Title: Naruto Shonen Ai/Shojo Ai/Pairing Gathering 2011
Post by: Eeri-chan on June 16, 2010, 07:57:27 PM
Day: Fanime Saturday
Time: 12:30 (during the Naruto Picnic)
MP: Naruto Gathering (Fountains in front of Convention Center, Marriott Side)
L: Park across from Fairmont Hotel (Caesar Chavez Plaza)

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.

Don't forget to check out the Regular Naruto Gathering (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,10127.0.html)!

Additional Rules For This Gathering:
On top of the usual FanimeCon Rules that everyone is expected to follow, because this gathering focuses on pairings, it is a bit more mature, and as such there are a few extra rules that everyone is asked to follow:

1. Keep all poses PG
2. No kissing
3. Be respectful of everyone's boundries. If you don't know someone and you want to pose with them, ask them.
4. Keep your hands in respectful places. In other words, no groping.
5. Because of the sensitive nature of age and romantic poses we must be very careful. With that in mind all participants 16 and over are welcome to stand for poses that include no touching. Any participants in poses that include any touching MUST be 18 or older.
6. Due to the presence of children and families, there will be no incestuous pairings (ie: ItaSasu, etc) or Sensei-Pupil pairings (ie: KakaNaru, etc). This is to avoid any issues with people who might find this upsetting.  

Rules may be added as seen fit by moderators, staff, and organizer.


Do you need someone to complete your pair? Just post here and keep an eye out for people who are also looking. If there's a star by someone's name that means they are looking for someone to pair up with, then just look for their name under the Pairing List to find out which pair they ship. If you ship their character with yours, but they don't, just ask if they'd be willing to pose with you! If someone hasn't designated what pair they want to be a part of, there will be two stars next to their name, so you can also ask them if you can pose with them! But remember, keep all poses PG!

Original or Shippuden? Or your own version? And what pair are you hoping to be a part of?

Do you have a pair you'd like to be a part of?


Also, I know it's early on, but I'd like to encourage some discussion about what pairings everyone is expecting to be at the gathering, what pairings they hope are there, what pairing they want to be a part of, as well as a discussion about what they think is appropriate behavior and such!

Thanks everyone who has signed up so far! I think this is gonna be an amazing gathering!

Post by: Eeri-chan on July 06, 2010, 01:01:40 AM
All right! So, after Anime Expo and the Naruto 'Yaoi' gathering that went on Day Three, I have a pretty good idea of what not to do for this gathering.

It's really important that everyone take part in the discussion about what is and isn't appropriate. I want to make sure that everyone is clear on what's going on, and on what's okay. The Naruto pairing gathering at AX included very little inappropriate poses, however, a lot of the people there were of age and the other portion was below age. Like twelve. This is something that will not be tolerated at Fanime, I know it's already in the rules, but I really want to reiterate that.

Anyhoo, what does everyone consider appropriate touching? I'm sure as the year drags on and we get closer there will be more replies and people up for discussing what they feel is okay, but I just have the experience from AX fresh in my mind. The AX gathering was fun, however, the participants also did not listen to the leaders, and there were too many people helping out. If you want to help with organizing this, that's fine, but I will only allow so many people, and I'll be the one on the bull horn.

Also, it's really important for the sake of time that we go quickly, so if we want this to work, we need to know what pairings people have in mind for poses. There are a lot of characters, which means a lot of pairing options, so if we can get some suggestions and if people could mention what they want to pose for that would be great!

Yeah. I don't mean to be uber anal, but I do want everyone to have fun while still being appropriate so none of us get scolded. :)

Post by: monikamilani on July 06, 2010, 10:10:29 AM
So, can you give some examples of appropriate touching in mind? And the poses are the kind of poses that are romantic and face to face?
Title: Re: Naruto Shonen Ai/Shojo Ai/Pairing Gathering 2011
Post by: Eeri-chan on July 06, 2010, 11:14:18 AM
Well, it depends. In my opinion sixteen and seventeen year olds ought to refrain from anything that exceeds a PG rating. Hugs, or linked arms might be okay. But that also depends on the person. Eighteen and older have a little more room to pose, however, we also need to keep it as family friendly as possible.

