So, what do you do? You need to make sure you show up at the convention to sign in at the Masquerade Desk and get your passes and get judged. I'm positive you will be just fine as long as you check in early and do everything we need you to do.

I hope that reassures you :)

Thanks,
Marisa

thanks so much for getting back to us so quick and everything, we are SO excited and are off to work on our skit now!!! ^_^

So, if our group is said to be "pending" at this point, does that mean we didn't get in? :(

holy crap sorry for that huge quote! whoops! just meant to ask, "since your post on the 2nd said you'd be approving skits "tomorrow", does that mean we didn't get in since that was like a week ago at least"

*fingers crossed....

04/02/09 Final Update for the night!

1. OK, all the links on the site have been changed to reflect the fixed URL:
http://www.anime-online.com/cosplay/

2. SSL is now FIXED!!!

3. At this point, I'm moving operations to the http:// URL for 2009, just so that it's consistant :/
http://www.anime-online.com/cosplay/

4. Again, I apologize about the scare. You all know I'm a database dork, so this was my worst nightmare Q_Q  sorries.

5. Approvals will be done tomorrow. I need to read through all the proposals and make sure they are OK. That takes a few hours. Expect changes on this page by tomorrow evening (probably lateish):

Hugs all! GOOD NIGHT :)



04/02/09 Registration Updates

Sooo I fail at life; my SSL certificate expired TODAY >.<  (from last year...) I'm renewing it right now. If you get an SSL certificate error, that's why Q_Q  I'm sorry! It's still a secure site >.>   April Fool's on ME >.<

The site to register is here:
http://www.anime-online.com/cosplay/

PLEASE ignore the SSL warning >.<  it will be fixed in a couple of hours, but I need to reboot the server to do it and I don't want to do that while people are trying to register.

04/01/09 Registration Updates

We are on track to open this evening at 11:59pm! :)

The links will be on THIS page:
http://www.fanime.com/events/masquerade.html

Instructions:
1. Register yourself
2. Get your confirmation e-mail
3. Click on the link in the e-mail to activate your account (NOTE: AOL users -- I will have to do this manually for you -- AOL seems to block Fanime mail)
4. Go BACK to the registration page, log in at the top of the page, update the rest of your registration.
5. You MUST log in and add at least one contestant or your registration will NOT be confirmed.

Usually I stay up this evening to approve entries and such, but because being pregnant makes me totally exhausted >.<  ... I won't be doing that this year. All entries will be approved on April 2nd.

If you have a problem registering  (once the Reg Application is live) -- POST HERE, PM me, or e-mail me. As long as you do one or the other, I can promise you that I will save a spot for you based on the time you posted and/or e-mailed me and I will help you register tomorrow (note: this only applies for the first day of reg).

Thanks :)

Marisa

03/31/09 Masquerade UPDATES!!

Sorry I haven't been trolling the forums as much as I should -- I guess I should make it public: I'm pregnant!! So, I've been sick/exhausted/stressed for about 3 months straight now. We are expecting our little one (our very first) in October. So thank you for your patience with me :) I'm probably going to look like a beach ball in May for Fanime ^_^;; Never fear though, we have our super awesome Masquereade team ready to take care of you too!

ANYWAY -- more along the lines of ZOMG Masquerade.... some reminders.

1. Masquerade registration opens TOMORROW, not today. Tomorrow, April 1, at 11:59pm. So, that's basically midnight tomorrow. Please DO NOT stay up all night tonight (March 31). K? I know people always get confused. This is not an April Fool's joke :)

2. There SHOULD be a link up here when it opens:  http://www.fanime.com/events/masquerade.html
However, if there is not, there WILL be a link, right here, in this forum, in this thread. So please check this thread tomorrow night if a link doesn't appear on the forums for some reason.

Thanks and check back here tomorrow for more info!

*hugs*
