I hope this topic doesn't overlap into the current cosplay threads we've got. Basically I started this topic so that everyone can share
1. Who/what they're planning to go as for SDCC '12
2. If they are going solo or in a group
3. If they are open to joining or forming one with others from the same fandom.

My best friend and I are attending SDCC '12 together but she's really not into comics and cosplay (she's going mainly for a chance to spot the cast of Shameless, True Blood and Spiderman), whereas I'm a huge fan of dressing up in costumes ( -- well, I used to be, SDCC basically brought me out of my 4 year retirement!) and as such I'll be going solo in my costume endeavours.

Here are my confirmed cosplays:
Alice from American McGee's Alice
Castiel from Supernatural
Mazikeen from Lucifer

I'm also contemplating Delirium from Sandman , but as of current I'm already up to my neck in costume costs! However, if there's going to be an Endless group with an open slot it would certainly motivate me to work on this one! :)

Awesome sauce idea to start a topic like this. Makes it much easier to see who's going as who.

1. I'm planning on going as a steam punk version of Zexion (Kingdom Hearts) (still haven't decided on whether or not I want to make an Org XIII coat as well)

2. Just me  :)

3. I'm TOTALLY open to joining anybody who happens to be going as an Organization XIII member, or anybody else from the series.  :D

I think I already posted that I wear a variety of Gatchaman costumes, as do my friends. Gatchaman is also known as Battle of the Planets, G-Force and Eagle Riders.

A number of people from our fandom meet in the Sails each day around lunchtime (at the tables provided). We welcome anyone with an interest in the show!

I think I've posted this elsewhere, but I'm part of a Gatchaman fan group. (Gatchaman is also known as Battle of the Planets, G-Force and Eagle Riders)

We always dress up as characters from the show. This year is the 40th anniversary of Gatchaman, so we're especially excited to have our fan gathering.

DH is dressing as Dr. Horrible and a Jedi. The kids will be Minecraft characters/Steve.

Last year I went as Wario and Cartman. For this year I have no idea/time to prepare a costume. I guess I'll "recycle" those two.

'Recycling' costumes is important. If you have one you really love, then you can wear it every year, making tweaks as you go. Honestly, SDCC is so big that no one has ever said to me, 'Hey, didn't I see you in that costume last year?'

At this point I've pretty much confirmed my outfits for SDCC '12.

- Tintin
- American McGee's Alice
- Castiel from Supernatural
- Mazikeen from Mike Carey's Lucifer

I'm REALLY hoping to meeting other cosplayers from the same fandoms, so give me a shoutout if you're planning to dress up as such! Or just holla anyway because I would love to get to know you guys!

@Transmute we have REALLY got to take photos together, differing fandoms or not. Seriously. :)

Was really hoping to go as Thor. Probably going in StarTrekTNG to match the fiancee, don't want her to feel left out.

There's no law that says that you have to match. I'm going as various anime superheroes, while my DH is going as Dr. Horrible and a Jedi.

Like Transmute Jun my DH and I won't be matching either! Although I was tempted to ask him to dress up as an animated Dakota Fanning to go with my Other Mother costume...  :P

1. Dexter Morgan (I've got the kill suit XD)
    Fem!Sherlock from the BBC Sherlock (I've got everything but the shirt heh heh)
    And my last is a interpretation of Loki, modernized Loki? I guess you could call it? I'm so doing the helmet though.

2. It started as solo, but then my group decided to branch off of my Loki idea, we now have a Hawkeye, Black Widow, and a USO Girl (she did want to be Captain America but she decided the USO Girls were cuter) I have no clue if the three of them will fall through on this plan though...

3. Why the hell not?
