Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?

[asaxchan]

SALUTATIONS, FELLOW CONGOERS!

[: I had an awesome time today at the picnic, and here's just a general open invite for something occuring in the future. On August 13 (8/13-- you got it right, Kingdom Hearts fandom, it's Axel/Roxas day!), myself and some friends, namely Sarah (mirithespazz) and Missy, the Axel to my Roxas, are going to be having a massive show-off-our-cosplays-and-or-finish-them-up-photoshoot-thing!

That is to say, on August 13th we're having a nerd herd meetup. Anyone interested? Send me a message or contact me on aim - 'aixkiraixjisatsu' is the sn. Further details (such as location) will be ironed out depending on who'd be interested in coming.

-Emily~

EDIT THE SECOND: Okay, with only a few days left until 8/13 and not that many RSVP's, it's come time to make decisions about the locations. The workshop is going to be at my house - email me for the address (aijisatsu@gmail.com) - and the photoshoot is going to be downtown in the Park Blocks. Photoshoot-ers and workshoppers are going to meet up at SW Park and Market, near PSU, and we're going to migrate from there as weather and photo desires allow.

I LOVE THAT DAY I HAVE TO COME

Akjhadklfjsdf good~ It's the best day of the year (with the possible exception of 6/9.)

[Hazuza]

I'd love to come xD Really, I want to take some more professional-ISH cosplay photos, but it's awkward to ask people aside xD A photoshoot would be a great solution.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to go though. Tons of crap going for me in August.

[Mirithespazz]

AHHHH I'm so excited for this!

I hope you can come, it would be wicked awesome. My collective group of friends has some excellent photographers among us, so you'd be able to get professional-ish quality shots... *crosses fingers* Also, if you cosplay Hisoka to KCon I might have to marry you. Just for the record.

For the Axel cosplayers, My wife and I have made up several sets of his Fire rings (Chakrams) to sell. Man I need to take some pictures of them and update my website.

[Sayda]

It sounds like fun, but my Roxas lives in Eugene, so I'd be Roxasless. ~ ~

[asaxchan]

But you know what, that's totally okay because I'm a Roxas, too. :3

I shoulda done these replies as one, but my Axel may or may not be interested in purchasing those, considering scroll saws suck and we don't have much time before con. I'll ask her and get back to you, is that okay?

Haha, I guess I meant more along the lines of I would come by myself.

[asaxchan]

Oh that's fine, I feel like most people will be (if they come at all...?). WE DON'T BITE hard. It's cool if you come by yourself.

[Sayda]

I might go, but I still have a lot to do on my Axel cosplay.

[asaxchan]

I might go, but I still have a lot to do on my Axel cosplay.

Yeah, I still have a lot to do on Roxas, too. It's a combination photoshoot/work-on-costumes day, so if you want to work on it with us, that would be cool. I bet that my Axel is going to be putting finishing touches on, too.

[Auricle]

Depending on where it's happening, I'll totally be coming.

As Zexion, of course.

Hehheh. I know it's gonna be Axel/Roxas day, but maybe there'll be a Demyx there. XD (Of course I'd love to see a little of my birthday pairing, 6/13.)

As far as I know there aren't any Demyx's coming, but WHO KNOWS? Maybe one will appear!

Wait, really? Zexion/Roxas? That's a new one for me, and I thought I had exhausted all of the KH 'ships.

It's emo kid love. XD

With as many characters in Kingdom Hearts as there are, I think it's nearly impossible to exhaust the supply of pairings.

LOL YOU'RE RIGHT. And... yeeeah. 8D

[asaxchan]

I'll go as Kairi =0
I have a Riku and Sora o-o
xD BUT YAOI DISTURBS MEH.

OKAY! Well you don't have to make any, then. 8D We probably won't be doing anything too hardcore anyway... [:

[Auricle]

Is it okay if my sister comes as Pence?

[asaxchan]

xDD!!

[VampireFangs103]

I might be able to come, but I still need to make Axel's Chakrams. x.x Hey omniwarrier, how much will you be charging for you ones you make? >.>

Also, it really depends on where this will be held. Besides, I don't have a Roxas. ;.; I'll be all by my lonesome self. lol

Haha it's alright, I won't have one, either.

[VampireFangs103]

XD Scew Roxas. We can be each other's Axels. lol. jk

[Sayda]

Yeah who needs that punk, anyway.

[mellonemrys]

*cries a little inside* I'm sorry but the only numbers to me are the G-boys and company. T_T (3x4 day much, much better *nods*)

I think if you were talking GW fandom you'd be shipping Noin/Treize eek @_@ that hurts...

Just a question I guess, do any of you know when the O13 number system started showing up online? I'm just curious as a fan I guess.

