I made an account in order to find out whether or not there would be a DMMD gathering during this year's Fanime; I came across this thread (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,20361.msg487515.html#msg487515) and learned that at one time a gathering had been in progress, but was now at a standstill due to the OP no longer being able to act as host. I would love to take over the organization and hosting of a DMMD Gathering for Fanime 2016 and have taken it upon myself to create a fresh thread in order to more accurately maintain details and respond to anyone interested.
Below is the form info for the new gathering.

Legal Statement- Fanime will be taking group pictures during the Gathering/Event this year. If you do not want to be included in those pictures please step aside for those photos. By remaining with the group when the pictures are being taken you give your consent to be photographed.
Photo Order: Grouped solo shots will come first (AKA all Aobas will pose for a photo, followed by all Kojakus) and then pairing shots between the main couples (Aoba/Koujaku) and any family or team-oriented pairing (Seragaki Family, Virus/Trip, Kio/Mio/Nao). From there requests will be taken and more dynamic photos between characters will be taken.

Ahhh yes, by all means go on ahead! ^^ I'm not doing DMMD cosplay afterall, so I stepped down as host. xDD But yes, thank you for picking it up!! :3
Yeah, I saw that you weren't interested in going through with it so I figured it'd be better to take care of things myself. :) Feel free to redirect anyone who had been interested in attending to the new post and info.
