Live version of The Game:
+Mission Mail is sent via Twitter.
+The ultimate (last) goal will be to find the gathering.
+Those of you who do not have text may receive missions from the Cosplay Gathering Booth in the Convention Lobby.
+Make sure you pack your DS.
+Both cosplayers and non-cosplayers will be allowed to play.
+All members will be "Players," even if you are cosplaying a Reaper.

Of course, you don't HAVE to play to get to the gathering. I will naturally let the Cosplay Staff (BSaphire) know where the location of the gathering will be prior to con, so you can just ask the Cosplay Gathering Info Table if you don't feel like joining The Game.  (Or, y'know, go where all the cosplayers are congregating XD)

Question! Is the discount off of the FULL badge price (as in, the price the badge would be AT-con, regardless of weekend/day pass), or off of the CURRENT badge price (the price as-is online at the moment, for full-weekend passes only)?

Thank you!

Hello, everyone!

For my senior project, I'm writing a paper on what defines cosplay. So! I figured this would be a good place to have a discussion. Post anything that you feel relates to the subject:

What defines cosplay?

If you're stuck, think about reasons why you cosplay, why you think it's becoming more and more popular, why it is popular on a global scale, etc. Basically anything is fine- just keep the discussion rolling and about cosplay!

Thanks!

---------I'll start------------

I feel that cosplay is more than a hobby- it's an art form. Cosplay, for me, is a wonderful pastime because I get to challenge myself with projects, feel pride in displaying the products, and connect with others (plus make fans of the character really happy ^__^). What I really love the most is the energy I feel when I'm cosplaying amongst a group or attending a gathering
I think cosplay is popular on a global scale because, well, anime/manga are. There's no prerequisites involved- if you love something, then just make it. Some people say that cosplayers do what they do because they want to "escape from reality." I only somewhat agree- true, that's part of the fun, but I think it's a little more about bringing the impossibility into the reality.

What I'm curious to know is: What exactly do you think cosplay is? Does it include Loli styles (EGL, Gothic, Sweet, ect.) and Visual Kei? Does it only include outfits from anime/manga/sci-fi, or are live movies included also?

I have a question: My group would like to participate; however, our outfits are mostly gathered from pre-made sources to be combined into the cosplays. Is that okay? Or will we not be able to participate? We understand that, for sure, we will not be able to be part of the Craftmanship portion, but can we enter just for Presentation? I want to make sure before we actually start rehearsing...

Thanks!~ ^__^
