SM cosplay

Captain_Sparrow hit it on the head with his comment. Honestly, most cosplayers are more than happy to pose for a picture (unless they're on a break!). Only time I've ever said no is if I'm crewing and rushing to get somewhere but I've always told people to come find me on the Cosplay Desk later on (I crew for the cosplay area .. in cosplay!)

Looking forward to seeing the wonderful cosplays from everyone! Come and say hi to us crew from Costume and Play on the Cosplay Desk - usually located near the Cosplay Stage, we have a Cosplay Masquerade for each day as well as Cosplay Panels (we will be posting the timetable nearer to the time). The whole team will be in cosplay more than likely - think I'm going to bring my Santiago (NightVale OC) and one of my Harry Potter cosplays (can't decide which one!) Mel Costume and Play

Just packing tonight, leaving straight after work on Friday, I'll be there Saturday and Sunday!

@tania_twinkle would like to see you!! @Mr J yes there is a competition on Sunday at 4pm .. you need to sign up either using the email or at the Cosplay Desk (we will more than likely be very close to the Cosplay Stage on Level 1 - see the floorplan). If the table isn't obvious there, just ask one of the crew around the cosplay stage and they will be able to direct you to the table to sign up!

@Mr J - Yes, at 4pm Sunday :)

@tania_twinkle Oooo yes, I still cosplay while crewing! They tend to be my 'comfier' cosplays so that I can run around in them. LFCC I'm taking my steampunk pirate OC and Keith from L4D2 I think, come and say hi!! (that goes for everyone lol)

@Ashvstheworld Awesome, love GotG! @RoryMcGarrett Go for it!! @taniatwinkle Ahhh yes I know Mo Jo :) I'm always 'behind the scenes' too, usually cosplay crew and used to be rarely 'on' the stage. Then @JessicaCosplay got involved and I've now presented masquerades and panels and am slowly conquering the stage fright . It does mean that if there are any scared people backstage I can help them as I go through it *every* time I get in front of people hehe.

@Ashvstheworld Ooooo awesome!! Who are you cosplaying?? @tania_twinkle Alas, don't we all wish we could do more cartwheels We *do* have both the Championship masquerade on Sunday (where your cosplay needs to be at least 80% handmade) and also our Open Masquerade where any costume can enter if you want a chance to perform on stage .. even if it isn't cartwheels!

Izzy, the Community Masquerade and the Open Masquerade are both open to anyone who wants to take part with any costume, or group. The Championship is open to anyone who has handmade at least 80% of their costume. Both have prizes, and if you want to read more on the rules, see the rules post in the forum too. You can do a performance/skit or just posing if needed. If in doubt pop us an email or come and see us on the day!

I'm crewing on the Cosplay Zone and will be Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter and Punk!Marius from Les Miserables, come and say hi!
