Didn't make it again sadly, and probably cause they already chosen a prettier face from the same series and costume.

Thank you for the photo anyhow.

Aw, don't feel sad! They've got loads of people to review, but if you keep trying they'll notice your username and realise you haven't been put forward yet.

What issue will the Coscom one be in? I don't think it stated a deadline or anything?

[Garuda_Aiacos]

Been trying each time ever since the selection first started as I was already a member of Cure for quite some time (joined to view Japanese Cosplayers photos back in 2008 and of course upload my best photos there too to make sure my Account IS that of a Cosplayer. Also a Premium Cure member).
Thot it might be a Boast to my Cosplay mood which had gone downhill lately.
Even at DA, someone who coughcoughcosfuckcoughcough the same character I'm doing lately seems to be getting more views than mine! <_<

wAts goin on ?

[RydiaValentine]

I'm not sure if they follow the rules since sometimes they put photos were the cosplayer isn't the predominant subject or the subject can't be seen at all (I once saw a photo of a hand. A bare hand o.O), very low quality photos (webcam quality), the same photo is repeated, same cosplayers posted a lot, same photo posted in different volumes of the magazine, closet cosplay (or a photo of make-up and a wig) and such things.

I've also posted my best photos, had a cure cosplay account since 2008 (or was 2009?) with photos on, but no luck. Maybe they choose the photos randomly, I don't know. I've also realized they only put popular things from the moment the magazine volume is going to get published. So, if you are one of those cosplayers who can't make a cosplay when a new series or game is coming out, your chances to get a place in those pages go down.

But the issue that bothers me is another one. They choose only a character for each game/series. Each time I upload my photo of Rose from Legend of Dragoon with her normal clothes (the one I have in the tree), someone uploads an amazing Legend of Dragoon armor cosplay, so their cosplay is logically the chosen one. Some of those published photos in various volumes were the same one, or very similar.

Is this coincidence? I've done all the tricks to upload it: the first one, in the middle, at the last minute changing any other photo I previously uploaded for my Rose one...and looks like someone is always watching and uploading a LoD armor cosplay photo inmediately after me. This has happened to me every time I upload my best photo of Rose, like 3 or 4 times. I would understand it if it's a recent series, but LoD is a 1999 videogame :/ Is really a malevolent feeling present in these actions? Or do the people who choose the photos discard characters they dislike? (It seems that they only like Shana and Meru xD).

Personally I've haven't seen evidence of what you've posted like closet cosplays, but then I haven't been lurking around Cosmode for a long time - I have seen some rule-breakers like there being two people in the photo when it's only supposed to be an individual.

But the only thing you can do is just keep posting images, they have to deal with so many, but I'm sure you'll get in at one point c:

[RydiaValentine]

I have been lurking cosmode for years, is a magazine I like a lot and sometimes people I know or cosplayers I like a lot are there But yeah they do very weird things with the rules. The repeated photo may be an error and not in purpose. But the others, WTF.

And I really feel uneasy about the Rose issue, it's very weird.

Does anyone have scans of the latest one? o.o

[Rainie]

^Looking for latest CosSnaps scan too. Trying to see if my friends and I got in. I know it takes aboout a week for the magazine to get to the States and it's a Sunday but it never hurts to ask. I might be able to get a copy in a few days

[karen kasumi]

I am also looking for the magazine and could not find it, I hope to see you soon

[yamibakura]

Still looking for scans but..
I just heard that my cosplay of Clear from DRAMAtical Murder got in. ;___; I'm so happy I could die! I didn't expect this..
