I'd honestly prefer it to be either postponed to summer/fall or just cancelled with preordered badges refunded or honored for next year. Of course I'm going to be bummed out to miss a chance to see friends, but this is a safety/health concern and it's going to be hard to enjoy the con even if we're allowed back outside. The situation will still be all too recent.

I'm a gathering host and will try to advise everyone to spread out during photos, but I can't say I'm comfortable running my gathering/attending other gatherings under these conditions.

Hi! I've submitted the gathering application and am aiming for Saturday around 4:00pm. I'll update again once we're approved.

Also we are keeping an eye out for Fanime announcements regarding the COVID-19 situation. If Fanime is still held Memorial Day weekend, please be aware that people may not feel comfortable standing too close during group photos. Because of this, please especially make sure it's okay with another cosplayer if you want to pose holding hands, hugging, picking someone up, etc. (It's possible we might discourage this behavior, we are still deciding.)

This is truly an unusual situation, but we will do our best to make this gathering still work. In the meantime please try to stay safe and make smart decisions, not just for your own health but for the health of others.

Updating this thread for 2020~

The date/time/location is undecided at the moment, let us know if you have any thoughts about it!

One week away!

It was brought to our attention that there was a request to do something in honor of wowaka during the gathering. (For anyone that hasn't heard, he passed away earlier this year.) However I'm not terribly sure what we could do. Everybody singing along to Rolling Girl was suggested, but I don't think everyone is able to sing in Japanese (I know I can't ^^; ).

If anyone has any ideas that will fit within the gathering's time limit, please feel free to suggest them. I know in past years somebody would occasionally bring speakers to the gathering to play music off of, so if anyone plans to do that again this year then please consider throwing in a few wowaka songs. Thank you!

I'll be cosplaying Rinea from Shadows of Valentia!

Bump~ We're about a month away!

Heyo~ We've been confirmed for Saturday at 4:00pm! Our location has changed again, this year we'll be at G8! ⭐️

I saw Fanime put out a tentative gathering list on FaceBook, but I didn't see Fire Emblem on it. I hope everything's just getting sorted out, but I'm eager to find out the confirmed time >.<

Bumping this, but I requested our gathering to be Saturday at 4:00pm! Just waiting for the official list to confirm our time now~ ^^

By the way, did we have official photos from last year's gathering? I don't see us in https://fanimecon.slickpic.com/albums/FanimeCon-Saturday-2pm-3pm-01/?wallpaper&viewer :'(

Honestly I was wondering the same thing. After the last con I was also looking around for them on there, but had no luck finding anything. I'm really not sure what happened. Other than the SlickPic website, gathering hosts aren't given any special link or notification about their gathering's photos, so we're in the same boat as everyone else. :(

I'm hoping it was just a one time mistake since this doesn't unusual happen. Crossing my fingers that we'll get them this year!

Hi there! I'm reviving this thread for 2019!

This year's gathering submission form hasn't been posted yet, but when it is I'm aiming for Saturday at 3pm or 4pm. Please let me know how that sounds or if there are any preferences for a different time. Thanks!! \(' v ' )

Hi! I already filled out the poll for my preferred day (anytime Sunday), but I was wondering what day/time the gathering has usually been held over the years? It's my first time doing a FE cosplay and I'd absolutely hate to cancel because it conflicted with the gathering I'm running (Saturday afternoon).

Fanime's just a week away!! :D

Quick reminder that we've changed from last year's location to G6 - "Fallout Zone" in front of the convention center! Make sure to go to the right location, hope to see everyone there!

I'll be Blue(JP)/Green(US) from the Pokemon Special manga~ ^^

It's May! Can't wait for Fanime!! ;)

Bumping the thread~ I hope everyone's cosplays are coming along well!

We've just been confirmed for Saturday at 2:00pm and have this year moved to the G6 "Fallout Zone" location! Hope everyone's looking forward to it!  ;)

Hi everyone! The gathering form has been submitted! We're aiming for Saturday afternoon and have a FaceBook link now. Please keep an eye out for updates~!

As always, please feel free to comment what you intend to wear! I always look forward to seeing what characters we'll have attending! ♡ ♡ ♡

Updating the thread for 2018!

A heads-up to everyone that we are considering moving the location from the previous area, G7 - "The SLAB" (outside the Hilton Hotel Bar), to potentially G6 - "Fallout Zone" outside alcove in front of Convention Center. If you have any thoughts or preference about either location, please comment! Feedback would be fantastic! :)

I'll be attending as Harvest Moon Hatsune Miku! Look forward to seeing all the other amazing vocaloid cosplays~

Ahhh that's such a pretty Miku!! Updated~! \(' v ' )
