So, what are your goals for 2014? New costumes, losing weight, certain conventions?
I actually don't know if I am going to go to any conventions, as I have gone to one large (Sakuracon), one medium (Kumoricon), and will be going to one small (Newcon). If anything, sometimes I cosplay downtown Portland, OR for fun. I'd love to find other people to share that with, but you know how that goes.
I'd also like to drop 10 lbs, but that's not cosplay related. That's just health related.

Probably most of the ones in the Ohio/Tri-state area.
Girlfriend tends to go, and I tend to follow.
Colossalcon is a big one, it's at a waterpark, so got about 6 months to drop some serious weight and figure something out.0 -
I don't think I'll be ready to cosplay this year. But I am thinking about dressing (sweet) Lolita.
2013 was a total bust for me in the convention scene. First time in years that I missed out on Comic-Con.
This year I am planning on attending AnimeConji & if I am lucky SDCC (even just for 1 day!) But for the price of sdcc, I could hop on an Amtrak & go to Anime Expo.
Well, I'll be happy going to anything, lol0 -
Not too sure myself, though I will be updating and perfecting my Space Marine Scout costume and my Umbrella Chris Redfield costume - I hope to create a unique concept costume too based around a future soldier/science fiction/mass effect (basically something I can put twinkly lights in
Not sure which ones to attend in the UK this year but probably the Manchester and Birmingham MCM events. Possibly London MCM and maybe one of the LFCC events too as well as a couple of photoshoots we are organising as part of the Resident Evil UK group at the disused manor we shot at last year.0 -
I am going to Anime Detour in April (a MN convention) and my planned cosplays would be either Haruhi Suzumiya, Yuri Nakamura, and I plan to make a Monkey D. Luffy costume before April. I may have to purchase it though since I'm not crafty and don't think I can put a decent costume together before April 4th.
Weight goal would be to lose 10 pounds before the convention but it's not necessary. I'm about the same weight I was for the convention I went to last year.
I am hoping that they sell some Lolita clothing at this con as I was disappointed by last year.0 -
hitting Dragon Con in Atlanta Aug 2014. I loved it so much last year (our first time) and I think my husband and I will make this an annual thing. So much to do!
Updating some wonder woman costumes this year.0 -
My goal?
I'm getting a suit together for Superior Spiderman in June as well as putting back together my Putty Patrol.
I probably won't have the funds for Anime Boston (spiderman won't be ready) so I am just going to work out and try and stay in shape for a small convention in the summer0 -

That's my goal, too! I want to be in shape enough to go to the water park this year and not be embarrassed!0 -
Well then, lets make this Colossalcon the best one yet!0

I'll be doing crossplays only this year ;3
Planning on doing Ghirahim from Skyward Sword and Damien Ramsey from Magical diary ^^ Both demons.. xD0 -
I'm going to animeNEXT in Somerset, NJ in June with a friend! I'm hoping to cosplay Aoba Seragaki from DRAMAtical Murder and I was going to cosplay Princess Sadie from Princess Princess but she's a larger girl and Aoba is a smaller guy so I'm conflicted haha! I want to lose weight for Aoba so I guess I'm not going as Princess Sadie. I'm hoping to be able to lose 20 pounds by March so I'll be working my a** off!!0

Hitting up KitaCon in Birmingham, UK in March. In the middle of making a Druid Tier 1 (World of Warcraft) costume...it's time to start panicking soon as I'm no where near as ready as I should be lol!!0
-
I'm going to Kitacon too.. in march.. but in Finland xD Silly that they have the same name.
Anyways, I'm going as Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara!

