Hurrah!

Editing! All that's left is editing! Suuure, it's an hour and a half later than I planned to finish, but whatever. (It's also 47 pages now. And the plot kind of hangs together maybe. I still wouldn't want anyone I actually like to have to read it, though.)

Also, I spent entirely too much time tonight trying to find an appropriate mechanic's jumpsuit. What do you suppose the stigma would be for cosplaying a character from Firefly at ACen? As much as I like Winry and Psiren, I think I've kind of worn those costumes out (all right, I'll probably still do Psiren because I didn't get that one right until last year, but still). Non-anime characters are frowned upon, but Kaylee is so cute. And I'll mostly just be hanging out at sketchyheart's art table anyway, soooo... surely people wouldn't be that mean to me for not being a proper anime geek anymore... Right? (I suck at anime geekery! Ahh!)

At least this year I resolve to be more unabashed about my picture-taking. Because this is probably my last ACen. Fweee.

I've never noticed any objection to people cosplaying non-anime characters at cons. Especially not if the character is still from something that's popular among anime fans, despite its not being anime. So I think cosplaying Firefly should be fine, I notice a lot of anime fans seem to enjoy it, so they'll probably enjoy cosplay for it just as much as anime cosplay.

Heh, I hope so. I just remember all the crap the people in Harry Potter outfits got... and I think that was mostly the first year I went.

Aah. I think that could also possibly just be because it was Harry Potter. There's a lot of other opportunities to dress up as Harry Potter characters. And the books are so well known that it kind of gets rid of the "Oh wow! You like that too!?" factor of it.

From my less-paranoid-about-committing-cosplay-taboo standpoint, I imagine part of the problem was also that they weren't anyone in particular, just a bunch of people basically dressed like anonymous OCs. Hmmm...

(I think this is going to come down to "But Kaylee wears comfortable clothes, and is fun!")
