I was actually thinking about starting one of these threads, but I suppose it's better that a Y-Con vet got the ball rolling. Maybe this should be stickied?
My nickname's Mina, and you can call me that or one of my usernames (Miss Citrus and Pika Pika Queen are the two most common ones). I'm 18 years old, female, and currently reside about 30 minutes away from Seattle. This year will be my first Yaoi-Con, and I'm unbelievably excited.
I've been attending Sakura-Con for the past three years, so I'm not new to the convention-scene. You can check out the cosplay I've done through the links in my sig. KaitouHotaru, who I call Ace, is my cosplay partner-in-crime.
<3 We'll be working together once again to make costumes for Y-Con.
Hmm, what else? Oh yes, I've been a yaoi/BL fan since I was in middle school, when I jumped on the Gundam Wing bandwagon. While I'm not as into it as I was when I was 14, it's still a fandom I enjoy. Right now my big fandom is Saiyuki (or anything by Kazuya Minekura, really), but I've had a tough time finding good fanfiction for it. If you have any recs, please let me know! And I have a "thing" for rival pairings, for future reference. ;3
My hobbies are drawing, reading fanfiction and manga, writing (or entertaining the idea of it, anyway), watching anime and movies, web design, making costumes, playing video games, and singing/dancing terribly along with loud music. xD I also really enjoy playing tennis, and hiking/backpacking, but I haven't had too many chances to do any of that recently. I
love chicken, Chinese food and genuine ramen, but cannot stomach any kind of seafood (which means that yes, I don't like the vast majority of Japanese food >.<

. I collect manga artbooks, general merchandise from my favorite series/games (which include Evangelion, Saiyuki and FF8), and anything Pikachu. x3
It's a bit long, but a good enough introduction, I think. ^^
