Posted in wrong thread so reposting again fuck sorry everyone.

Is anyone coming to AN from the states?
I really need a few accessories for my phone (a cable and a charging bank) that's only available on the US shop.
Shipping to you is 3-7 days.
I can pay you the appropriate amount via paypal or pay you with cash at AN. I can also just pay online to the shop by myself and ship to your address but this kind of requires a lot of trust on my part so...
Can also pay you an extra shopping service fee.

I went to one of the "Ask a Gay Man" yaoi ones with my yaoi-loving friend. It was weird. One of the "gay" men was a middle-aged married "straight" man who said he loved yaoi and slash more than straight stuff because "the love a man has for another man is so much more special", "the way a man looks at a man he loves sends shivers up my spine" and so on. He was so deep in denial that he's probably finding ankhs and scarabs up his ass. It was very awkward. I just felt so bad for his wife every time he opened his mouth.

Unfortunately there was a point last year where the laughter turned into groans of disgust. We aim to entertain, and we moved on to a different story at that point. It doesn't stop us from using terribly written smut, though! Just ones that are more 'what the fuck am I reading' instead of 'this is highly disturbing and I want to barf'. I think this year we have a story on the list where the Giant Squid has naughty tentacle sex with Hogwarts. Yep.

Well, I say too bad.

If you want to truly preview the worst that fanfiction has to offer, you have to get into the very bottom of the barrel - and that includes disturbing stories involving topics which may make the babies in the audience uncomfortable.

Otherwise, people like me are not shocked. It's no longer awful, just bad.

People should know what to expect by going to an 18+ awful fanfiction panel. They must have the Internet. They know this stuff exists. If you can't take the heat, get out of the oven.

This is a really fucking stupid question, but how do the photoshoots work? This is my 4th year going and I'm finally going to attend one for the first time. idk if this part matters, but i'll be attending it in cosplay for the apropriate series. Does it just depend on who's hosting it? Is there like...specific...protocol or whatever?

>> No.8319147

>>8319127
No real 'protocol' other than being on time if you wanna for sure be in every part of the shoot that you can. In the AN handbook that you get at the start of the con (And online I think?) theres a photoshoot schedule. Show up to whatever shoot you want whether you want to be in it or taking photos of the cosplayers in it. Its not terribly formal. Just fun. A host is responsible for each shoot, they may have a co-host depending on the size of the shoot. They'll call out a character name or type of character (Think, 'students', 'girls', '[insert family name here]') or ship (ex. madoka and homura!) and the cosplayers will move to the front and pose, there is a brief window of time for photos to be taken and then they move on to the next character. Shoots usually take from a half hour to an hour and a half. What series photoshoot were you going to, anon?

>>8319164
No problem, anon!
Dont be worried. You'll have lots of fun. Try to bring a friend along to get some photos of you, sometimes its harder to find them online depending on the series/shoot size. Even if you dont hang around the other photoshoots for long, popping into them for a few minutes to get a few shots is a good idea! They're pretty loose, so if you get bored or need to leave you can just kinda mosey away. They are genuinely fun though. Sometimes the smaller shoots splinter off into meetups. Have fun !! :)

The face looks nothing like yours anymore. Jawlines are a big part of what makes someone recognizable as themselves. I can't even recognize half the people in Novii's photos because they all have V-line animu jawlines and not the faces I actually know. Don't fall into that.

Besides, people will bash you to no end for "looking okay in photos but shit irl" etc. if you keep that up.

>> No.8321968

>>8321939
But why do they have to be recognizable? It's a fictional character who doesn't look like me, so what's the big deal if I don't look exactly the same in real life? I didn't give myself anime proportions or a pointy jaw, I just made it slimmer. I don't look like an anime character and when I get a nice photo taken, I don't want to look like myself, and it's not my problem if someone can't recognize me either.
As for my clients, I'm working on toning it down for their sake, but the majority like the work I do on them

That $20,000 would make a world of difference to some animal rescue charities where all the money to keep the animals under a roof and healthy come out of one person's pocket, and they don't receive any funding and very few donations because no one's heard of them.

On the other hand, $20,000 does not even pay one month's salary for a doctor at Sick Kids.
It's all about AN staff patting themselves on the back because the donation really doesn't pay for much of anything in the long run.

My first year at AN we had 6 girls in one double tree room. Got real cozy with a girl I'd know all of 2 hours, but had a great time. room was kept clean, no ones shit got wrecked or stolen, and all 6 of us were cosplaying every day. I was well looked after, babbys first con was successful. 7 years later I'm still doing this shit.

