misc. fandom stuff

1) I want to run a panel at Y-con this year.

I'm thinking what might be cool -- a panel on the differences between canon yaoi and inferred yaoi. Y'know, there are shows where the ghey is actually in the show, but the really popular fandoms seem to be the one where there's no outright ghei, and it's all put in there by the fans. Why is that? Discuss.

I think I could run a panel without much problem. Better at Y-con than some place like, say, Otakon, where there are sixty zillion people. Y-con is much more of a family atmosphere. (By which I mean, community, not little-kids family.) Whenever I go to panels at Y-con I end up talking almost as much as the panelist anyway. >_>;

I guess you have to apply... and stuff. Maybe the webiste would tell me more if it wasn't down.

2) I wanna cosplay Mosp from Sluggy Freelance at Otakon next year (or AX, if I don't go to Otakon.)

I seriously do. Unfortunately this will be very complicated and difficult. Why? Because Mosp is a giant snake-woman with snakes for hair. X_x I do not think my limited tailoring skills are up to this.

3) I have all this stuff and I want to distribute it places like MLs and LJ comms because I am a comment whore. unfortunately, I don't want to totally spam people and I can't think straight to coordinate it. *is scatterbrained*

Hmmmm.... well, the scales could be done with fabric paint, I'm sure. Perhaps metallic? Tail... stuffing and wire? I can see limited mobility being a problem any way you go, though. Hmph. You might have to have a horizontal slit in the skirt-thingie to let your feet through enough to shuffle around, though be able to retract them when you want to pose for pictures?

The hair might not be as problematic as you may think, if you treat it more as a helmet instead of hair... ;) The stuffing-and-wire idea might work for that, too, and then you could even re-pose your snakes whenever you felt like it.

... ehhehheh. Listen to me sound like I know what I'm talking about. Sorry.

Actually, these sound like cool ideas. :D It's just that it would basically be a handicraft project, rather than simply assembling the right articles of clothing -- and I am terrible at handicrafts.

I was thinking that it would basically be a dress with the tail for the train, and open below the knees. So if I wanted to pose for pictures, I could just get on my knees. :)
