    That there is a Michele Wilson cover! I love her stuff, and I’m so glad that she gets so much my way. Mo Starkey was kind enough to take the image and set it up as a cover for me! She’s an absolute star, no? That pun was, almost, completely intended. So, Mo Starkey is Art Director for this one! OK, this issue has 2 Steve Stiles images! Gotta love that1 When’s he getting his Hugo? That’s one right there!

The man deserves a Rocket to use as the paperweight for his pile of commendations for Meritous Service! Now, there’s a lot to talk about. Turns out I’ll be working the Napa Valley Film Festival in November. Love me some film festival! I’m going to be running the Wine Tent in Calistoga! Can’t go wrong with that! There’s my look at ConQuesT, a couple of LoCs, and there’s art! That’s this issue. Not a big one, but one I’m looking forward to putting out because I’ve been falling off schedule more and more often. I gotta get back into the rhythm. We’re doing the Hugo Award for Best Novel issue for Westercon, and there’s gonna be at least two more issues between now and then! Not to mention my issue of Claims Department about the music of The Smiths. I love the Smiths, and it took The Smiths Project by Janice Whaley to make me realise exactly how much.

I would also like to thank Dr. Heather Jacobson and Dr. Kelly Bergstrand for their support as my thesis committee. Thank you all. i DEDICATION I would like to thank my family and friends who have supported me through this thesis project and my overall academic career. They have been there to bounce ideas off and complain to. Thank you for your interest in my work. ii ABSTRACT Pros and Cons: Anime Conventions and Cosplayers Angela Barajas, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2018 Supervising Professor: David Arditi Among the brightly-hued convention (con) halls, people dressed in feathers, foam armor, and spandex pose for pictures with one another as cosplayers. Cosplay is a way for fans to present themselves and their group to the fan community on a con-wide scale. Originally, I planned to investigate how cosplayers navigate their identities as cosplayers and as members of mainstream American society and how do these two identities inform each other. I sought to understand cosplayer’s identities as laborers within their cosplay groups. Using ethnographic research methods, I interviewed eleven participants and conducted participant observations.
