fan_servicesUPDATE: WALL CIRCLES
According to the maps available on akaboo, the wall circles will be あ，ア，(hiragana and katakana "a") and for West Hall, A and U
COMIC SPARK 6 is a large doujinshi event at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center. There are a planned 16,400 circle spaces filling all six East Halls, and lots of listed "Only" events this time around. The official website can be found here, and the pixiv event page is located here.
I may close this event to new orders after 15-20 circles. I don't anticipate this being an issue, but just wanted to give you a heads up beforehand! Edit 10/9: That was quick! All further orders will be put on secondary priority -- hopefully I'll be able to make it to your circles, but it might not be until later in the event.
Placing an Order:
❀ Send me an email to feikoi❀gmail.com, with SPARK 6 in the subject line and the following information:
Minimal Form
Full Form
If you know the prices of your items, that helps me a lot in keeping track at the event. But I know a lot of circles don't list those, so that's okay too.
Commission and Fees:
❀ General commission is Y800 per circle, or 30% the cost of items from each circle, whichever is greater.
❀ Wall circles incur an additional Y500 fee, due to likelihood of massive lines. At HCC, wall circles were A, N, ア, タ, ミ, あ, た, み sections. I do not currently have a map available for SPARK6, however, so you may be notified after the event about a change in wall circle status.
❀ Special goods (non-flat, fragile, or larger than standard B5 doujinshi size) will incur an additional fee, to be discussed (in the past, usually Y200 per item).
❀ The grand total will also include cost of items, shipping and handling (your choice of method) and PayPal fees.
Payment:
❀ Payment is through PayPal, preferably in USD (currently, Y1000=$13.04 -- may change closer to the event). Please let me know if you'd prefer to pay in JPY (the PayPal fees are different).
❀ Deposit of $10.00 (one item) or $20.00 (two or more items) per circle is due prior to the event, by the listed deadline of October 20th (EST). The amount of the deposit paid will be subtracted from the final total to calculate the amount due.
Notes:
❀ I may limit this event to 15-20 circles. I will make a note on this page if orders have been closed.
❀ If you have difficulties meeting the deposit deadline (due to the slow transfer of funds through PayPal, or other reason), please let me know, and we can work something out.
❀ For further information on how I generally run my event services, feel free to check out the FAQ, or email me with any questions.

Date: 2011-10-09 10:46 pm (UTC)I don't know any circles websites or how to begin looking for them. I have only ever gotten doujinshi from people selling theirs or group orders. Even then, I only know the name of the circles in a few cases.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-09 10:58 pm (UTC)If you have any more recent doujinshi, you can check the back, and the artists list their websites (and sometimes pixiv id).
It's not really possible to find information about fandoms and items available collected in one spot -- the catalog shows all the circles and what space they'll be at, and their advertisement picture usually gives you an idea of what fandom they are. However, I probably won't be getting this catalog until I arrive at the event, so I can't help you there. (It's like a phone book, essentially, so not much of a help without the artist name, anyway.)

Date: 2011-10-10 01:35 pm (UTC)The only fully searchable catalog for a large multifandom event that I know of is for Comiket -- actually, if you torrent a copy of an old catalog, you could search through that (in Japanese) for circles in your fandom. The CDROM also lists websites for those circles who submitted that info, so it could be a place to start.
Do you know if it's a big fandom? Small fandom? Old, new? Actually, you haven't mentioned what it is you are interested in...

Date: 2011-10-10 09:21 pm (UTC)I am looking for Hetalia focusing on Belarus, Taiwan or Vietnam. Though preferably not Belarus x Russia, Taiwan x Japan or Taiwan x China. So, big fandom but probably not so big on the characters I am interested in. Or Vocaloid focusing on Haku Yowane.
I did go through the pixiv list. Sadly, nothing was there I was interested in.
BTW, I do want to say thank you. I asked several people who are doing pick ups and you are the only one being patient with a newbie and actually answering questions.

Date: 2011-10-11 07:02 am (UTC)I've been digging around my C80 catalog, and found the following info: Vietnam isn't listed (unless it's under some cutesy pairing nickname I don't have); Belarus has at least 5 circles, and Taiwan a couple, too.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-11 11:40 am (UTC)For the Taiwan one at the current size I can't make anything out.
