First-time cosplayer? Experienced costumer? Here's your chance to compare notes, ask for advice, look for inspiration and talk about the awesome fun that is dressing up as your favourite characters.

Use this post to discuss anything and everything cosplay-related, whether that's sharing resources, planning group cosplay, arranging meetups or just squeeing about your plans.

PS: have you seen our Costuming track?

Are there... any Les Mis fans going? I saw photos of an amazing Amis de l'ABC group cosplay at London Expo. Just sayin'. Should be a thing...

Ooh I'm an admin of this! Blimey. In other news, I have *no idea* what I'm wearing. I should get on that sometime.

Same... I might be really boring and wear jeans and t-shirts because I don't know if I have the brain to plan cosplay on top of programming :/

Maybe there's something super-easy we could do?

Someone was talking about chaos costuming a few months back - a collection of costume stuff and accessories people could borrow from. I have no idea if anything came of it.

I am considering cosplaying as Nimona, if I can find time to get a costume together!

I'm coming as part of a Pony Posse - Sweet Loli-inspired Pinkie Pie, preppy male Twilight Sparkle, 60s couture Rarity, 70s Roller Disco Rainbow Dash. We're still looking for a Fluttershy and an Applejack if people feel inspired !
