Well Q-Con's been over for a week and it's taken me that long to summon enough energy to type this.

After I stayed up alnight on Saturday night finishing my costume I was awarded an 'Honourable Mention for taking part in the Q-Con XVI Cosplay Masquerade with an accurate cosplay of Rinoa Heartily from Final Fantasy VIII'

That's right, they spelled Rinoa's name wrong even though I had to write it down for them.

The Honourable Mention category pretty much got made up because I'd knitted that giant blue cargidan myself over a 2 week period. So I gots prizes yeah!

Alas my art contest entry proved fruitless. As well as my Usual Suspects entry [link] which I drew for the contest, I also entered my Snape portrait [link] , and my Sweet Snake chibi [link]

Apart from that I had fun hanging out with my friends, old and new, chatting with other cosplayers and buying yaoi manga! (Gorgeous Carat, it's only rated Older Teen though so no smut for me)
