Attention all Fairy Tailers!
I haven't seen anyone making an official post for a Fairy Tail Gathering for 2014 - so I'm taking the first step! Fanime 2013 Fairy Tail Gathering was a blast and I hope to have lots of cosplayers this year too!
Here's the projected date and time - let me know what you guys think!
Sunday, May 25th at 11:00/11:30 AM
I'm hoping to be able to reserve the Tree Area below the Slab (Next to the Hilton and Cosplayer Hangout)
Now that all of the construction has been completed, it should be free and clear of any of the mess that was hanging around last year and accessible via the street as well.
As people sign up, I'll update the list of characters being cosplayed.
Hope to see you there, Fairies!
EPIC FAIL! :P Please format your first post and go through the gathering thread process please. You can ask maikiritori, jinko, eliteslayer, and even me for help if need be... But I think you can figure it all out :)
I want to see this gathering happen.. PLEASE ... Pretty PLEASE with candy on top?!. :P

I know I fail. This post was to see if there was any interest in a gathering before submitting a formal request with official format. Maybe I should have included a disclaimer, huh? I honestly didn't think I'd get responses so quickly - but it makes me happy none the less. So I will format, I promise - no candy bribery needed. But always appreciated.
Sorry~ Wanted to clarify this!
All three of us will be gender bend, so we will be gender bend Fairy Tail strongest team!

Gotcha! I wasn't sure if it was all inclusive, but I'll edit that right now. Thanks for the heads up!
My wife and I will be there.
I will be coming as Gajeel and my wife is coming as Levy.
Cuz we fulfill shippers fantasies (we also really like the characters)
You know I will be coming as Natsu. Not sure which Natsu costume yet. My friend, Leah, will be coming as Happy. :)
I was female natsu last year for fanime (2013) and it was super fun meeting everyone :)
I plan to be the gender bend of natsu again
I hope to see you all there again, and new faces too ^^
Me and my friend will be going as Lucy and Erza in their playboy bunny costumes. xD
Hi Fairies!
There has been an update! We've shifted to a slightly earlier start time. In case you missed the giant shining red letters up at the top, the Fairy Tail Gathering will go from:
10:30 am - 11:30 am
The gathering information is on the official gathering list now. When in doubt, take a look there.
Can't wait to see you there!
I will be going as genderbend Gajeel :3

Excellent! Another Genderbend!
And since there seem to be so many this time around, I'll add a 'Genderbend' group to the photography listing. This is gonna be great!
Alright! I'm glad we have lots of people on the list already. I'm excited!
Also, my friend is for sure going as Pantherlily. Just confirming that.
And last, would it be alright if I brought along some Fairy Tail stickers to pass out to the people at the gathering? I'm making them myself, just for fun!

I don't see why not, as long as they're family friendly. We want to be able to represent Fairy Tail as best we can and show all of Fanime what they're missing out on!
Ah! I can't wait for the Fairy Tail gathering! Last's year's was so much fun!
I'll probably show up as Gray again, unless I can get one of my other cosplays done...

I take it back. It looks like I'll actually be able to get Rogue done, so you can expect a Sting and Rogue!!! ^^
My boyfriend and I would like to join the meet up. I am playing Lightning Empress Erza and he is playing Mystogan.

You know what guys, I can't believe I didn't see this before, but we don't have a Dragon Slayers Wizard photo group! We have so many coming, it would be a shame not to.
Since I clearly missed that, is there any other groups that you guys would like to see at the gathering?
Holy crud, it's the final countdown to Fanime! So as we all sew furiously and sob over last minute projects, let me just say I am really looking forward to this and can't wait to see you all!
Safe travels and I hope you all have an excellent Fanime!
Let's do this thing!!!
I'll just leave this here... Consider it incentive for a TOTALLY AWESOME GATHERING this year!!!!

