Hello! I got a link to this site on my tumblr dash, so I decided to check it out, and this is a pretty neat forum! So, I am introducing myself in what will hopefully be an interesting, and not awkward manner. X3

I am 20, from Virginia. I am currently getting a degree in Criminal Justice, after which I plan to go into law enforcement. I have two Corgis name Rosie and Pippin, and they are the complete loves of my life. I also work part time at a barn taking care of horses, all of whom are very interested in getting in my way to see what I'm doing or if I have carrots for them.

Cosplay is one thing I am very into, and I attend as many anime conventions a year as I can afford. I have yet to complete a cosplay from Sailor Moon because my list is so long but I very much want to cosplay Sailor Uranus at some point, as well as the Kinmoku fan design of Seiya, and Saphir from the Black Moon Clan.

I'm also an artist in my free time.

I dabble in roleplay too, and I did admin for a small roleplay
community site for several years before it slipped into inactivity.
Alas, these days I am still without a good solid source of RP fun.

I have loved Sailor Moon probably since I was in elementary school. One day I discovered a VHS of the first four DIC dubbed episodes at Blockbuster and asked my mom to rent it for me. I was hooked after that. At this point I sort of view the DIC/Cloverway dubs as sacrilege, but I won't fault anyone else for loving them. They ARE a large part of why most American fans know what Sailor Moon is, after all.

One day in Borders I found the manga section by accident and discovered that there was a Sailor Moon manga. Sailor Moon was actually my introduction to manga as well, and I am SUPER excited to buy the newly released books when I get to them. I'm dearly hoping that one day Funimation might get the rights to redub the anime, because I think at that point my life could probably be complete.

No that's a lie, I still have far too many cosplays to complete. XD

Anywho, that's basically me in a very small nutshell. It's good to be here! I plan to stay for a while. <3

Welcome!! You should totally cosplay Uranus ;P I have a Neptune costume but have no money for cosplays. XD.

Thanks! I want to make her fuku so bad, but I am super lazy and I have no motivation because my only Sailor Moon friend only cosplays Usagi. XD

Ooo you cosplay Neptune? Cool!

Well haha I bought a costume for Halloween. That's about as far as my cosplaying shall go. XD. Maybe someday though I will be able to do something with it. But dressing up along is pretty cool haha. I will come find you and we can cosplay together! haha jk.

There are tons of tutorial threads on the interwebs on how to make Sailor Senshi cosplays, so I am faaaairly confident once I actually get off my butt and shell out the dough it'll go ok. XD I normally buy my costumes, but it would be cheaper to make this. Yeah we should cosplay together one day! Though I don't know if we are close enough geographically...

Welcome to the forum, dear! Wonderful to have you with us. Your major sounds so incredible! Criminal Justice looks like such a fascinating degree to study. Is it difficult?

Sailor Moon was my introduction to manga as well! Yay for Sailor Moon. Hee.

Hope you show us photos of your cosplays!

hmm yeah lol Texas to Virginia would be a stretch I think. XD. It was a nice thought though! (:

@Sailor Jupiter
Thank you! It can be difficult if you're not interested in the subject, but it comes to me fairly easily so far. I have had the luck of getting excellent professors so far though, so that may be a contributing factor.

Sailor Moon is a gateway manga/anime, you know? XD

I would be honored to share photos of my cosplays. Most of the good ones are on my deviantart, which is linked on my profile, but I can share them here too. I am still exploring the site, so I'm sure I'll find a place to exhibit them.

I'm hoping also if anyone here has made their own Sailor fuku for a Sailor Moon cosplay they might be willing to give me some tips. X3

@NauticalNeptune

Indeed...but we can still chat online.

Aww for sure!! *goes to check your deviantart out stalkerishly*

;D I hope you enjoy.

Welcome aboard, Sailor Red Star! You are quite right in your assessment that Sailor Moon is a gateway to the manga/anime universe and all it has to offer.

Thank you! I know right? It's so great.
