Placeholder as the gathering submission is being made, more details to come.

UPDATE (3-26-19):
As for the "Unofficial" tag in the title, that was a goof-up on my part. Basically, was discussing with people on Facebook that noticed that there was no Marvel gathering submitted yet. After some discussion earlier in the day, we did agree that we should try to get one submitted. As I submitted mine after getting home from work, I noticed that the person that I was speaking with sent the submission first.

Due to this, I am considering to have this as a bit of an "unofficial" gathering for those that might not be able to attend the official gathering (we both submitted for different days). Even with this, both the first organizer and myself did reach out to help each other out in terms of the gatherings.

Now we all wait in a bit of a limbo to see what happens with the gathering department in this situation.

[DC Comics Cosplay Gathering 2019]

We're back for 2019!

Time for the usual spiel with each new year...

2018 looked to have gone pretty well even after a bit of miscommunication that happened due to some confusion on the location (that I'll take responsibility for in terms of unexpecting how things would turn out). Even with that, still glad with how positive things turned out and the turn out. Note list with the shooting order ended up working and I'll roll with it again.

With that there are a few other things to announce:

1) This ended up being one of those rotation year moments happening as this will be one of those years where I'm not doing a DC costume this year. However, I'll still be around to help run things.

2) Another Change of location, this time tying to go with a bit of an easier to locate spot and to go with the expected manageable numbers for 2019

3) Time I'm going to be a bit flexible, but at the moment the three options applied for were:
Saturday 11AM
Saturday 1PM
Saturday 3PM

The reason for the flexibility is that it depends on when the Marvel gathering is taking place (dressing up for that one). So day and/or time may change depending on how things fall.

With all of that out of the way.....

UPDATE (4/5/19) - Updated gathering info

[DC Cosplay Gathering 2018]

Greetings everybody, thought I would get a bit of an early jump of getting the gathering topic up.

2017 ended up a bit of unexpected outcomes. On my end, I had no clue that doing the makeup for Harley would take longer than expected which resulted in a missed opportunity. Outside of that and a few minor things, the other unexpected outcomes were on the positive with how the gathering went. Working off a written list/notepad+pen did make going through the order much better than in previous years. No clue yet if the "rotating system" returns in 2018 (internally feeling awful that I could not help out due to costume prep), but I do hope it can make a return. Additionally, I've been taking some considerations on a few major changes for 2018, those being...

Change of location (from "The Fallout Zone" to "Off-Site"): This came about when I was taking photos of a gathering on Friday over at the park area stairs near the San Jose Museum of Art and the Fairmont. Looking at the area, it would appear to be a nice backdrop for a gathering like this and with how the stairs are arranged, it would look to be large enough for a group our size.

Change of time (to an earlier time?): This was the other change that I started to think about. The time ranges for the gathering throughout the years have fluctuated through an afternoon range (as early as I believe 2pm to as late as I believe 4-5pm). For 2018, I'm wondering if aiming for an earlier time would be a better option? Earliest time I may consider for this could be 11am but the time could still remain around 2pm, so we will have to see what some think of this idea.

With the new year coming soon, you all know what comes with it.....

UPDATE (3/13/18) - Gathering info updated

Hey everyone, think of this as a bit of a placeholder description until we come closer to the start of official gathering submission period.

Part of me is semi-struggling with the thought of running DC and Marvel again, when I would rather just run one ala the "rotating system" that I did want to implement starting last year where myself and one other person can alternate the running of the DC and Marvel gatherings each year to make things a little less hectic. However, due to not being able to find a person that could run DC last year (I was running Marvel), I had to step in to run both. Although things ran surprisingly well, I did still want to try running the "rotating system" for 2017.

That is unless people would want me to run both again.

ANYWHO, new year means.....

Recently, seeing the panels that have been revealed and some appear to be things that qualify more as Fan Events (specifically the Q&As where people are cosplaying as characters from a series). It does bring up a valid question, what really qualifies as a panel and what really qualifies as a fan event?

[DC Cosplay Gathering 2016]

Greetings all. Some of you remember last year that myself and ICosplayNeji went with the idea of running separate gatherings for both Marvel and DC. Both the separate gatherings went rather well and seems like a good idea to do the idea again. Unfortunately, due to other gathering commitments, Neji is unable to run the DC gathering this year. No worries though, I have decided to pull double duty with running the DC gathering along with the Marvel gathering. Most likely it will be the same setup as last year (DC first, Marvel right after), so I'm hoping that 2016's edition will end up just as fun as last years.

UPDATE (3/22/15) - Updated gathering info

[IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THOSE WHO REGULARLY ATTEND THE DC/MARVEL GATHERING:]

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THOSE WHO REGULARLY ATTEND THE DC/MARVEL GATHERING: As discussed in the old Marvel/DC Gathering topic, with how much the gathering has grown the past few years, ICosplayNeji and I have decided to go with an alternative. Starting at Fanime 2015, the gathering will be split in two with Neji running the gathering on the DC side (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,19678.0.html) and myself running the gathering on the Marvel side. Hopefully this new setup will appease all parties involved and make things less stressful. Much thanks to everyone that has stuck with us through the tough moments, Neji and I appreciate all of the work and commitment that has been made to make these gatherings fun and enjoyable.

