Helloooooooo Internet! I realize I haven't updated since... before ACen? As you may have noticed, I haven't really been as active on here as I used to. This is for a variety of reasons, but some of it has to do with the fact that I post most of my pictures on my new Facebook page ( www.facebook.com/FlamingGoddes… ) and my Tumblr ( missfirestarter.tumblr.com ). If you really want to see my updates, I'd suggest following me on there as opposed to here. I'm still getting used to posting regularly on Facebook, but hopefully I'll be more active from now on. I'm also trying to get into vlogging, but I haven't been very successful. If y'all have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.   

I've gone to a few cons in the past couple months, but here's a mini run-down:
ACen - I wore Mami a lot and worked at the Daisuki booth, which was pretty fun (aside from my boots being rather painful after multiple hours). Luckily I also finished Asahina Aoi from Dangan Ronpa, which was all kinds of comfy. I did a shoot with some lovely people, and hung out a lot. 

Colossalcon - You know how whenever someone asks me to cosplay Yoko, I said I'd never do it? I kind of lied. SkylitEyed, the person who I'd originally promised in the first place, asked me to be the Yoko to her Nia at Colossalcon, and how could I refuse? I didn't get to be at the con as much as I'd hoped due to a variety of things, but I had a lot of fun despite some unfortunate circumstances. 

Otakon - This was probably my favorite con that I went to this season, because as usual I got to hang out with friends I don't normally get to see and the con itself is wonderful. I even got to see Yoko Kanno in concert, which was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I made Starfire from Teen Titans to go with SkylitEyed's Raven and Tara's Terra, and we had so much fun. I also finished Yoko's rifle for this convention, which I'm hopefully remaking for next summer because it was WAY too heavy due to the materials I used. 

Matsuricon - I didn't really go to this one very much aside from bringing Rei out of pseudo-retirement for a full Highschool of the Dead shoot, which was amazing. I was supposed to get more pictures of Starfire with my Raven, but we ended up going to Steak 'n Shake instead.

And finally there's Youmacon. I'm actually trying to put together a video for this one, so keep your eyes peeled! Needless to say I had a lot of fun. I'm trying to keep this journal shorter than most of my previous ones, but there ya go! As far as my con schedule goes, Ohayocon is next on the list. If you're going, yell at me!

Au revoir, Internet!

A whole bunch of stuff's been going on!

First off, I just wanted to thank all of y'all for the votes in the Arda contest. I ended up being on the top of the second page, and considering there were over 90 entries I felt pretty special! I don't think I'm going to be entering any contests any time soon, but it was a cool experience for a company I definitely like a lot!

SECOND, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:
I dunno how many of you guys have heard of Katawa Shoujo or have played it, but SkylitEyed convinced me to play it this past summer. We then found out about a fandub in the works, and I decided to audition and got the role of the adorable wallflower Hanako Ikezawa. I wasn't really supposed to tell anyone, but now that my "Meet Hanako" video is up, I can tell the word! :D I love being a part of this project (especially since it's my first foray into the world of voice acting), and I hope you guys like it! If you have the time, go check out the other videos and subscribe!

Lastly, ACen is coming up fast (as in next week), and I'm frantically trying to get everything done. I think Mindfang and Asahina Aoi from Dangan Ronpa should be ready by then, but I'll also be bringing along Mami as I'll be helping out at the Daisuki booth in the Dealer's Room from 2-5 on Friday and 11-2 on Saturdary. Come say hello! Aside from that I don't have much of a set line up, but feel free to come talk to me if you're gonna be there!

That's pretty much it I guess!
Au revoir, Internets!

EDIT: If you haven't voted, it's the last day to do so, and I'd super appreciate it. I do not expect to get anywhere close to winning, but any vote is awesome! :D

Hey guys! I know I haven't updated in quite some time (the last month of school has been pretty hectic, so I haven't had a lot of time for anything else), but I thought I'd bring y'all up to date on a few things.



I decided to enter Nami in the Arda Spring Banner Contest, and I'd super appreciate your support. You can only vote once, but any votes would be awesome! The link below leads to the list of contestants (I think I'm on page 2)

Also, for the first time I will be attending Anime Central May 17th-19th. My cosplay line up isn't finalized at all, but hopefully I'll be bringing along some Doctor Who, Dangan Ronpa, One Piece, and Homestuck. If you're going, give me a holler!

I will also be going back to Colossalcon (FINALLY) in June, and I am super duper excited. My line up for that is also pretty up in the air, but I'll finalize it once I'm sure of everything.

I know this is a kind of short entry, but I thought I might as well write something on here that wasn't from months ago.

Au revoir, Internet!

KATSUCON 2013!

3 min read


Hey guys! I was originally going to write up a big ol' review on here like I always do, but it ended up being an essay (even worse than normal), so...

