum thread.

#3. Post your new gathering/event thread URL on the Gatherings URL List thread: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,19892.0.html[/color]

Some general thread rules and suggestions are:
Don't post tons of pictures on your thread, instead add the URL where the picture can be located.
Don't make it cluttered or hard to read:
instead put up a "banner" type, "logo" type, or custom art type picture and then add the rest of the information on the first post.
Do keep it simple: Over using forum features can make the information become lost. Hit the preview button and scroll quickly down your first post to see if the key important points are easy to spot.
Do use consecutive posts: Saving the first 2 - 5 posts so you can add or edit information is a really good thing to do, however if you are going to save these posts PLEASE make sure to put a "Post Key" at the very TOP of the first post so people can find out where the different groups of information are located. A good example is located here: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,19895.0.html

WHAT'S NEXT
Be active on your thread, update your first post as new people are interested, find an assistant or two to help you, and get ideas from others on how to make your gathering fun. Your first post is the easy way for everyone to learn about your gathering/event, so make sure all the info the attendees need is found there.

HOW TO APPEAR ON THE OFFICIAL GATHERING LIST AND GATHERINGS BOARDS AT FANIME
#1. Wait to submit your SR (Submission Request), until the Official Gatherings List opens. This information is located on the first post located here: http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,19895.0.html
#2. Look to see which group your gathering is under to know your SR date.
These groups are:

Group #1: Returning Mega Gatherings (150+ cosplayers attended the previous year) and Staff Run gatherings.
Group #2: Returning Large Gatherings (60–150 cosplayers attended the previous year), potential Large Gatherings (current gathering with 55+ confirmed cosplayers planning to attend).
Group #3: All other gatherings.

#3 Submission Requests:

SUBJECT LINE
Put your "Gathering/Cosplayer Event" name in the subject line of your email.
If you are organizing more than one, the SUBJECT line should read: MULTI Gathering

BODY
Copy the following information into the body of your email and then customize it for your gathering needs. If you are a Large or Mega Gathering, you may submit any other gatherings you are organizing on one SR. (One SR = all your gatherings. List each gathering/event you are organizing separated by the name.)

List your information in the following order:

Gathering or Event Name:
ALL URL's for the gathering/event:
Your Fanime forum name and/or badge name:
All assistant(s) forum name(s) and/or badge name(s):

DAY: (*Please list preferred day 1st)
1st:
2nd:
3rd:

TIME: (*Please list preferred 1-2 hour window 1st)
For Example:
1st: 10:30am - 12pm
2nd: 2:30 - 3pm
3rd: 12:30 - 1pm

1st:
2nd:
3rd:

LOCATION:
1: INSIDE
2: OUTSIDE
3: OFF SITE
4: Other

Any other information I should know:

If there is a Cosplayer Event included with your Gathering, please list each event:

Cosplayer Event Name:
Organizer's forum/badge name:
Any URL's:
Event Day & Event Time:
Is there a place where everyone is meeting first and at what time?
Event Location:
Who may join the event?

Make sure your SR information is complete and then send it to gatherings@fanime.com. Upon receipt of the email your request will be processed. Any missing information will delay the process of getting your gathering listed. Once you have submitted your request, look for and respond to any email replies, posts in your thread, or PMs ("Private Messages") in your Fanime message box from Gatherings Department Heads/Seconds ASAP so questions can get resolved quickly.
Your gathering(s) and/or event(s) will be listed on the Official Gatherings List located on the first post here:

Check the Official Gatherings List several times before Con to make sure the information is correct and has not changed.
Now for the last step before Con: the Confirmation step.

CONFIRMATION
Unfortunate things happen, from missing organizers to day/time/location changes for many different reasons. This last step is to make sure all the information we have is correct and your projected number of attending cosplayers matches your location choice. Confirmation is done about three weeks prior to Con, when everyone is finalizing their plans for the weekend, to make things easier for you, your attendees, and our staff. Here is what you do:

#1. Check your numbers of possible attending and update the first post on your thread.
#2. Finalize your Photography Order and that you have enough people assisting you to run your gathering(s)/event(s) smoothly.
#3. Your Confirmation is posted in the Official Gatherings List thread located here:
#4. Copy the following information into the body of your post and alter it for your gathering(s) or event(s).

