Chess Theme for 2010 Chosen!

As an avid cosplay event enthusiast, I know that some people (like myself) like to know the theme of the Chess Match crazy in advance so they can make a costume JUST to fit the match.

So, this year's theme to go with the Gothic/Horror theme of our con is...

Cute and Cuddly vs Dark and Spooky

One side will be ridiculously fluffy, pink, and all around "GONNA GET TAKEN HOME" while the other shall be more brooding, mysterious... evil.

More information will be made available when we get ready to take applicants, but know that this year is going to be a lot of fun and I hope that everyone who can enter, will!

That will be awesome

I would love to take part but, I don't think any of my costumes I'm planing on making would count for the cute side for the chess game.

Maybe I could enter with my Shaymin gijinka if I make it more cute. The pokemon alone is pretty darn cute.

Yatta! I can't wait. I'll have to think of what I could do for a cosplay that would fit this theme. Well I do have one good idea, but thats only if I can get my whole OHSHC group together. We are still short 1 Honey-Senpai.

Haha I know what cosplays I'm doing for AAC and a couple of them fit dark and spooky.
Mwahahaha!

What about Rena Ryuguu? Isn't she both?!

Unicorn: When a character fits both, we decide which side would benefit more from them... in this case, unless you're covered in blood and carrying her machete, people who haven't seen the show will not get that she's "creepy" and she would most likely be placed on the cute side.

If the spooky side needed people and she was submitted, then we could work a way to make people who haven't seen Higurashi understand that she's all sorts of creepy just to fill that side. We've found that most themes usually get a tidal wave for one side and a trickle for the other in terms of submissions, it's really a gamble.

I wonder if Visual-Kei would count as "dark" and broody.

I'd retired it in favor of my Liza Wildman outfit (which I won't be wearing, bare midriff in October here = NO) but this seems a good opportunity to bring back my Takara Miyuki winter uniform costume. I hope the wig's still in decent shape..!

I've always wanted to participate in cosplay chess!

I am going to wear my best version of Lord of Darkness from Legend. Do you think it can get darker than that?

I have two questions, what IS cosplay chess? I'm personally a con virgin. Also, I'm going as Grell Sutcliff from Kuroshitsuji. I have no clue if he is cute or spooky! He is kinda both...
