Greetings Everyone,

I want to welcome you to this new Sub Forum. Since the 1970's and 1980's their have been Comic Cons, Star Trek, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and other similar types of cons. At most of those conventions people would wear costumes of their favorite characters. These characters would include Spock, Captain Kirk, Klingons, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Dr Who, Hercules, Xena, Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Captain America, Ironman, and so many others.

At these conventions you could meet the writers and illustrators of USA based DC and Marvel Comic books. Learn about your favorite TV shows and meet the actors and actresses that work their magic to bring them to life. Also your favorite movies would be talked about like Star Wars, Star Trek, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Avengers, and much much more. Just like Cosplay / Anime cons these other cons have Dealers Rooms, panels, and convention events like having special guests do speeches and presentations.

The USA Comic Book World and the Japanese Manga Book Worlds have collided!! Now people at all conventions that are dressed up in Costumes are called Cosplayers. Also you can see at Anime / Cosplay conventions Cosplay characters from USA based TV shows, movies, and other Genre.

It's time to honor and talk about all of these new Cosplayers. In this Sub Forum feel free to talk about Cosplayers and Cosplay Outfits from Genre like Science Fiction, Horror, Fantasy, Disney, DC & Marvel Comics. Just like in the "Anime, Manga, Video Game Discussion" Sub Forum their will be dedicated Official Genre and Series Threads.

You can start threads about Comic Cons in general, the USA based Cosplay World, and how Anime / Cosplay cons have transformed due to the mixing of cultures. Below are some general guidelines to go by:

1. In this Sub Forum please stay on topic. You can compare a Fairy Tail Anime Series character cosplay outfit to a Disney movie character outfit like Elsa from Frozen. Just keep in mind that the focus here is on Cosplays and Cosplay Outfits from series other than Anime, Manga, etc.

2. Feel free to reference a specific Comic Con, Fan Expo, Media Con, etc. Please post info about a specific con on existing threads or start new threads about these types of cons in the United States Regional and International Convention Sub Forums. This way you can see if their are Comic Cons and certainly Anime based cons on the West Coast for instance. Note: This is just a reminder. Everyone has been doing this already. Keep up the good work.

3. When you start a new Thread please check first if their is already a thread started on that topic.

4. Make sure that you follow all of the Guild Rules and Regulations noted on the Main Forum. This includes the Gaia Online TOS.

Have fun talking about your favorite Cosplays, Cosplay Outfits, and Series from the Disney, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Comic Con based Genre and Worlds!!