Ah! Thank you so much for sharing, what a great shot! I'm the Juvia with the dark blue hair, who else was at last year's gathering?
Nice! I'm the Gray crossplayer on the right. ^^
Little Late but ill be Mystogan One staff as well. Trying a new approach (cloth instead of sports tape, and some sew into cloths that falls to easily) so mine might not look as good as the other, but ill be there!!!
Im the mystogan from the last gathering.
Sorry for such late notice but I will be going as Loke (Lucy's celestial spirit) and my friend will be going as Lucy Heartfilia.
My kids will be there as a young Erza and young Natsu!!! They are super excited!!!
Hey guys. If you want to share pictures i have made a group for Fanime fairy tail.
Fanime Fairy Tail : https://www.facebook.com/groups/894249730592468/ (hope that works)
I have made it open so people can view the pictures without giving away their Facebook information if they do not want others adding them.
Those who are feel free to join and share the pictures from BOTH gatherings. (10:30am and 4pm and the epic Snake/table battles!)
Hey everyone! My girlfriend and I were the Alzack and Bisca at the 10:30 gathering. Our Natsu was supposed to be taking pictures for us, but... yeah.
So we don't have any. If you got any shots of us, I would greatly appreciate a link! Thank you, and btw, you were all awesome! Great meeting.
Hi everyone! I was the Robe of Yūen Erza Scarlet!
I had a great time meeting you all, thank you for a great gathering! :)
Oh my freaking gosh you guys! That was such a phenomenal gathering! I hope everyone had as much fun as I had. It was so exciting to see everyone come out for the gathering, we had close to 50 cosplayers throughout the entire day (including the unofficial mini-gathering later in the day) and I could not have asked for a better event. Thank you again for joining me on Sunday and absolutely making my con.
Let me know what your favorite moment at the gathering was! I'd love to hear everyone's feedback so we can make next year's gathering even bigger and better!

The whole day was fantastic! It was great seeing everyone there!!!!
Sadly, I wasn't in costume (mostly was support for my sister and her hubby sorta XD ) but I had a blast at both gatherings. Especially the unofficial afternoon one, which I think was more relaxed and goofy since there wasn't the time crunch like at the official one. Mad props to that Daenerys cosplayer for being such a good sport when the unofficial gathering flagged her for that "Dragonslayers vs Mother of Dragons" shot.
Hoping one of these days to get the funding and free time together to do an Erza cosplay. x_x
Wow! If anyone's been over to the Cosplay Gatherings Dept's photo site, our gathering ate up a good majority of TWO WHOLE TIME SLOTS! That's huge! I'm so proud of you guys and all of your support for Fairy Tail! I can honestly say I had an absolutely phenomenal time and am thankful that everyone was able to come.
If you guys want to take a look and share, here's a link to Sunday's photos. Just click on the 9AM-10AM and 10AM-11AM files and everything's there.

Hey!! I was the Happy last year with all the stickers! I'm definitely coming to the gathering this year and was gonna see about organizing one if no one else got around to it... but I'm glad to see you're already on top of it. :DD
I'm gonna be (SPOILER WARNING) time-skip!Natsu this year, fingers crossed. And I'd bring stickers and stuff to share again as well if that's still alright. Please keep me updated and let me know if I can do anything to help.
OH, and I'd be down for any time. My schedule will literally revolve around this gathering.
Bumping this up since we have a formal gathering time and place! Woo!! Please see the first posting for the gathering info. Can't wait to see you all there!
Awesome. I am going to be there as Natsu.
The wife and I will be back with our Gajeel and Levy.
I think I might bring my Erza. But whether or not I'll attend will depend on other events.
If the fates are good to me, I'll be bringing Avatar Gray (from the latest FT manga chapters).

Only 3 days until Fanime and 5 days until the Fairy Tail Gathering! I'm so excited to see everyone in their Fairy Tail cosplays. Be sure to spread the news and I'll see you all there!
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the gatherings this year! We ended up with one official gathering and two unofficial gatherings. Woot woot! Go us!!!!
Here's the link to the Facebook Fanime Fairy Tail page. I made an album for 2015, so we can compile all of of the pictures of awesomeness!!!!
Thanks again for coming out, guys! We all had a blast! I hope to see ya around the con circle!!!!

So, I am the guy who came in after a bit and helped your organizer make the gathering go smooth. I am still uploading more pictures as we speak of the day as a whole, but I think I got you guys in.
Sorry I was unable to attend in costume. I had to choose between two costumes because of the whole parking situation... costume changes were going to be too hard.
I did stop by to take some pictures. I arrived a little late due to going to the wrong place & then having trouble finding an exit.... -.-;
Anyway... Pics: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sunara_ishi/sets/72157653151380359
Sorry for taking so long to post these.
Here are my pics from this year's meetup: https://www.flickr.com/photos/metasheep/sets/72157653749908090
I know it's kinda early, but I like planning ahead. I will be doing Gajeel next year with my sister as Levy
