I guess I should have worded it a bit better; of course there are beautiful people in every form of hobby/lifestyle it was the way the characters carried themselves in the story that I didn't like. The characters didn't seem "liquid" enough, they were too extreme in the character they were. The jocks were super duper jocks and the main character was uber nerd. They just don't seem human enough to me. If you want examples of cosplay hierarchy/drama check out certain coscom threads and /cgl/ more drama than TNT going on there. As I said I've only read the first piece of the story so that might have changed as the story went on; I do have to say Kudos to you for writing a piece I've always thought about it but never had the gall to do so.
