Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

Taking an interest in this and booting it to "new post" status:

I'm a former LARPer myself (left my OWbN Vampire: The Masquerade game about a year ago) and I think it would be interesting to see a Cosplay LARP at the con. I believe it would have to be an Alternate Universe setting with some main theme, though something silly and fun - like a competing teams setting - would be most appropriate because this would be a light-hearted event, but still have some drive to keep participating.

There are some little things that would have to be worked out, but since this would be no where near as rigorous as an ongoing chronicle, I could help co-run it if there's any interest in this event actually happening.

And a quick note on "battle" tests - my chronicle used a quick Rock-Paper-Scissors, one out of one, for declaring winner. Simple, quick, and no dice/paper slips/hats to deal with.
