For reasons various, I posted a question via my Twitter/FB account, inviting responses from anyone who could be bothered.
Complete the following sentence: SF fannish costuming/cosplay is more than just a bunch of overgrown kids playing dressup because....
Responses so far have ranged from predictable to mildly suprising. For instance:
...there's just too damned much work involved in it!
...a lot of craft skills, hard work, and creativity go into the effort sometimes with national recognition as the reward. Of course a select few such people (arguably including myself) do act like babies when something goes wrong. ;-)
...Because Cos players make the stuff. There is skill there and hard work. I play dress up. I will wear a costume if handed one and told who I'm supposed to be.
What about you lot? Anything to add?
