Ever had any moments of "e-fame?"

Seeing yourself posted/talked about, someone going "hey, I recognize you from online!" etc.

The more minor and ridiculous, the better.

>> No.6629066

not cosplay related, but from time to time on the old /soc/ i saw a couple reposts of my pics asking for the source. similar thing happened on /d/ with some drawings.

maybe not the most glamorous places to be recognized, but it is still a nice feeling :)

Had a tumblr pic that broke the 10k mark for notes and shares and I've gotten spotted at other cons because of it.

Then there's the whole Hiimdaisy thing but you guys already know that.

I post sometimes on here, but usually just body shots and one time I posted my face and an anon recognized me from previous photos and said they enjoyed my pictures/style.

for some reason Chinese exchange students are in love with me. they take pictures of me and post them on weixin, and they somehow found out my name and found my tumblr. one came up to me shaking and stuttering asking me for my number.

nothing online really, my cosplays get posted here sometimes and it's nice.

>> No.6629119

I've gotten noticed a couple of times from posting progress shots on here. The people usually end up wicked cool, so that's always a special plus.

>> No.6629125

Several of my photos are really popular on 2chan. I get posted rather often in "post high level cosplay" threads. These same outfits aren't all that popular in my own country, so I doubt /cgl/ would believe me.

/cgl/ was looking for me after I was at a big lolita meetup. "who was Sandwich Guy?" "I'm gonna creep on group shots and see if he's there."

I also got recognized once from my one second in Shit Lolitas Say.

Few times by people at work that I didn't even know.

"did you know you're on the internet?" is the most heard one.

I remember that. Made me crack up! "Hot sandwich guy" was pretty popular in a couple of the comm threads.

It's happened a few times, but I think the most notable was when I was standing in line for an autograph session for a band in Little Tokyo, and a woman (late 20s, early 30s?) came up and asked for my photo. It wasn't the first time that day, so I happily obliged and posed for her.
A few months later, I was googling my lj name out of curiosity and came across a blog - run by this woman, with my photo posted and saying who I was (my lj name).

I don't know why she didn't tell me she recognized me in the first place.....

Oh god, I was getting talked about there too? That's funny. All that "hot guy" talk was great for my ego, but I'm pretty sure most of it was because I was the only person who brought some protein.

Last month I went to the mall in lolita.
It was suprisingly quiet and I tried my hardest to look good.

This guy came up to me and said "sorry if this seems weird, but I love your blog, one of my friends follows you and she just won the kawaii international contest"

at cons, I carry around little handmade keychains to give away to anyone that recognizes me. Its fun for anyone.
I even gave out a sweets decoden mirror once.

>tfw you get posted in a sexy cosplay thread

I like to think people saying "fap fap fap" is just a crude way of complimenting, rather than them actually whipping it out and jerking off

>> No.6629650

I've done the opposite. Made a new friend, she invited me to a Halloween party, and the Morning Rescue cosplayer was there. So I had a fangirl moment and took a pic with him and a pic of him.

May have been awkward for him, but I was just really excited since I missed him at Anime North.

A girl I made a personal (read: adult) voice recording for reposted it on /soc/ and I got pretty pissed at her and stopped talking to her. Other than that? Nah, I'm nobody.

Someone at a con last year poked me on my shoulder, so I turned around. There was this super tall girl, staring down at me: ''Hey you're Anon on Deviantart right?''

That surprised me a lot, considering I'm not even close to being known/popular or anything.

Last weekend, I was at another con. Someone came up to me: ''Excuse me, you're Anon right?'' When I asked him how he recognized me, he said it was my hat. I got that hat two days before that.. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or slightly scared.

Still, it was pretty neat people recognized me!

In middle school I was fairly proficient at drawing cookie-cutter anime stuff, and I became good friends with my art teacher who also liked anime. We kept in contact over IM throughout the years and I would send her stuff as I improved and she would keep a little profile for me and give me advice. She went to a few conventions with me and said she liked to tell stories about me to her huge family because I was "quirky". Lately, she's been busy, so we haven't talked.

Today, at a job interview which is very important to me, one of the older men interviewing me squinted at my name on his notes sheet for a long time and finally piped up with, "Hey, are you that girl my wife talks about? The one who really likes animes (pronounced ah-neehms) and likes to play dress up?"

The interview itself went super well, but the whole time he was giving me the kind of smile tired teachers give to mentally handicapped kids.

I'm a different anon from >>6629763 but yeah, basically that. I knew him for a few years, he was a total slimeball who would pretend to be a decent guy to try and cajole you into being his underaged internet waifu because no-one would love him in real life. Turns out he's not nice, just an obnoxious opinionated asshole and a total pathetic letch.