My worst experience was a couple years back when I booked two adjoining rooms at the Marriott. Some rather ballsy 'friends' of mine at the time who were in one room, kept coming over to the other room to use the mirror, then leaving their shit everywhere, nabbing snacks out of one rooms cooler instead of theirs... That was the last time I ever spent any extended periods of time with that pair.

Just about every con I go to, I'm in a room with more people than are supposed to be in there. And for the most part, it's works out well. I hit a good number of cons in Ontario and the US, but any issues I've had have been fairly minor.

Sick Kids is rich already and there is no danger of children dying there.

AN's contribution is like a drop of piss in a river since IT DOESN'T EVEN COVER A DOCTOR'S SALARY FOR ONE MONTH. It makes very little difference.

If you're concerned about dying children, there are small charities for children with cancer that no one gives a shit about. How about charities for children born with diseases that will reduce their life-expectancy? How about children that are starving in Toronto or in third-world shit holes?

Just because Sick Kids saved your life doesn't mean they're not already a rich hospital.

Way to take it out of context. If children die there, it's not because of lack of funds. It's because these things are left up to fate sometimes.

Meanwhile, there are other hospitals which can't afford good equipment or doctors where people die everyday. But nope. Gotta give to an already-rich hospital instead because people have emotional attachment to them for saving their life or that of someone they know. And Sick Kids is THE ONLY CHARITY which saves children's lives, guiz.

If you're going to argue with me, at least try to address the points that I'm making instead of just saying "fuck you! They saved my life!" or "omg you must like seeing kids die!!!111". Doing that makes you look like a tumblr-level idiot. Even if you guys supposedly hate tumblr, you use the same kind of leaps in logic, arguments based on emotion, and insults that they do.

Holy shit. I finished looking through the panels this year. I can't believe how many things that not only don't cater to my interests, but rather make me completely shocked and appalled. A good portion of these panels are all for LGBT crowd. I can't believe how dominant it is, its like the attendees are nothing but a massive congregation of sexually frustrated youths that they need a convention to cater to their fetishes.

Most of the LGBT panels are at Yaoi North.

And really? You're shocked that anime cons are full of sexually frustrated youth? It's always been that way. Well, at least since the majority age changed from 21-30 to 13-22. I remember Naruto cosplayers dry-humping at their photoshoot and awkward pimple-faced weebaboo girls screaming about yaoi in 2006. Nothing has changed.

My character wears a pleated skirt as part of her school uniform, but because I didn't get enough fabric and because budget, the person I commissioned and I had to settle with a flat one. Otherwise, I would have been charged another $130 for the fabric and the work. Will anyone really care, anon? Did I just commit a horrible sin? Am I going to Hell?

If you cared enough to find the right colour, you're already doing better than most of the people out there who just grab something vaguely similar and toss it on. The hordes of 16 year olds aren't going to give a shit, anyone on here likely isn't going to put you up on a board because there's way worse cosplay sins being committed all over AN.

You can always improve your cosplay later, anyway. It's not like this is Ontario's only con. You'll be fine, you're likely to be the only one to really think badly of your skirt, and you're at least at a good starting point if you want to improve the cosplay later.

Is it possible to get the fabric, get the basic start of the skirt, and then take it to a tailor? The most I've paid for them to alter and put in knife pleats on a skirt was like 25 dollars because they have a machine that can do that.

The fabric will still cost a lot, though. The person I commissioned estimated about $40-$60 to get enough of a decent material. The only person I know who can sew would say it's "too last minute" and "it's not a big deal, and you should just be happy with what you have already".

Here's the thing, though - AN panels have a certain amount of slots for topics that fall outside of anime/manga, gaming, cosplay, lolita, jfash, Japan/weeb fandom in general etc. Yaoi North and Doll North are run separately so they have their own set of LGBTQ and doll-related topics every year.

Other unrelated panels:
- MLP panel
- MLP customs panel
- "Care and Feeding of your MLP collection" panel
- Creepypasta panel
- Korrasami panel
- Steven Universe panel
- Game of Thrones/ASOIAF panel
- Once Upon a Time panel
- RWBY panel
- Evolution of Western Animation panel (debatable relevance)
- Climate change panel (what?)

I was just saying that with the panel signup process, they're run separately from the main panels department (as is anything with "____ North" as a name). I meant to say that their panels are all relevant to anime/Japan by default, but have a lot of breadth to cover different aspects of their main topics. Sorry for not being very clear.

Also, where's the Shibari panel? I'm sad that it doesn't seem to be included this year. I was hoping to learn more about techniques in that kind of environment since I'm not really comfortable going to local kink events.
