For con lists, check out http://www.fansview.com

I might cosplay if I do go, part of the time at least. Something simple, as I'd just look stupid having too much attention drawn to me. And I need several months to work up something involved.

So, maybe. Hope to. I've only made cosplay costumes for other people and done Halloween stuff before; I've never gone to a con suited up myself.

Sorry for the double-post, but I have a really stupid question. This would be my first time cosplaying anywhere. Do you HAVE to enter either of the competitions, or can you just go for the heck of it? I'd be doing something so simple that it's not really even worth the hall judges' time. But I thought it would be fun, so.

Yes/no/maybe? I didn't see anything about that on the con's site.

Oh god no, you don't have to enter any contests. Only like 0.1% of the people who cosplay enter any kind of costume contest or anything.

Most of the people who cosplay are only dressed up for fun of it.

Well, the numbers I gave you (0.1%) is out of the entire membership of Otakon.

So yeah, out of 12,000 people, only about 120 will enter any contest type stuff. That includes the costume contests and the masquerade together.

So dress up and have fun.