That's why I want to know what everyone thinks is okay. Everyone has different boundaries, you know? If the people posing are friends or in a relationship they might be more comfortable to pose with each other, whereas a stranger might not be.

Of course, if you want to have a really hardcore pairing picture then I would suggest to have a private shoot.

Also, some people might not want to pose for shonen ai or shojo ai, but others might not want to pose for a straight pairing. And someone might not want to pose for one ship but pose for another. Which is why I also want us to discuss about what pairings we expect to see, or want to pose for.

Ooooooh! I really want to attend this one! But which char should I go as?

Kimimaro, Akatsuki Orochimaru, Kabutomaru, or TimeWarp!Orochimaru? (Orochi with Rocky Horror getup)

Which do you think you could get the most use out of?
Title: Re: Naruto Shonen Ai/Shojo Ai/Pairing Gathering 2011
Post by: Eeri-chan on July 23, 2010, 08:59:03 PM
That is a very good question.

Honestly, I don't know. I imagine you'd get a lot of mileage out of Orochimaru or Kabuto. Probably even Kimimaro. I don't know! -headdesk- I'm hoping that this gathering will be on the same day as the Official Naruto Gathering, and either before or after it. I don't want it to conflict with the picnic, or the CLAMP gathering (since I cosplay Cardcaptor Sakura as well) or the Kuroshitsuji gathering (since I'm cosplaying Grell, although, that is not as important).

So, I don't know, but the time might affect who you cosplay. I saw you are cosplaying Kimimaro (-squee-) so it might be easier to cosplay him at the gathering.

Also, did you have any particular pairings you were hoping to pose for? Or were you a free-for-all?

Just as a note to help with timing.  We will be having the picnic again this year, it's always right after the official gathering.  This really leaves you two options if you want to have a time connected with the official gathering.  (At least as far as I see it.)  1. You can go before the official gathering.  2. You can go during the picnic.  Now I dont' mean miss the picnic, I mean come over to the park with everyone, do your photos and everything in the park then join the lunch / game fun of the picnic. 

There are pros and cons to both of those ideas, and you can still pick a different time.  I just wanted to give you that information.  Also, I can just about promise you that the Naruto Gathering will be at 11 or noon this year, I'm leaning toward 11 because by noon the day is getting hot and people start melting in their cosplays (case in point I was litterally falling apart this year for the noon gathering). 

I hope that helps some.  It's still so early in the planning stages that everything is up for debate.  It's going to be another GREAT year.  Your gathering will really add to the fun.   :)

Post by: Eeri-chan on July 23, 2010, 09:40:26 PM
That might actually work--having it at the picnic, I mean. But yes, it is really early in the planning stage. Perhaps if we can't get a ten o'clock time then we can do it at the picnic--unless you do get stuck with twelve, although, I imagine if you get twelve, we won't be getting eleven.

And it might be better if it's at ten in the morning simply because less people will be up, and it's more likely that the younger ones won't be coming along. I do not want this gathering to be like the AX one where there were twelve year olds. >_< Absolutely not.

So, I think we'll leave it as we're trying to a ten o'clock time, which is before the Naruto gathering, at the fountains, but if we fail to get that, then it will just be at the picnic. :)

Thanks, BrightHeart!

Hello everyone! It's been a while since any posts have been made, and I just wanted to let everyone know that a new rule has been added. This rule is not intended to limit fun and merriment, but to keep other people around us happy so that we can do this again another year and don't get in trouble.

I understand that a lot of people might ship things like ItaSasu, or KakaNaru. This has nothing to do with my personal preference and everything to do with what parents might see as inappropriate. This rule also has an added bonus in that it means we won't have as many pairings to worry about getting missed. If you want to pose for something like one of the aforementioned pairings, I'm not going to be going around the con banging people on the head for it. Obviously. Please, feel free to do as you like in regards to posing at other locations, but at this gathering, I just want to keep it as organized and family friendly as possible.


