DerLustmorder | Yesterday I was helping Adam with our new Cosplay site. Mostly it was just about testing the system we have in place and so on. Everything has come along very well, it's a nice piece of work.
I really know nothing about cosplay personally, except that it's pretty popular among anime fans - especially older fans who tend to make a big deal about it at conventions. Of course, there's a darker side to cosplay (ie: Man Faye), but I must admit that I've seen some extraordinary creativity in the field.
From the little I know, cosplay sites tend to only allow a very limited number of pictures. My understanding is that theOtaku.com: Cosplay will offer something like six pictures per gallery (with as many galleries as you like). It's also my understanding that there will be no approval process - all cosplayers will be able to upload their work and see immediate results.
Of course, it will still require strong moderation. But from what I've seen so far, it looks like a compelling addition to the network. Hopefully the keen cosplayers out there will use theOtaku.com: Cosplay as an introduction to the rest of our network.
In other news, I want to thank Tony for making a bunch of Manson stuff available to me. As I mentioned on AIM, it'll help me to decide what I'm going to buy first.
Also, for those who don't know, Annie has moved to a new location. I just thought I'd give her a little plug. ~_^
