Hehe, it's not quite *that* bad... There's just alot of female FFX-2 fans about >.>

Hmm..well, if you're not willing to lie outright, just emphasise the non-anime parts of the con when telling them about it, and keep reassuring them that your brother will be there to negate any fears they may have

Hehe, that looks good, are you planning on dying your hair?
Oh and trust me, Yuna dresses conservatively by con standards...hence me asking how cold it is xD (And yes, this was one of the reasons I loved the Belfast con so much if you must know )

Hehe, awesome =)
Con's are great, I went to one in Belfast (in Northern Ireland) with some mates last summer, it was amazing.
I wouldn't call myself an anime expert by any means, but hmm...I'm just having a think-through..
Hm, I know it's not anime but, how about Yuna from FFX?
Also, thinking back to cosplay trends that I know of, I just have to ask...how cold will it be where the con takes place? >.>

Thanks. It wasn't really hard to plan it all out. I just kinda went from point A, and did a series of "what-if's", and impossibly awesome situations that he had to go though until he could defeat the bad guy. All the while he's peeling back layers of reality and diving into the flith of the underworld, from gangs and drug wars, to military takeovers, government corruption, and even the hyper-religious Galactic government. That, plus all the Teenage, reall life stuff that comes up in conjection to all of this, his best friend crushing on him, his mother remarrying, ect. It's a pretty rough draft, but I have some idea of the major points along the way. but I have yet to define what happens in say, book 4 and book five. I'm just writing along and seeing what happens. I keep saying that my series is going to have as many books as it needs.

Mainly I just keep looking at real life and fiction and putting my characters in that position. From stubbing my toe at work, this whole "identity crisis" thing i have going on, to stuff happening on television. If i like what i see, or it highlights a good point of the character, then i work it into my plot somewhere, even if it's several books later.

That's a cool idea,m the colors of the scars being symbols, sometimes "cool". So are you going to be focusing on the whole "drugs are bad" thing, or are you taking a different angle on it?

Heyy, how be things? =)

LOL thanks. I love writing Sci-Fi.

Here's the prospective back cover to my book:

"John Leavitt is just your average kid. His best friend thinks that he is too smart for his own good, and his mother praises him for being "just like your father". His little sister annoys him, and his father haunts him.

But for a week now, John wakes up screaming in his nightmares. He hears voices, sees images of a planet, a people that grew so powerful that they destroyed themselves. He dreams of a mad man lost in time that pushed these great people to the edge of their survival. He dreams of their ultimate destruction, and their last hope.

John now has their last relic, after light years though space. An armored combat suit, capable of many great things: super-human speed, strength, agility, flight, and a barrage of weaponry. He saves people from burning buildings, and fights off a Man desperate enough to destroy an entire solar system for the secret hidden within the Robo-suit.

We do not need superheroes anymore.
We need true heroes, and some extraordinary circumstances.

We need Roboman…."

LOL it's a new twist on the superhero concept, having him deal equally with saving the world, homework, chores, girls, friendship, ect. But yes, I have my first manuscript ready, with him finding the suit and meeting his "friends". I have the seqel abotu a third written right now, but i have the entire seris planned out...from the begining of time to the end of time :P ! I'm such a dork...but i love it.

What's your story about?

Holy jeebus, sorry for the delayed reply! My friends and family have been dragging me all over the province. Well, the southern bit anyway. Hi!

I don't actually garden on my own time, it's just a job. I have no green thumb at all. I work with my mum on a gardening crew. She does most of the actual gardening, as in keeping the plants healthy, and I do the cleaning and manual labour.

My hair's just about grown down to my butt, although I'll have to trim it soon. Split ends are the devil. Oh, but I dyed it a wicked purple mahogany colour! I'll see if I can get a picture up in the hairstyling forum, it looks awesome!

How've you been keeping? And how's the spring weather up there?

Not really but hopefully I'll be out of it soon enough and I get to spend some time with my sister at least so its not too bad I guess.

Yeah, thats what I've found with other forums too, but it's really great here and I love it already

Awesome! I haven't managed to see it yet but planning to soon, its worth it then? Been doing too much revision for exams today, I'm sick of maths and chemistry now! lolss. you having a good day?
