yes! we may like to spread to other platforms for those without an Etsy shop. it might be nice to have a shared blog to repost updates from our individual blogs, or a Facebook group for whoever would not mind to be known as a seagull.

shops involved include:

GhastlyGear (me). started because nobody had interesting masculine gothic shit for sale at local cons. branched out from there. i make (resincast or assemble) a range of accessories in different styles but gothic & ouji/lolita are my core demographics. my shop is mostly old stuff right now (pic related). message me if you would like to be added to the GALA Etsy team.

others (copy+paste these names plus .etsy.com to get to their shops):

ImaginaryTailoring
JellyUltra
CosWorks
SquidhouseDesigns
hexengarten
TwoDaysSlowShop
DreamCathedral

a couple of us are tabling together for an upcoming con in our area. we will probably post about it in a relevant thread.

i give seagulls freebies and/or discounts. made a coupon for Secret Santa giftees that you all can use: SANTAGULL2017, 10% off that is good until Christmas this year. i also do 6% off for June ILD and 12% off for December ILD. i have no idea if these stack but you can try when the time comes

non-GALA indie brands that have not been mentioned yet that are cool:

>Ikemen Mode
American Ouji brand. i have a jabot from them; it was worth the price. their long gilets also fit over petticoats (saw a lolita try one on). if you follow Life's Sweet Essentials blog, this is her brand with "Grandpa Ouji"

>Martha Rotten
unique metal jewelry in natural/macabre styles. hand-casts like Voodooodolly so often pricey.

>Moss Marchen
mix of assembled jewelry and handcrafted accessories. branching into enamel pins

>Hysteria Machine
crazy detailed OTT gothic things. some of their stuff is hand-cast. basic components seem to be purchased but altered/assembled in crazy unique ways.