CONFIRMATION Posting Form:

Your gathering/event name:
Is your gathering/event information correct on the Official Gatherings List? (yes/no)
Your changes to gathering/event info:
Your possible attendee count:
Your gathering/event photography order:

AT FANIME
Once everything pre-Con is done, you only have three simple things to do AT FanimeCon.
#1. Make sure your support staff for your gathering/event is still available.
#2. For Organizers ONLY, check-in at the Gatherings Table located on the 1st floor of the Convention Center ½ hour BEFORE your gathering.
#3. Take a deep breath and go have fun with everyone at your gathering/event. You have worked hard to get here so make it fun for you and everyone else.
If you need help, don't be afraid to ask the Gatherings Table staff for help. We will always be happy to assist you.

So here is a quick URL recap on the important info locations:

Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / 2015 Cosplay Hangout ~ 3/17~

March 17, 2015, 11:39:20 AM

PRESS FREE ZONE! Repair Station is supplied by YOUR donations!
The Cosplay Hangout is where cosplayers can REST, REFRESH, and REPAIR their cosplays. Cosplay attire is not required but a valid FanimeCon badge is! Please be respectful of each others needs while in the Cosplayer Hangout. PARENTS... Feel free to come in and pull up a seat to take a break from all the activity.
_{*This is a photography free zone! Sorry, NO pictures or electronic recordings are allowed to be taken in the area without prior approval from Cosplayer Gatherings Department Head*}

Days and Hours Open:
_{*Hours are subject to change at any time*}

Thursday: TBA
Friday: 10 am - 10 pm
Saturday: 10 am - 10 pm
Sunday: 10 am - 10 pm
Monday: CLOSED

All that you see is DONATED by cosplayers just like you! We offer a variety of stuff at your disposal should you need it, because cosplayers just like you bought it and brought it! So if you have used this service in the past we would love it if you gave back. Our supplies from last year are low and can use an infusion. Just bring it with you to Fanime and drop it off in the Cosplay Hangout. We are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 10 am to 10 pm.

For REST we offer tables and chairs where you can sit and relax, talk with friends, or just get away from photographers for a little while. The Hangout is a "Press Free Zone" so we ask the press and media not to come in and ask to take pictures or video of the cosplayers. We also ask those who come in the Hangout to please respect each other and not ask for photos either.

For REFRESH we offer a water station, a make-up touch-up station, and a wig touch-up station. Let's just say it's a place to get yourself back into character so you can go back out in full cosplay style!

For REPAIR we offer a variety of tools to fix those last minute mishaps that happen to cosplay costumes and props. From needles, thread, and safety pins to screwdrivers, wrenches, and hot glue guns. For quick Prop touch ups there are different colored Sharpies, varieties and colors of tape, rubber cement and types of glue. The supplies available differ each year.

The one thing we DON'T offer is access to a sewing machine. (*insert gasp*) "Why not?," you might be asking and it is simple. We figured that by the time a cosplayer gets to Fanime they have spent a whole lot of time and money to enjoy the weekend with fellow cosplay friends and sitting in front of a sewing machine finishing a cosplay is at to great a cost. You miss out on time with others, events, programming, shopping and all the wonderful memories and photos that could have been. Let's face it, it needs to be done before you come. So we offer needles, basic thread colors and a hand-held sew machine to fix a hem or seam, but not a full size sewing machine.

_{See the next post for the current Repair Station & Donation List.}

Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / 2015 Cosplay "HELP Me..." thread

April 14, 2013, 06:56:56 PM

~ So you want to cosplay and you aren't sure who or which character?
~ Maybe your stuck on how to sew a part of your cosplay?
~ Your no good at props/wigs/costume so where can you buy it?
~ How about what kind of pattern could help you create that piece?
~ Of course there are always the:
"Where/What kind of makeup?"
"Looking for this or that wig?"
"Where can I get it?"
"Contact lenses and what do you think?"

These questions and thousands of others are always being asked. Well here is the perfect one stop shop thread for you to post those questions and where other cospeeps can offer their help to solve those many cosplaying dilemmas that go into each project we choose. Sometimes it is just choosing that stops us from cosplaying and those questions are ok too! :)

Post your questions here and include links to photos of the subject if possible.

Much love to all cospeeps!

Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / 2015 Edition of the "Looking for..." thread

April 11, 2013, 12:24:47 PM

Welcome to the FanimeCon 2015 Looking For/Who's going and Who as... Thread!
Please do NOT post pictures... post LINKS to the pictures.

So every year there are cosplayers that want to join a gathering, but they are unsure if there will be enough people interested in doing a gathering. That's what this thread is for :)

Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / Gathering location changes for Fanime Con 2013 1st and my last post

February 17, 2013, 02:15:25 AM

Our new gatherings location map can be found here:
http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/BSaphire/media/GCDLocationsMapFinal.jpg.html

Hello cospeeps!
So last weekend I was able to walk aroung the convention center and there are some changes that have happened. Changes to the convention center will effect locations for all gatherings. I have started this thread to help discuss some of the changes that are happening with my department so feel free to post here.

1. The large hole that was out front now has the building structure up. The building will not be in use this year, but the construction is ongoing and has taken up more of the front area. The passenger loading area is not accessible either.

2. Where Registration was located in the past has been remodeled. This area is now a cosplayer gathering area. We are considering relocating the riser stage to the back part of this area since it will get more light.

3. The lobby area has 2 tiered platforms, one on each side of the stairs, which will provide for more people to be tiered in gathering photos.

4. There are now entry/exit doors located inside on both wings on the 1st floor of the convention center.

I can not say for sure where registration will be located at this time. For those who are new and don't know, Registration is where members would go to pick up their badges. We have more room now on the 1st Floor, however we have less room out in front.

We are still working on the gatherings location key since our gathering info boards will also be changing. These are some of the reasons why I have not opened up the gatherings list yet. All 60+ returning gatherings are recommended to use the large slab outside of the Cosplayer Hangout (Where we had them last year) except for one or two that I know will be off site due to super large #'s of attending.

So, post your questions here and I will try to answer them the best I can.
Peace & Love

Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / Cosplayer Hangout 2012 ~ 1st & last post ~ 8/8/2011

January 18, 2011, 08:06:51 AM

Many things happen during con and sometimes it would be nice to have a space where you could sit with other cosplayers and quietly talk, catch a few moments of sanity, a sure fire place to meet your friends that are coming in, or maybe sit and read some of the manga you got the night before at the swap meet. Would it be nice to have a space just for cosplayers to "hang out" during the day?

Well my staff and I have thought of just that and so much more! If there was a "Cosplayer Hangout" place where what I described above could be found, would you use it? What would you like to see in there? What could be put in there that isn't already available for the cosplayers at Fanime Con?

This would be a room, with a table & chair set up that would accommodate gatherings/events like Texas Hold 'Em, Ouran High School Host Club, maybe even a Hetalia Axis Powers board room where unique photos could be taken with out the disruptions of other attendees, people who smoke, over excite attendees, trash strewn areas, loud and obnoxious protesters and other crazy mayhem that can get on our cosplaying nerves.

The question is would the cosplayers want this Hangout place and what kind of things would you like to see in it? I'm not making promises that any or all of it could be done this year, but know that Cosplayer Gatherings has acquired permission to run a "Cosplayer Hangout" place and I would like to make it a little piece of paradise for a few moments in our crazy cosplaying days at con.

Help make this place our Cosplayer Hangout! Your feed back is really important here so please speak up!

Cosplay! Construction, Tips, Gatherings, Advice / 2011 Looking for Cosplayers? Who's Going? & Who As? Thread

August 02, 2010, 08:23:00 AM

All cosplayer gatherings & cosplayer events that wish to be on the Gathering Info Boards @ Fanime Con 2011 MUST have a Fanime forum thread. All information to/from the organizers to/from me will be passed through their Fanime threads or by PM on the Fanime forums.

The Cosplayer Gatherings & Events List along with the Cosplayer Gatherings and Events Thread URL list will ONLY be on the Fanime Con forums in this section. They will not be found on Cosplay.com like it has in years past due to the problems with updating the posts and size limitations.

So every year there are cosplayers that want to join a gathering, but they are unsure if there will be enough people interested in doing a gathering. That's what this thread is for :)

If you are looking for other cosplayers from a particular title or genre post that info here on this thread.

If your looking for people to join in your FanimeCon skit then those question are perfect to post in here too, but make sure to come back and check.

Maybe you want to let people know who you will be cosplaying @ FanimeCon in 2011. That's also what this thread is for :) So post that info here on this thread.
