You write awesome fanfic, you cosplay, and you like Cats? I'm totally friending you...
I can give you some resource links for Cats costumes, if you like. :D If nothing else I know where to get a unitard and how to find tutorials for the wigs (I commissioned mine... it was just easier).
Haha, Cats was my very first fandom. I never wrote anything for it but it's the first thing I read fanfiction for. I would love to do one of their costumes. <3
Resources would be awesome! I need all the help I can get, lol. :D
Cats was my first fandom, too. I went all-in... fic, RP, costumes, even ran a website for several years. I still have a handful of fics posted on my ff.net account for that fandom... Really takes me back. Then again, maybe not that far back, since I wore my Bombalurina costume as recently as Halloween. XD
As for resources, I get my unitards from Discount Dance Supply. They sell a mock-turtleneck full-body unitard for about $45 that works quite well for most Cats costumes (obviously not the ones with scoop neck unitards, but as I recall they sell those too).
When it comes to wigs, if you've got the cash I seriously recommend commissioning one from Roxanne. XD Sooooooo much easier than trying to make one, and hers are gorgeous. Otherwise, this forum is a pretty good general resource for Cats costumes, and this site has the best tutorials I've found to date, particularly for wigs.
Well, I was really young when I got into Cats--I think 11 or 12--so I wasn't really aware of what "fandom" was yet. My friend who was into it with me introduced me to fanfiction so I read that. But now I am totally going to go read your Cats fics. :D
I was wondering if your penname came from Cats. Every time I saw it "Growltiger's Last Stand" would pop into my head XD
Yaaay for resources! I will definitely be checking these out. I took a peek at Roxanne and I feel like I've seen her stuff on deviantart somewhere...if so, then I'd love to commission her. At the same time, I kind of want to attempt making the wig myself....I guess we'll see what happens!
