Supanova 2011

[hovercarracer]

I guess everyone is doing a Supanova recap, so I figure I'd better, too, for posterity - it was my first 'con', after all... AND I DRESSED UP AS MERLIN, ZOMG. How did that even happen?! (Yeah, first con and first 'cosplay' - probably not the smartest idea!)

ETA: Now with photos! Click to enlarge.

Oh I remember my first con, a year or two ago now, so much fun! But I didn't get any pictures or any autographs. This sounds so cool. I'm glad Colin Morgan is as friendly and nice as I hoped he would be! I'd love to see pictures, if you are willing to share.

Hello again! Sorry, I'm just randomly reading other peoples' post. But there were people dressed up as Morgana?!? :O We didn't see any of those!

Wow. Your writeup is so much more comprehensive than mine (mostly cause I was to hyped to write anything - first con also). Oh! And while my sister and I were in the photo lineup one of the staff members told us about a Merlin cosplayer who'd gone through earlier (and done merlin's pose with Colin standing alongside acting normal) was this you?!?

I kind of felt for colin during some of the pannel questions- he totally dealt with I like a pro though. I admire that.

I did my write-up a couple of days after, when the hype has mostly faded, lol.

Alas, the cosplayer you're referring to wasn't me - I think it must've been the other Merlin, who was walking around with Arthur. I'm kicking myself for not doing it myself, though! I thought about it but in the end I was too self-conscious... and not quite thinking coherently. =P

I know the feeling. My whole day was mostly 'omg Colin....'. He was really sweet though when I told him he was the reason I went in the first place. I was bummed at the queues - but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I'm so glad you had a great time! I was at Supanova on Sunday too - I was the "Free awkward Draco hugs" Voldemort - and I saw you in the photo/signature hall :) I thought your costume was brilliant!

[hovercarracer]

Haha! You guys were brilliant - it was such a great idea! =D

(PS - Hope you don't mind the photo in my post? If you prefer, I can take it down...)

[demeteraus]

Not at all! I'm incredibly flattered! I seriously thought of the sign last-minute so I didn't expect it to be as popular as it was :) But would you mind if I put the picture on my "Free Awkward Draco Hugs" Voldemort page on Facebook? http://www.facebook.com/pages/Free-Awkward-Draco-Hugs-Voldemort/255151424534620 I don't use LJ much so I don't know whether the link will work or not but there's my page! :P

No problem :)
