How interested would you guys be in having a monthly....maybe weekly journal written featuring 1+ images from our featured folder where I pick the image apart and explain every aspect that deems it "Featured Content"?
I could also do this instead with one image from each folder (shining examples perhaps?) and explain why that COSPLAY (since "featured" also includes lighting, makeup, pose, and background) is a shining example of MLP cosplay.
I would also ask that you guys write in the comments which images you would like to see me dissect next....or you can start now, if you think it is a good idea either leave a quick comment saying "yes" or feel free to request the first picture.
this will be a group wide thing that we would do to hold us over until I am able to spring for the next contest.

Of course if YOU are selected to be picked apart I would first ask your permission and if you like I can also let you read over the journal before it is made public.
Nothing negative will ever be said about images, however there is potential for a feed back section where I may also give feed back as to what else could be done to improve the picture.
This is only because nothing is perfect and everything (no matter what) could somehow be better. Though I will never suggest costly improvements due to the fact that cosplayers do not often have a large sum of money lying around that can be blown on cosplay.

Either way, comment with your thoughts and maybe suggestions.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU APPLY!

Remember to submit to the correct folder. This helps the STAFF out quite a bit ^_^

Absolutely no deviations with explicit/mature content (this is My Little Pony people)

:iconpinkrose1plz::iconpinkrose2plz::iconpinkrose3plz::iconrose1plz::iconpinkrose4plz::iconpinkrose5plz::iconpinkrose6plz:

Limits on pictures includes: 
:bulletred: Explicit/mature material
:bulletred: work in progress

:bulletred: blurry or out of character shots
:bulletred: pictures you had nothing to do with (not a cosplayer, designer, or photographer)
:bulletred: all of your cosplay pictures ever! (we only need one or two of each, thank you ^_^)
:bulletred: the cosplay alone (just the pieces, no model)
:bulletred: shots that may be too close to tell WHO you are cosplaying,
for instance, :iconlydiaengle: is a vinyl scratch cosplay, however, you cannot tell because it is too close.
for most pony cosplays this will be applied even if your entire face, even shoulders are included, it is simply too difficult to tell who you are.

:bulletyellow: questionable cosplay (possibly a tad revealing)

:bulletgreen: convention shoots
:bulletgreen: completed cosplay
:bulletgreen: your best work

:bulletgreen: pictures you've taken
:bulletgreen: cosplay you've worn
:bulletgreen: cosplay you have made

HOW TO CONDUCT YOURSELF WHILE IN THIS GROUP!

:bulletred: flame others cosplay, photography, props, ideas, opinions.
:bulletred: start arguments about anything (even who is best pony(

:bulletgreen: Complete and High quality cosplay ONLY
(Yes even something SLIGHTLY off can ruin your chances)
:bulletgreen: Pleasing and fitting scenery
:bulletgreen: wear make-up (it can take a lot to look perfect)
:bulletyellow: convention shots (tasteful, in an area without visual background noise)
:bulletred: self taken photos
:bulletred: dingy photos (the contrast is bad)
:bulletred: con/public shots (there aren't humans in generation 4 at least, and there are certainly no show crossovers)
:bulletyellow: multishots (you CAN win a contest with one, we usually dislike them though, try to stick to a single shot)

The featured folder is only the best of the best of MLP cosplay, and in order to get in you must meet the near impossible standards...but I assure you...it is possible.

Hi all!

I'm here to ask you for help. So, at first: my name is Sara and I'm from Poland. In my country (any fellow-countryman here?) we have something like online newspaper for bronies. Free, monthly magazine with intervievs with famous bronies, revievs of episodes and fanfiction, relations from meetups, essays about different phenomenons in fandom... And actually, I'm writing an article for this last category. About cosplay. I'm a huge fan of cosplay - MLP, games, movies, everything - but I never made any by myself, so I don't know a few things. And here is my request: could someone answer me a few questions? Nothing personal, just about technical side of making cosplay. If someone could help me I'd be really glad!
Greetings,
Sara

I would be glad to answer any questions you have, the founder is rather busy, but the co-founder is good enough right?
