could someone take the time to explain what cosplay and epicon are and what the heck i need to be doing??? wasnt active this time last year??? profile comment or smail is fine.
The description box should have a better format for text, I might have to re-do what I wrote because the box mashes it all into a huge paragraph which is not what I was going for...
Coming up with a cosplay that I liked was pretty hard for me.:O Since this is my first Epicon, I decided to enter for fun. Hopefully and ok-ish number of people are aware of the show my HA was based from.
so, 23h later & nothing new to do. Joy!!!
Very pleased to know that CW is separate. So people with the CW items that were MADE as cosplay won't be competing with those who have to work with regular Subeta wearables. :) Hopefully the setup for judging will be better than last Epicon though! (And more variety in the winners. XD)

enjoys being sinbad
Do we need to wear our cosplay after we signed in? Will our entry change if we change our HA after we entered?
I'm pretty psyched for this. Spent hours making my ha presentable...
I didn't know if I'd have time to do an HA, but... success! :D
is prepared
Finally got my wardrobe to save and managed to enter! Hurrah!
Oh, darn. I should've worked harder for more sP. I'll do my best and try to enter though!
can we only enter this contest right now? or do the atrium and floor exist yet?
i'll probably dress as a pony
Yay! Finally! I can't wait to see the other cosplays!
YAAAY. It's started! 8D
Cosplaying as my latest OC, I got her set up and then I saw the cosplay contest, so why not? (if OCs are allowed!)
I have a question... Are we allowed to cosplay as characters from webcomics?
Successfully entered the non-CW category! :D
Whoo! Took a bunch of sp and lots of fiddling but I'm very happy with my cosplay! Can't wait to see all the others!! :D
@Xen

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried it and it didn't work. I guess I just don't get to do this event o well! Good luck everyone! :D
I was entered into the CW Pool since I was wearing one CW rofl.
I'm gonna get schooled by CW-clad HAs though.

For those having wardrobe issues, if you sign in with enhanced cookie security, try logging out and logging back in with that feature disabled.
There's no way I'll get any votes, but I entered the Non-CW pool anyweay ;)
What is this all about?
You were placed in the Non-CW pool!
:)
Would love to enter but my wardrobe never loads. o well I guess.
Entered just for fun after finally finding a good reference pic (though it's of a figurine of the character XD). This was fun to do! :D
signed up :) though not sure anyone will think mine looks like the actual character...but still a little fun to do. ;) I guess I need more practice
Okay, let's get you signed up, shall we? Just step this way... smile for the camera... 3, 2, 1, cheese! All done!

You were placed in the Non-CW pool!

Exxxxcellent. >:u /shuffles away dragging big-arse sword.
where is the convention held at??
First time with this :3 I entered in just for the fun of it ^/^
Got my Attack on Titan cosplay in the non-CW bracket. I think I did decent on what I had in my wardrobe on the top of the head idea.
Eh, I entered my T-Boz cosplay. I really hope the whole voting system has changed or I'm going to be annoyed.
CAN I JUST SAY.....THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR LETTING US ENTER CWS IN ANOTHER SECTION OMG. ♥️
Ooooh yey, I like this! submits Calvin
Hm, what could I possibly do that I could use this experiment skin with...
Tribunal, I think it's very fair that they have a separate contest for people using CWs. Otherwise, some badass CW-toting HA owned by someone very wealthy would sweep the entire contest, I think.
I just signed up. :D
I tried logging in and out and it didn't work for me, thank you for the suggestion though.
Ugh, I'm tempted to submit mine, but I've still got my zombie skin. Ah well, props to anyone who notices who I am ;D
8=8
Fun, fun :3 For everyone having wardrobe problems, try logging out and logging back in. Worked for me, really hope it works for you! Can't wait to see all the beautiful people. ^_^
Can't think of ANYthing, darn.
Can we do something about backspacing on the contest page? I lost a large chunk of Description & Inspiration because my 'reference image' was not in the proper format, which the page itself fails to say what it should be before hand, jpg is my default. Thank You.
All done with mine, no one will recognize it though :P
So glad we can use CWs........ I just wish my wardrobe worked:(
Sad there is a CW contest. Hope they have the same prizes at least.
I entered just for fun ^_^.
cw pool and non-cw pool. smart move.
Submitted mine! :)
Clover Adams is really cute!
My ref photo isnt showing up either meh IDK what to do. I am Jill Valentine
Having the same problem as @Wolfmyth.
Yup, wardrobe is not working here either ;/
I still need to figure out my cosplay but I don't want to rush. Gah so excited! goes to make up her mind
all these HAs are so pretty! looking at everyone's in the comments
Yay! Hoping to get my right jacket wearable in time, but if not gonna submit mine in the next few days!
I've changed my HA but the image of the HA for submission is my old one
SUBMITTED WHOO
Just noticed the page in the EPICon Center has been updated so that´s a plus.
Sounds great but my wardrobe is still not working so... =/
Will the trophy this year be different or upgraded for those returning?
I love the cosplay contests! Seeing what other people come up with is fun c:
Well, gee, wouldn't it be nice if my wardrobe actually worked so I could make an HA. But I suppose it wouldn't be a Subeta event without broken stuff. /sigh
entered as a Nathan Drake cosplay. We'll see where this goes. It's my first time entering.
Ooh, this is going to be a decent-length contest if we have a week just to submit cosplays for the contest. :)
@ Darling
Ok thank you
I have entered and managed to create a non cw one :)
If people are getting errors for PNGs, changing mine to a gif and taking out the underscores worked for me.
rubs forehead Image's small to start with, converted to both gif and png and tried submitting both...