Goal: 108 bl

Must have list: 1. 6 pack;
2. Toned arms and legs;
3. Fix walking posture (no more old-man stand, aka. Beer-gut stand)
That's all.0 -
C2E2, Anime Central, St Louis Comic Con, Anime Midwest, Chicago Comic Con... and who knows if I will make it out to other things? ~crosses fingers~
I was getting really self congratulatory about how all of my costumes this year are easy soft cosplays that will cover up my lumps.... but just because I don't look flabby in a costume doesn't mean I should let myself get super out of shape, so I'm back to trying to maintain healthy habits. Goodbye, long skyrim/cheez-its marathons.0 -
I'm going to Indiana Comic Con, Indy Pop Con, MatsuriCon, and Cincinnati Comic Expo this year, but I'm going to WORK, lol. I run a booth of stuff I make. Whee!
I really want to go to a con just for fun this year, and I was actually looking at ColossalCon! It's the weekend after Indy Pop Con though, so I'm worried I'll be too wore out from that. I think the concept of Colossal is amazing. Even if you get bored with being at the con, there's big friggin water park for you to go to!0 -
Going to anime weekend atlanta and rock out my sailor jupiter cosplay!0
-
WonderCon for sure, working on my Black Canary cosplay and trying to get those arms toned for that. ComicCon is on the list assuming I can nab tickets.
Still debating AnimeExpo even though I live 10 minutes away. I've become less interested in anime over the last couple years and would pretty much only be there for cosplay. Not sure if my budge can afford that at the moment.0 -
Avcon in Adelaide definitely... But I don't know if I'll have the confidence to cosplay yet.. It's in June or July.0
-
Was planning to go to AX as Voldo from Soul Calibur (then I realized I should "tighten up") but an internship is probably going to take its place. Deciding to keep working toward my fitness goal regardless.
I am going to Sakura Con and ECCC as Jubilee, Monad Proxy, and Yoshimitsu0 -
Conneticon for me this year!
no idea who i'm gonna cosplay though. I'd love to make an attack on titan cosplay and already have plans for how to build the 3D maneuver gear, but I'm not sure who I'd be. I'd also really like to get a luka miku cosplay together and drag my sister to the con as the little miku she is XD 0 -
Only cons in my country this year (I'm Dutch, thats holland/ the netherlands) such as AnimeCon, Connichi, Abunai and Elfia.
For some reason I have mostly genderbend costumes planned, Taric and Thresh from League of Legends, Yu Kanda from D-Gray Man, but also have DIana from League of Legends almost finished and want to start on Titania from Fire Emblem at some point.
Plus my biggest project, an OC character I've been working on for close to 3 years and just can't seem to get it done. I set myself a deadline for september this year, selling all parts if I can't get it done by then.0 -

Some of our Dutch friends came over to London last year when we were at MCM Expo as part of a big Resident Evil get together, you may bump into them at your events too

I'll be going to MTAC this year and almost every cosplay I'm doing this year shows some midriff. I REALLY need to bust my butt and shed off some extra weights so I look good with my cosplay partners
I'll be doing female Laharl from Disgaea, Saaya from Suisei no Gargantia (Belly dancer version), and Catherine from Catherine: Love is Over.
Anyone else hittin up MTAC in Nashville, TN?0 -
So I just got back sunday night from Anime Detour and it was so much fun! So I'm now registered for AniMinneapolis as well So in about 7 weeks I'll be cosplaying again. I wish I had more outfits than just Yuri Nakamura now. My haruhi outfit is way too big now and I don't know if i'll be able to put something together before May 23rd... I am going to try though! 0

My first con of the year will be Anime Iowa at the end of July. I will be cosplaying Ali Baba Saluja, Ren Hakuei, and Sam Manson. Sam wears a short skirt and midriff top, and Hakuei is just kind of a sexy costume, so I'm hoping to be in much better shape by AI.0

Honestly I thought about going to Anime Iowa, but they haven't announced their guests, and that's the main reason I go to the conventions

I typically just go for the attendees. A lot of my friends go to AI, and I don't get to see them very often so I figured why not lol. I don't usually attend a lot of panels, so guests don't really sway my decision too much

This year, I'll be at Otakon as Tharja from Fire Emblem Awakening and Headhunter Nidalee from LoL...that's if I finish these costumes. i've been working hard on both costumes and body toning between college and work these past few months, so I'm hoping I can make my deadline!0
-
I'll be at Wizard World Philly, Otakon, and hopefully magfest. I only plan on cosplaying at Otakon and if all goes well I'll be going as Corvo from Dishonored.0