I'm a little confused about what you mean by 'when it started showing up online.' If I took the question literally, then I'd have to say probably at about the same time that the game was released, because the Org members in-game are referred to by number before you know their identities...

[mellonemrys]

Ah, okay. I'm not much of a KH fan anymore, and haven't had a chance to really play 2.

The Gundam Wing fandom refers to characters by a number system as well and when we started seeing KH stuff referring to characters by numbers we had WTF moment. Its just kinda funny I guess.

Seems like a lot of fandoms do... I've never seen Gundam Wing (only Gundam SEED), but apparently Katekyo Hitman Reborn! does it too? Or one of those K fandoms. Kyou Kara Maou, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!-- they all get mixed up for me. xDD

Kingdom Hearts 2 = vastly superior to KH1, by the way.

[mellonemrys]

The only place that I know it from is GW from when I first got into the fandom, way back in '01 which was during the change over from letters to numbers.

[Auricle]

Hmm. We really need a time of day and place for this.

Did we have any ideas on that? @_@;

[Sayda]

Oh right. Uh.. where's this gonna be at again?

[Auricle]

That's the problem.

There haven't even been any suggestions. D:

[Hashi]

I fail to see how I missed this thread XP but somehow I did..

Anyways! My friends and I have kinda made a not-tradition of this day XD last year we made AkuRoku Paopu Cakes aka cupcakes we decorated with an akuroku theme XD and we were all excited for this year! but alas, due to complications my friend will be in mississppi for it DX

I would love to come to this but sadly I live in Eugene and wouldnt be able to make the commute to anywhere due to work >< So have fun guys! and to the 6/13 shipper, YES! I am not alone.

Oh, right, I cosplay Roxas XP

[Sayda]

Don't worry Hashi, we'll see you at Kumoricon at least!

But uh.. should it be somewhere in Portland? It should be somewhere in the middle for everyone. Portland isn't middle for me, but not many people live where I do, so I usually end up with the short end of the stick. ~ ~

[Auricle]

Yeah, Portland sounds good.

Hopefully somewhere you can get to on the Max train.

I live in Hillsboro, otherwise known as The Hell Mouth.

Where do you live, Sayda?

[Sayda]

I live in Dundee, which is three towns away from Tigard. So, pretty out there.
But Portland isn't hard to get to, it just takes a little while. I drive, so getting there wouldn't be a problem.

[TurboSaiyanJason]

If nearly everyone lives south of Portland, then why not have it at Cook Park in Tigard? Wednesday is perfect for me to come! I only work on weekends. If this is a (camera) shoot and build party, this will be great to work on my Future Trunks...though I have no skit or tournament to work towards anymore.T_T

[Sayda]

But.. Trunks has nothing to do with Axel and Roxas. ~ ~
I guess that's alright, it shouldn't matter. Cooks Park is definitely closer than Portland for me.

[Auricle]

It would take more than two hours to get there. :x

Although, meeting in a smaller city type setting might be preferable.

Also, if this is a cosplay workshop, we would need a place for that, and being in a park would be bad for that. So, either we meet somewhere else, or we meet at the (a?) park and then move somewhere else for the workshop.

Also, what time should we meet up?

[Sayda]

1? I don't mind where it's at, I'm use to driving to Portland for meetups.

[Auricle]

Oh, sorry, I guess I need to clarify my meaning.

'The' refers to Cook Park. 'a?' refers to if we wanted to meet at a different park.

Um...Sorry.

[Darknight2433]

I'm game for coming (not in cosplay though) but to see everyone's awesome costumes!

[asaxchan]

HI EVERYBODY OMIGOD I TTLY SUCK ABOUT REPLYING TO THESE THINGS. I haven't been getting notifications for threads I'm watching asdjklfhaksldf. ;__; orz.

Okay. I live in SW Portland, about ten minutes south of the city. Most of the people who I know for certain are coming live in the general Portland vicinity as well... But I realise that not everyone will, so. What I was thinking is this: Cosplay workshop should happen first, in the morning, and that can be (probably) at my house (depending on how many people intend to come). The photoshoot should happen second, in the afternoon, because afternoon light is vastly superior to morning light in terms of photography, at least generally speaking, and that should be the part that moves around because more people will want to attend the photoshoot than the workshop, imo.

So, because I'm slightly OCD.

ATTN. EVERYONE WHO INTENDS ON ATTENDING THE PHOTOSHOOT: Send me an email with your address and/or general location (whichever is preferable) and I'll map it out and find a place that will work well for everyone. Thank you!

[nikkiolie]

I would be interested in going to work a little on my costumes (none from KH though v.v) what day and time is this for?