I made my first vlog! I don't usually do these kinds of things, but I thought I'd try it out! Tell me what you think!

EDIT: Fixed the broken FB links! Sorry!
Happy Holidays, and (almost) New Year! I hope everyone is having a safe and pleasant break. It definitely couldn't come any sooner for me. It's a new year coming up, and of course, for me it's filled with way too many cosplay plans. If you want to stay updated on my various cosplay shenanigans, I'd be super grateful if you'd like my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/The-Mar…. There's a lot more cosplay progress and various antics on there, since I tend to be on Facebook much more than dA nowadays.

Also, I'd like to give a big ol' thank you to Garivel, who very graciously gave me a year-long Premium membership! Of course, this probably means you'll be seeing more of these overly long journal entries, since I love changing up the journal skins.

A LOOK BACK AT 2012
Nami - Off To The New World! by Flaming-Goddess Mami Tomoe - Make A Wish by Flaming-Goddess Lucy Heartfilia - Keeper of the Keys by Flaming-Goddess
I wasn't quite as productive as I was last year in terms of making new cosplays, but this also made my life a whole lot less stressful and disappointing, as I didn't promise to do a bunch of cosplays I couldn't finish. Never the less, I'm proud of each costume, as they all challenged me in very different ways.

Also, I never had a chance to write about Youmacon. I ended up wearing a closet version of Gwen Stacy (I bought the Marvel Unlimited subscription, and I've been marathoning Spiderman after seeing the new movie) after taking a Greyhound to Detroit. Then I just wore Mami around on Saturday for shenanigans, including Campbells Osoup (check Tumblr if you're intrigued), and said goodbye to people and drove home. I got a chance to actually hang out with awesome people I'd met briefly last Youmacon, which was all kinds of fun. I didn't end up finishing Starfire, since I was in a show and didn't have a lot of free time.

And now, 2013
Coming up first is Ohayocon, which I definitely get to attend. I don't really know when I'll be wearing things, but I should be cosplaying the following at various points during the con:

Mami Tomoe - Puella Magi Madoka Magica (WITH A GROUP Tara, SkylitEyed, ArtemisMoonCosplay, and Blackstarlee. EEEE :D All we need is a Sayaka and we'll have the full group. I can't even. So if you see this and you cosplay Sayaka, PM me cuz it'd be awesome to have a full group. Mami's pretty much become a staple for me at cons, and getting to wear it with a group again is super exciting. I'm going to try and have at least one of her rifles done, because I seriously need to make them and I want to have twofor Katsucon.)

Shinka Nibutani - Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! (I watched the new episodes of this series every week. I know everyone was talking about Sword Art Online, but this was my absolute favorite series for 2012. With the lovely SkylitEyed as Rikka and her boyfriendo as DARKU FLAMU MASHTAH.)

Jane Crocker - Homestuck (After all of my refusal and apprehension when it came to this series, I finally ended up reading it in 2 weeks after Youmacon, and really legitimately enjoyed it. And I get to cosplay alongside the lovely PantySchatz as Roxy, so I'm all kinds of excited)

There might be a few other things that I may bring, but those are the definites. It'll probably be a lot of hanging out with friends and hopefully not too many costume changes, since Ohayocon is mostly just a big con that happens to be close.

Next on my list is Katsucon, which I am so so pumped for. It'll be my second con in Baltimore, and hot damn that hotel. If there is one gorgeous location con, it's Katsu. I'm definitely bringing Mami, but my main cosplay is going to be Marquise Spinneret Mindfang (also from Homestuck). If you're unfamiliar with the series, she's a badass pirate 8itch with a crazy coat that is going to be all kinds of... fun to make. But I'm very excited, and I'll be with PantySchatz again as Her Imperial Condescension.

After Katsucon, I'm not totally sure what cons I'll be attending. ACen, Colossalcon and Otakon are very likely maybes (I've never been to ACen, and I haven't been able to go back to Colossalcon since 2010), but after that who knows.

PLANS FOR 2013
Starfire - Teen Titans Animated Series
Aradia Megido - Homestuck
Damara Megido - Homestuck
Sophitia Alexandra - Soul Caliber II
Lilly Satou - Katawa Shoujo
Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) - Marvel
Stocking Anarchy - Panty & Stocking
Various other versions of Nami and Aradia

Lately I've been dabbling in a little voice acting (if you've played Katawa Shoujo, you should look up Katawa Seiyu on Facebook. www.facebook.com/KatawaSeiyu
It's cool stuff. If you haven't played Katawa Shoujo and are looking to make yourself overly emotionally, play it), as well as reading copious amounts of Marvel Comics and trying to keep myself busy during the holidays before the big rush to start on things for Ohayocon and Katsucon. I'm very excited for the all the new stuff coming up, and look forward to a new con season full of costumes.

Au revoir, Internet!
