Looking for a few good videogam[ing/er] costum[er/ing] folk.

[kproche]

I haven't done much in the way of videogaming for years (truth: I remember the Magnavox Odyssey, and Pong, and played lots of Atari 2600 games at my godparents' house), nor costumed from them.

I do, however, write for a costuming magazine (YIPE! if you've somehow missed that fact over the last 3 years) and am working on a feature about video game costumes and/or costuming at videogame events.

Anyone out there in LJ-land have something (photos, anecdotes, tales of excitement and wonder -- or woe and misery) to share? Deadlines are looming [cue ominous 8-bit music]

Added it all

I included everything I could think of. The stories are way too long, so I'll leave the editting to you.

They aren't going to need a lot, just a bit of tightening up some link narrative from me, so I want to give you an author credit. What do you want for your byline (real name or handle) and do you have a headshot we can use?

Really?

I was almost certain they'd need massive editting. o_O;;; Thanks for the great compliment to my ego! ^^

I'm at school right now, so I'll upload a headshot to the file for you when I get home (I have TONS, so no problem there). I've never gone by my handle during competitions, but I wouldn't mind both being printed (actually, I'd love it if costuming peeps knew both). Sort of a "C****** R**** aka Killpurakat" thing. Or is that too much?

I can absolutely do that. We can even include a link that points readers to the blog/website of your choice!

Yippee!

Actually, just the name should be enough (people can Google it if they really want to). My LJ is very random, and I don't update enough on DA to really consider that a good website to link to. Maybe in the future when I submit something else.

I'm just excited that I get to use my real name and handle. :)

BTW, headshot is posted in that folder/box thing for you to download.

... I need a hugging icon...
