Being a cosplayer is one of the greatest things you can call yourself. It gives you a sense of belonging to a group that is fun and creative and imaginative.

I only go to one convention a year and I spend all year planning and preparing for the cosplay that I choose the year before. I only do it for fun, but knowing all the work I put into the costumes and the fun I have making props with my friends, makes those 3 days of actually wearing the costume the best of the year.
