Not the post you were looking for

Man, there's like no fiction getting posted here recently. Sorry.

I return! *bows* Well, technically I returned yesterday, but there's always stuff to catch up on after being away so I was kind of busy. Also, I hadn't checked LJ or my email since last Monday, so I had a lot of backlog to go through. *grins*

My convention was very good! A little colder than I would have liked as there's walking both from the hotel to the convention and from one part of the convention to another (it takes up half of a convention centre and public rooms in three different hotels), but there was no rain which I count as a win. Our costumes turned out well, although we were totally working on them right up until the moment we left the hotel, which is always a bummer. So many little details that take four million times longer than you expect them to. I do not have pictures yet because I was not the person whose camera was used, but I shall try to post some on the weekend.

And I have nothing else to say!

We did two different versions of Sora (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100721211347/kingdomhearts/images/0/0b/Sora_Kingdom_Hearts_II.jpg) from the video game Kingdom Hearts. The game is several years old now, so it wasn't the most popular set of costumes this year, but still fun.

*laughs* I remember those days as well. Sailor Moon and Dragonball are actually becoming the minority now, which I still find very strange. This year's big things were Homestuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestuck) and Adventure Time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_time) - neither of which are animes, oddly enough. I took lots of pictures of some really great costumes, though. :)

Adventure Time is pretty easy to cosplay, that can explain the success ^^
Ah, Sora! Here's a character I know :) I always feel happy when I can identify a cosplay. I used to be able to recognize every character but not anymore ^^

I'm slowly but surely starting the 8th color art of your BB. I'm waiting everything to be finished to send you the art (well, the first part anyway ♥ )

*nods* A lot of the popular ones tend to be the easier costumes - some of the costume designs are bloody impossible to recreate and you don't need to be a master costumer to do Homestuck t-shirts or whatever.

I spend most of the convention either being excited when I see someone I recognize or irritated by the 'I should know who that is, but I don't know why, someone HELP' reaction. Also, there is a sadly increasing number that I don't recognize; I'm not nearly as up with my anime/manga/video games as I used to be. Some of the costumes are just amazing though, even the ones I don't know.

You are just amazing and I am getting totally spoiled here. ^_^ I am very much looking forward to seeing everything!
