Another Anime Convention 2013

well since last years My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic cosplay at AAC 2011 went so well. I decided to make this years Cosplay tread. If any of you pony cosplayers don't remember me I was cosplaying as princess luna last year. well I'm going to be Derpy this year.

What I was getting at is there any pony planing on cosplaying these series besides me. so we can set up a photo shoot and such. Maybe even a get together over the summer? please let me know.

Was Soarin' and Silverstar last year. Should also have Derpy and Discord cosplays for this coming year.

Might be Applejack again, depending on a panel I want to try to do. I was AJ last year, probably did not see me as I was busy being staff. And was the AJ at the summer Matsur, for the ones who went to that.

Great, I will be at Anime Boston as well as Apple Bloom and Derpy as well so see everypony at the Photo Shoot at AB.

Definitely going as Twilight Sparkle, with a Spike, Fluttershy, and Dr. Whooves.

Almost positive of having a Pinkie Pie and Big Mackintosh.

I'm more than likely going to be Applejack again - I had a blast at last year's shoot and definitely want to go again!

I actually jumped on here to start the thread to organize the shoot (then saw I'd been beaten by several months) because I had some concerns about how other shoots at other cons have been run and because I had such a good time at last year's shoot on Saturday I don't want to see that happen at AAC - we had some AWESOME pictures and some incredible cosplays and everypony seemed to enjoy themselves.

Can we all agree to please start the shoot on time (or if punctuality is not possible, late)? A very poor taste was left in my mouth at another shoot I was at because somepony shanghaied the shoot and decided to start ten minutes EARLY - I feel like if a shoot starts a little late to get a few stragglers that's okay, but starting a shoot that early is extremely unfair to anypony who may have other commitments, such as panels (attending or running), Artist Alley tables, autograph signings, competitions, or any other number of things going on at a convention. This made a couple of the people in my group and me a little angry because people who showed up a few minutes early or otherwise on time missed character calls. Although I don't feel the whole shoot was ruined and caused everyone to had a bad time, I still feel like that decision was in poor taste and definitely affected several cosplayers.

I'm not trying to start any unnecessary drama in regards to what transpired - what happened has already passed and there's nothing to be done about it anymore. However, I think this can be treated as a learning experience so everypony who puts in the effort to get to the shoot on time gets in all of the appropriate shots. There are some fabulous costumes out there that some ponies put a lot of effort into, so let's try to be fair to everypony who wants to get their picture taken.

Just as a side note, you can plan more then one photoshoot for a group. Since one time might not work for all, last years did not work out for me or the other cosplay/masq staff girls who wanted to go.

I strongly agree with the multiple shoots sentiment (I think most of the big fandoms have multiple shoots), I just feel that starting a shoot ten minutes early is extremely discourteous, it happened at an MLP shoot I attended, and I wanted to try and prevent it from happening at AAC.

I'll probably be cosplaying Vinyl Scratch on Friday and/or Sunday

I'm working on my Princess Luna cosplay now. I should be finished with it in time

So I will be bringing Applejack. A My Little Pony sing a long is in the works. I was thinking before or after the panel we could have one of the photoshoots. I will only be in AJ while hosting that, along with the rest of my main 6. So I hope that people will be up for that, as I'd like to addend one photoshoot this year. I'm aiming for the event to be Friday well before the formal or some time late Saturday night after the masq.

only going to be coming on friday so if we had a photo shoot on friday it would be great.

This will be my first year, and IF I CAN GET THE STUFF IN TIME -
I will be Fluttershy at some point. (:

My sister will be cosplaying as Rarity at AAC this year!
