Welcome to AZ-Cosplay!

AZ-Cosplay is a group aimed at connecting cosplayers in Arizona and showcasing their work. If you live in Arizona and have a passion for cosplay, feel free to join! If you live outside of Arizona, but have attended a convention here or have ties to this state, feel free to join as well!

General Rules:

Treat fellow group members with respect (no bullying, harassing, stalking, etc.)!

Each member is only allowed to submit up to THREE submissions to the group per day.

Please make sure that you are placing your submission(s) in the correct folder. If you are uncertain which folder your submission belongs in, information about the folders can be found here: [link] . If you are still uncertain which folder your submission belongs in, feel free to send us a note.

FAQ:

How can I use AZ-Cosplay to promote a cosplay-related event?

Journal/Blog entries can be used to promote cosplay gatherings, convention information, rules, and other events that are directly related to the group, Arizona, or cosplay. Although you are free to leave comments about cosplay-related events on AZ-Cosplay's main page, the most effective way of informing group members is by writing a journal entry and submitting it directly to the group.

Why was my submission(s) to AZ-Cosplay declined?

Your submission(s) may have been declined for one of the following reasons:
1.) You do not reside in Arizona and have no ties to the state whatsoever.
2.) Your submission contains gratuitous sex, violence, etc.
3.) You have submitted too many images from the same photoshoot. Please remember to submit photos in moderation. If you have quite a few photos of your cosplay that were taken at similar locations on the same day, please choose your favorite images (preferably 1-3) to submit to the group. Showcase your favorite images from that photoshoot--and our members will be able to view the others in your personal gallery.
4.) You may have submitted to the incorrect folder. We ask that you resubmit to the correct folder in the group gallery.

If you feel that your submission followed all of these rules and was unfairly declined, send us a note.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please send us a note and we will try to get back to you as quickly as possible. :)

Um...wow I don't even know how to describe Repo!...
I guess in short terms its a Gothic Rock Opera created by TZ and Directed by DLB. In the not so distant future everyones Organs start to fail and a company called Gene Co produces factory made organs. If you cant pay for your surgery they send out Repo Men to take back those organs *basically kiling you* It also follows the story of a young girl who has a blood desise and such. Like I said I cant realy describe it. I guess its one of those things you have to see to understand it. Sooooo GO WATCHING NOW MY FRIEND!!! :p lol

No problem! We're glad to have you as a part of AZ-Cosplay! ^^

:iconfancyravioli: mentioned that you're searching for cosplayers to photograph and referred me to the journal on your DeviantArt page. Would you like to create a blog entry asking if local cosplayers are interested in being photographed? Or I'd be happy to write a blog entry for you, if you'd prefer that instead.

Hey guys, I got a question for everyone here; is it common for your famillies to be involved in your cosplays or no?