UPDATE (3/22/16) - Updated gathering info

Hello,

I had a bit of a question regarding the badge name /fan name for badges. Was thinking of using a particular fan name but I was not sure if it would be acceptable to use based on the rules. The fan name I was thinking of using was "Booty Bombshell" but I wanted to ask if that fan name would be okay to use? If the name is not acceptable, I have a backup name that is acceptable (the backup is something I've used before at past Fanimes as my main fan name, but for this year I was thinking of a new fan name). If anyone knows or can check to see if the name is okay, let me know.

Thanks ^^

Despite the difficulties that arose with the unexpected large turnout, 2013's Marvel/DC Gathering managed to turn out pretty well and might be setting up for a big showing for 2014. I'm proud to announce that the gathering will be back for 2014, so for those of you that are a little new to this, any incarnation of Marvel or DC character, be it based on their appearance from the comics/video games/TV shows/movies are all welcome here. Hope to see all those from 2013 return and welcome all newcomers for 2014.

Taking some things from 2013 into perspective, with how much the gathering has grown since the inception back in 2011, there is a need for a kind volunteer or two to help assist me with running the gathering. Also, there is some consideration of moving the gathering time (maybe 2pm? maybe earlier?) and location change as well (don't know the new specs/layout of the convention center redesign yet, so a tentative choice might be the park area that the Homestuck gathering used due to size).

INITIAL UPDATE (7/15/13): Recycling the topic for the 2014 gathering.  Cleared the information to present a clean slate sort to speak and should be good to go to get things rolling for next year's gathering. Added a little more info to give a bit of an idea of what new things for 2014 (gathering assistants, new location, maybe new time?)

UPDATE (5/10/14):Updating list

[CAPCOM]

Place holder for a possible Capcom vs SNK 2011 2nd Gathering next year, recycling last year's topic so creating a new one won't be necessary

Day: TBA
Time: TBA
MP: TBA

CAPCOM

SNK

UPDATE NOTE:
Bit of a recycle job here, not topic necromancy. Bit of a slight placeholder since I'm in an unknown state since this gathering kind of depends on the details of the Capcom/SNK gathering that Shinsengumi is running.

[Preliminary Information]

Hey all,

Since I haven't seen a topic for it yet, will there be a Full Metal Alchemist gathering for Fanime 2009?

If there will be one, think we can start setting it up with a list of who's going along with a location/day/time so we don't get stuck with some obscure time or something.

Thanks in advance



Preliminary Information
Time: 10:00 AM
Day: Saturday
Location: Front lobby, near the entranceway; 1st Floor


***Relayed Information (PLEASE READ!!!! - from BSaphire; Taken from the Official Gathering List Topic)***
Quote: "Please advise your gathering that Fanime will be taking photos of the group and if they do not wish to be in them to step aside. If they stay then they are giving consent to be photographed."



Character/Cosplayer List

Edward Elric: Edward Elric (Anime version),  koi, ININ, kagaminerin02 (maybe)
Greed: Bahamutknightzero, Trumby (Possibly)
Envy: KuroOokami, Little Lenny
Wrath: leic-proxy (Anime version)
Winry: Punkbuster (Casual version), Rabid Potato (manga version)
Lust: Druix
Breda: otaking007
Roy Mustang: Evangelion Xgouki (maybe), FinalShadows
Misc: HeeroYuy135 (Soldier in black)
Armstrong: AnimeEmperor


EDIT: Thought I put up some preliminary information to get this ball rolling. If anyone would like to organize this gathering, please be my guest (Has bad memories trying to organize last year's Capcom/SNK gathering..........Ok I'm exaggerating a little, but either way organizing these kind of things are never easy).

EDIT (1/21/09): I might as well make it official and take the spot of TEMPORARY gathering organizer (until the person that usually runs this gathering or a similar person in such power can take the job from my hands so I don't have to stress out/panic over trying to organize a bunch of cosplayers for about half an hour at least).

This is a call for those that are near San Mateo/Burlingame/Hillsborough (or anyone that is willing to travel all the way to Hillsborough).

The head writer for our group's skit for Masq. is in need for a Light Yagami and I'm reaching out to this board to find anyone that is willing to help us out.

Someone that is local to the San Mateo/Burlingame/Hillsborough area would be preferred, but if you are willing to make the travel to record a one-line walk on part, that would be ok too.

Thank you in advance and I'm sorry if this topic doesn't belong here.

[Day:]

I've posted this earlier on the Cosplay.com boards, so I might as well make a copy here too.

It's that time again.....the gatherings have been popping up fast. To my surprise, I saw that no one made a topic regarding this one in particular. Anywho, I felt that someone had to get the word out as soon as possible for this gathering.

Any characters from any fighting game by Capcom or SNK is allowed (to clear up confusion that anyone might have ie: people thinking that only characters from the two Capcom vs SNK games are allowed).

As for other details....

Day: Friday (Same as the last few years)
Time: 5:00 PM
Location: TBA, either inside near the front entrance or outside near the fountains (Depending on size)

I probably can't set this all up alone, so if anyone can help out with the set up, it would be greatly appreciated.

There is a small list set up so far on the cosplay.com board too. The list will be posted here when we get a few more people confirmed to show up.

akira_chan (via Cosplay.com) - Lillith (Darkstalkers)

Moogleborg (via Cosplay.com) - Vergil (Devil May Cry 3)
CosplayerJJ (via Cosplay.com) - Felicia (Darkstalkers)
