Teen author Lucy Saxon tells us about her life as a cosplayer and what she gets out of dressing up as a fictional character – plus some great tips on how to make your own costumes. Comic-Con here we come!
If you’ve never heard the term “cosplay” before, don’t worry, you’re probably not the only one. Cosplay is the act of dressing up as a fictional character from any sort of media, and is usually done at comic conventions. Imagine a fancy dress party lasting a full weekend and attended by thousands of people, many of whom are incredibly dedicated to making their costumes as perfect as they can be.
Anything goes when it comes to cosplay; obscure characters, original characters, anime, movies, video games, even pop culture and historical figures! You name it, someone somewhere has probably cosplayed it.