Also, don't be afraid to start discussing stuff. I know this is a long way off, but even just friendly chat is encouraged. Especially since I am sure people will be looking for someone to pair with for those who do not have someone.

Thanks!

-Eeri

The "Het" couple in our group will be Minato/Kushina and the yaoi side would be either Kakashi/Iruka or SasuNaru. Haha we might even sneak in a little Madara/Minato!

We're planning to go to the general gathering and are doing a Naruto-focused panel, so our cosplay choices depend on the scheduling!

The 8 people in our group will be:
-Hokage!Minato (Yondaime) or Shipp Sasuke
-Pregnant!Kushina (Naruto's mom) or Shipp Naruto
-Kakashi or Pre-time-skip Naruto
-Iruka or Pre-time-skip Sasuke

I'll be cosplaying Gaara (Shippuden) and I'm apart of Shingami_Lover's group.

I don't mind any requests for pairings...I have a feeling that my Naru will steal me and not share...

And just wondering, is kissing really that bad? I know it might be somewhat bad if it's yaoi/yuri, but still...People kiss all the time in movies...

It's different because this focuses on pairings, not teams, villages, etc. I've never actually seen that sort of stuff go on at the Naruto gathering--rather, I didn't last year--because there just isn't time to fit that in a gathering the size that Naruto gatherings tend to be. This gathering is meant to have fun with those things that we ship, essentially. And I'd already run this by the organizer of the Naruto gathering to get approval for it and, as long as I made the rules a certain way, it was okay. It doesn't infringe on what is already happening at the official Naruto gathering in anyway.

Yeah, I do want it right after. I think what will happen is that we will do this gathering at the Naruto picnic. At this point, we could get a time slot for after the Naruto gathering, but I'm sure everyone also wants to go to the picnic and also be able to run around and not pose for pictures all day.

Although, now that I see that you're the new organizer... I am so confused. Oh man. So, is there a picnic happening too? Because I know when BrightHeart and I talked, there was. We'd talked about doing it at the picnic if need be. Do you know what's going on with that?

And just wondering, is kissing really that bad? I know it might be somewhat bad if it's yaoi/yuri, but still...People kiss all the time in movies...

The point of that rule is to keep people from crossing a strangers boundaries and also because we do not want minors in compromising poses, especially with a legal adult. I realise that a lot of people who cosplay are typically between 15-25 and sometimes someone who is seventeen and someone who is eighteen are together. It happens. But I don't want parents or someone walking around complaining.

Personally, I would not consider yaoi/yuri kissing bad at all. When I was seeing someone, she and I kissed all the time. Someone who wants to take offense to a gay couple is gonna do so whether they kiss or hold hands, and their complaint isn't going be listened to. They can't complain about the gathering because of their homophobic biases, but they can complain about inappropriate behavior in general. I've seen Pairing gatherings get out of hand. I'm not exactly one to get uncomfortable with pushing the envelope, but I found myself feeling that way at the two I've been. The last one I went to my little cousin--my thirteen year old cousin--saw some things I wish she hadn't.

"No kissing" will be difficult to enforce, but I hope that everyone does follow the rules. I'm seriously not trying to limit fun. Like I said, if you want to pose like that for your own pictures separate from the gathering, I would say go for it. I'm not in charge of what you do, but if something from the gathering gets called out then the chance of having another gathering like this is pretty small. And I'd really like to continue doing this gathering.


Quote from: TearxGuyFan on February 03, 2011, 11:19:30 PMand I don't think kissing is bad just depends on the people right?

Again, like I said above, this isn't just about respecting other people's boundaries, it's also about respecting the fact that little kids run around at conventions. One person starts kissing, then they start making out, someone jumps on someone else, then there's a dog pile of people, and it turns into a mini orgy. And yes, I have seen it happen at gatherings. If I allow kissing and then it gets out of hand, it's risk the future of the gathering.

I don't make these rules for no reason. This was something that was discussed between myself and the official Naruto gathering organizer as mandatory for the event. Yes, it will be hard to enforce, but only if people choose not to follow the rules. I do not mean to sound harsh, but I would really like it if you did follow the rules. Just think about it this way: if you have a little kid there with you, say four or five, and suddenly there are two people snogging viciously without reserve, would you feel comfortable allowing them to come to the con again?