Still WON'T SHOW UP.
if only I could change my HA...
Still can't wait to see what else will come.
I love that there's a non-CW and CW cosplay! That lets us who don't wanna use CW's not have to compete with those that do!
Yay all joined up!
@ren
thanks =)
Mel
Okay, let's get you signed up, shall we? Just step this way... smile for the camera... 3, 2, 1, cheese! All done!

You were placed in the Non-CW pool!

whoot!
Yayyy got entered into the non cw pool.:)
ren
@anata
yes, if you take back your submission, you can enter again. i did it because i messed up my reference image the first time.
spawns large cannon out of arm and shoots laptop STILL NOT SHOWING SUBMITTED REFERENCE IMAGE.
I'm in! :)
I keep getting "Error processing your registration, please tell someone!"
=/
Does this mean I should submit a ticket or..?????
It's finally working, I'm in!
What happens when you click Unregister? Can we submit again?
Subeta uploaded my HA wrong, one item was missing but i refreshed a few times to check if it is there while submitting.
Error processing your registration, please tell someone!
I wonder what could be causing this. :/
Maybe it's the reference image?
Submitted, but it keeps refusing to let me submit the reference image. It's the right image format (gif) and it doesn't pop up any errors or anything, but it simply won't show up!
@Darling
I can? That's cool, then I guess I'll give it a try, just for the fun of it. Awesome, even though I don't think I stand any chance :D
@Kushiel
You can, and should, cosplay anything you desire. Book, comic, movie, show, internet meme, and even an original character ! In real life I have seen amazing versions of ALL of these running around. On a site like this/a contest, it's simply more common (and easier for a reference image), for somebody to cosplay a movie, show, or comic book character. But that really is not the limit.
@shadowstalker You shouldn't need to download your avatar; the file upload is for a reference image for the character you're cosplaying as, if that's what you're referring to!
@Reaper (and everyone else asking) You're only able to enter once, sorry!
@Evy The deadline is the 26th!
@Kushiel You can absolutely cosplay as a book character if you'd like to!
@Dunedainsith I'm submited

And you can only submit one avatar

@shadowstalker The upload is for a reference image!
Wooo!!!! Can't wait to figure out what I'm gonna do. Just gotta cover up this darn morostide and zombie stuff first... :/
Do i download my avatar? would it not already be there if i just fill in the description then post? HUH?
Am I the only one who got successfully entered?
Several people have already asked, but since it hasn't been answered yet, I'll ask again - can we enter more than one HA (like, one no-CWs entry and one entry with CWs since they're separated into two categories)?
Are they goin g to get the wardrobe issues fixed so all of us can participate??
Thank you for doing separate categories! :heart:
this is my first epicon!!!!
i just entered and I cant wait to see what everyone comes up with
The contest page needs a lot more information added to it...like can we enter more than one avatar? Can we enter both categories?
ren
I'm really glad my avatar won't be put up against those with CW's, so thanks for that.
Entered!!!! Can we enter more than one?
Oh, awesome that there's two categories!
The EPICon Building is exactly as it has been sine the end of the last Restock War. Might it not be a good idea to change the page!!!!! Also unless the usual glitches on the site every time there is a new event are taken care of nothing is going to be very entertaining.
Errors, errors, and more errors. Hopefully this'll get fixed soon :(
how does one get to the building? when i go to EpiCON i just see the RS war from last time.
Thanks for having separate categories! I know that definitely pleases a lot of people. I'm a bit sad I can't enter both, though. :P
Error processing your registration, please tell someone!
Two categories ?
Ah well, all of my possible HA's lack CW's and I am fine with that (even though my SPN Baby background would have been amazing to use...)
yay can't wait to see all the entries!!
I got an error too....?
Thank you for making 2 categories! I hope everyone is happy now. :)
Registered! Hopefully people recognize me... I dunno if there will be more Epicons, but if it is, my thing will be cult classics or old series that more people need to read. :)
I'm in cosplay but not what I want to enter ...OH wardrobe please work soon!
Rox
Woohoo, entered myself :)
Evy
What's the deadline for submissions?
Yawn, boring. But looking forward to other activities.
Seriously? You guys started it without fixing the wardrobe first? Not cool.
this si good, but what deadline do we have to enter ? And what about the wardrobe ? Will it be fixed by then ? Everyone ought to have a fair chance at entering.

Also I am SO PLEASED SO SO PLEASED that there is a CW/NON CW split. This is EXCELLENT.
If you wardrobe does not work, clear your browsing history and cache. It worked for me and many others.
Quote:
Note: Please note that there are two categories: CW and non-CW. If your avatar is wearing any Custom Wearable, you will be automatically sorted to the CW pool.
that is so awesome of you, staff! :heart:
I wont enter with my Jaenelle Cosplay, cause it's just a book and no Game/movie, but I'll be excited to see the entries :3
Seems like CW's are allowed since there is no notice
I couldn't get my wardrobe to work. I did a cache/cookies clear just for kicks and giggles (done one not long ago and it didn't seem to help) and...well, now I'm in! You all may want to try it for the sake of it. :)
and what about using CWs?!?! Can they be used?
oooh yay!!!!
well I submitted, now to wait for whatever is coming next...
I can't wait to see what kind of cosplays will be entered this year.
Tried to enter and it gave me an error...
Hahaha, now if only my Wardrobe would agree with that. :heart:
I sat around & waited to play Mr. Dressup?!?!
SCREECHES EXCITEDLY
This is only kind of valid if the wardrobes actually load and work, no?
I won't enter, but I am excited to see everyone else's entry!
WOOHOO! I can't wait to submit when the wardrobe starts working and I can change my outfit! :)
Oh what fun!
