/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I have an awful lot to confess.

I've never sent anonhate, but I'm ever so tempted to let this one local cosplayer know everything she does is quantity over quality. It likely wouldn't even take her down a notch.

I cosplay characters that people often headcanon as chubby because i'm terrified to end up on Homestuckgeneral being called fat. I'm not obese by any means. I'm terribly short and chesty, and prefer to cosplay male characters, but I always bind and do my best to pose in ways that don't accentuate the fact that I'm simply not thin.

More often than not, i prefer to hang in the background or be the group photographer. I get stupidly frustrated when people ask other, less skilled people to take pictures when I'm fully willing to give them a quick shoot, but too scared to actually speak up and offer most days.
I never charge my homestucks for quick shoots because for the most part they're sweethearts to me. But recently I had someone send me messages telling me to not list myself as a photographer if I make no profit from the photos. It really made me doubt whether I wanted to continue taking and posting everyone's pictures. Do I start charging?
