And it’s up! You can read & share the full article here: https://issuu.com/awodigitaledition/docs/coronado_magazine/54 . Thank you so much to everyone tagged who participated and wrote such amazing #whyicosplay responses! I was hoping for another page to get everyone’s answers in, but it was up to the editor & production and unfortunately I did not so apologies to anyone who did not get featured specifically (if it was up to me you’d all be in 👍). Please know that this article wouldn’t have been possible without everyone’s input and support, though, so seriously thank you to EVERYONE. This community is truly inspiring. 🙏💛 . . . #cosplaying #cosplayer #cosplay #cosplayofinstagram #cosplayers #cosplaygirl #cosplayboy #comiccon #article #blogpost #magazines #geeklife #nerdlife #costume #cosplaylife #cosplaycommunity #cosplayphotography #sdcc #fandom #writingcommunity #cosplaylove #marvelcosplay #starwarscosplay #overwatchcosplay #disneycosplay #aspiringwriter #pleaseshareifyoulike #thankyouthankyouthankyou

Hey friends! If you’re feeling the post-Comic Con blues as much as I am this week, I have a request that can hopefully help cheer us all up. I could really use your help for an article I’m doing about comic-con and more specifically, cosplay. The main theme I’ll be addressing is *why we cosplay*. If you need help getting started with your answer, consider the following: - What inspires you to cosplay? - How or what got you started and interested in cosplay? - What does cosplay means to you and what does it brings to your life? (Is this different for you personally as a cosplayer vs. in general about the cosplay community?) - Who do you cosplay for? - Is cosplay freeing for you, either to be more of your true self or explore different parts of yourself? Please send your answer one of the following ways! - DM me with your answer 🙂 - Leave a comment on this post 👇 - Create your own #WhyICosplay post! Please include the hashtag and tag me, @thecosplayingbrooke, in your post so I know for sure this is your submission. 📸 Please feel free to pass this along and I will feature as many answers as I can and your Instagram handle if featured (unless otherwise stated) for credit(+social boosting!). For the best chance to be included in this article, please send your answer by noon this Sunday, 7/29! Please feel free to continue posting and sharing #WhyICosplay well beyond this, however, and keep the cosplay love going; eventually I would like to try to do a larger compilation down the road to include all of your no doubt amazing submissions. Until then I will share the finished article as soon as it’s completed and live! THANK YOU. Seriously, your help and honest answers are super, super appreciated and this community could not be more inspiring. ❤️ Keep up the great work! . . . #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplaycommunity #cosplayer #costume #cosplaygirl #cosplayboy #cosplaylife #comiccon #sdcc #sdcc2018 #comiccon2018 #fandom #nerdlife #marvelcosplay #starwarscosplay #animecosplay #videogamecosplay #dccosplay #disneycosplay #cosplays #cosplayers #cosplayphotography #cosplayprogress #cosplans #helpaspideyout #pleaseshare #youguysarethebest
