If anyone if interested in this gathering please respond. I know I am a new host but don't feel intimidated. I decided to host because the previous host did not want to and because I love SAO so much and I wish to share my love for this series with others. :)

I'm going as Kirito from SAO, dual wielding. I would be very interested in going to this and would love to help with the recreation of the fights between Kirito and Heathcliff.

Ariel Ningyo · April 10, 2014, 09:10:57 PM

That would be awesome!!! Now we need to find a Heathcliff. :) I will look around the forums to try to find one.

archer1989 · April 14, 2014, 10:13:11 AM

sweet, keep me informed. I'm interested in doing other fight scene as well, so keep me updated.

Hi everyonew. Newly registered here but loyal attendee for 5 years this year. I always have a great time at Fanime and I'm glad to say that I'll be joining your SAO gathering. I'll be cosplaying ALfheim Kirito. Hope to see you all there :)

Ariel Ningyo · April 14, 2014, 09:39:33 PM

I'm glad you can attend Zack! :) Also archer what do you think about the idea of a battle between Kirito and Silver Crow?

grove_c · April 16, 2014, 12:29:55 PM

I have both a Kuroyukihime (school avatar) and Sinon (GGO).

I can wear either one.

My friend has a GGO Kirito and a school avatar Chiyuri.

Ariel Ningyo · April 17, 2014, 08:17:59 AM

It is up to you grove!!! :) I think both cosplays would be amazing! I would suggest your friend to be Chiyuri though since there will be a ton of Kiritos however it is up to them. It is an SAO meet up after all!

archer1989 · April 17, 2014, 10:41:46 AM

Not entirely sure how the kirito silver crow fight would pan out but I'd be up for it, unless another kirito wants to join in.

Ariel Ningyo · April 17, 2014, 08:00:07 PM

You can do this fight scene too archer :) We just have to find a silver crow than we can plan things out.

Princess Xerxes · April 21, 2014, 03:44:29 AM

I'll be Alicia Rue from SAO:ALO!

Ariel Ningyo · April 21, 2014, 08:59:07 PM

Awesome I added you to the list :)

Hakaru_chan · April 23, 2014, 04:51:30 PM

Hey! I didn't see the SAO gathering on the official gathering list. Will it be on there?

Ariel Ningyo · April 24, 2014, 07:14:45 AM

Yes, the Sword Art Online Gathering is an official gathering and is listed in the official gathering list.

Oh, I'm going as Kirito,

Ariel Ningyo · May 16, 2014, 10:09:57 PM

Awesome I added you :) If you have any friends who will be coming to this meet up please let me know! Thanks ;D

Artemis Cangee · May 18, 2014, 10:53:06 PM

I will be going as Asuna Saturday and Sunday but unfortunately I have a conflict at the gathering time :( Hopefully I can see some of you around the convention! I'm cosplaying from SAO alone so it would be cool to get some pictures with other characters from the show!

Ariel Ningyo · May 19, 2014, 06:30:18 AM

Aww that sucks! :( I was originaly going to have the gathering on saturday however the saturday schedule looked pretty packed and there weren't so many gatherings on sunday so I choose that. Is there a time that would not conflict with your schedule? Will you only be cosplaying SAO on saturday?

Artemis Cangee · May 19, 2014, 12:12:02 PM

I'll be cosplaying as Asuna both Saturday and Sunday! Unfortunately anytime but then on either day (a ton of my friends are hosting/modeling in a panel at that time and I feel quite obligated to go to support them!) I wish I had been more on the ball and looked for a gathering thread earlier but I'm sure I'll see everyone around and perhaps I will pop in after the panel or if the panel lets out early :)