Sure, it happens in movies, but if you take your kid to a rated R film, that's your problem. You take them to a convention, that should be considered family friendly--this isn't Ycon--then yes, I think some parents might get mad. It's not about the sex or gender identity of the people either. Boundaries should be respected, not just for the people involved in the gathering, but those walking surrounding it.

Why not do it straight after the other Naruto gathering? That way no one will miss it.

I'd stay after the gathering for it, if you choose to do that.

That is the hope. I do need to discuss it with the official Naruto gathering organizer, but we were discussing before about the gathering being at the picnic. So, once I've talked to her and hashed things out, then we'll know for sure.


Again, sorry to be so MIA. Stupid emails not getting sent. I'll be working on college applications all this week, so I'm not gonna be back until that's done. I am sick of them hovering over me like a bad omen or something. T_T Feel free to keep chatting and I'll update the list as soon as I can!

Yeah, I do want it right after. I think what will happen is that we will do this gathering at the Naruto picnic. At this point, we could get a time slot for after the Naruto gathering, but I'm sure everyone also wants to go to the picnic and also be able to run around and not pose for pictures all day.

Although, now that I see that you're the new organizer... I am so confused. Oh man. So, is there a picnic happening too? Because I know when BrightHeart and I talked, there was. We'd talked about doing it at the picnic if need be. Do you know what's going on with that?

I hope I can clear up some of your confusion! Yes, we're gonna keep the picnic/lunch at the park plan and the offer to have your gathering there still stands ^^ I'm fine with it and I'm sure it will be okay with everyone else, the park's big enough for all of us. The official regular gathering time is 11:30 on Saturday and we were going to head over to the park as soon as our hour was up at 12:30. I really want to go to your gathering so I hope the info helps! Keep in touch ^^

Awesome! That does make things much clearer.

If that's okay, I think having the gathering at the picnic would just be the easiest way to make everyone happy because then someone who needs to go to the picnic, like the organizer, but who wants to also be at this gathering, can just be at both simultaneously. Also, the park is pretty and full of trees, which would be great for pictures. ^^

So, I'll change the time to 12:30 at the park during the picnic, then? ^^

THE LIST HAS BEEN UPDATED! Yay, procrastination!


Okay guys, please go look over the list! If I've missed you or someone you know who is coming, please let me know! Names would make it a whole lot easier to identify people, not just saying "so-and-so's friend". I have no idea if my count is right. T_T

Also, please keep me updated about pairings you want to see, be a part of, etc. Right now, it seems like a small gathering, but I'm sure more people will arrive at the actual event. And also, people will just start joining in, I'm sure. If you didn't specifically state what you hope to pose for pair-wise, I might have just left that part blank because I was confused. So just make sure to clarify.

One more thing! With the date and time decided on, please update your costume if were undecided before because of the uncertainty on the time. If you are still unsure, don't worry about it, too much. Just let me know when you can so that I have more of an idea about the characters/pairings.

Coolness! Sounds good to me ^^ Oh, and as far as pairings go could you change mine to two stars? I'm not too picky when it comes to pairing Neji with people lol

I am once again having issues with getting email notifications on here, so please it may take me a while to respond (at least until the first of March, because I am still working on my college application). But never fear, I will still be here!

And I finally bought my Fanime ticket!!! Yay tax refunds!!!!

I'm actually super excited for this gather. I was wondering if it died out of no interest. I hope more people come!

Nope, not dead. I've just been super swamped with all the cosplay stuff I need to work on. ^^

I'll be a short haired Itachi, so if there's a Sasuke willing to love his brother, then I'm in.

Ah, I hope you still come, but if you look at the rules on the main page, because of the need to keep it family friendly, there will be no incest and no teacher/student poses. You are more than welcome to do them on your own time, of course, but since this is the first time this gathering has been at Fanime, I've been asked to do my best to keep it PG.

Don't worry, I didn't mean any actual 'loving' poses, just maybe a pat on the head or battle pose or something.
