fan_servicesTurns out I /will/ be in Japan for winter vacation, so I'll be attending Winter Comiket! :D
For those unfamiliar with Japanese doujinshi events, this is a massive three day fanworks convention with tens of thousands of participating artists -- and many more attendees. The doujin circles have already started to hear back whether or not they managed to get drawn in the lottery for a space at this event, so keep an eye out -- your favorite group might be attending!
EVENT NOTES:
CLICK HERE FOR UPDATES
Cosplay and Priority Circles: I plan on cosplaying again, probably all days -- the winter temperatures are much easier to deal with than summer. Since I have a bit of experience with these events now, here's the priority game plan:
1. Attend [first building, first hall set]
2. Attend [first building, second hall set]
3. Check time, probably head to cosplay area
4. Attend [second building, remaining halls]
5. Double-back and see if latecomers showed up at all.
Physically, halls are split up into East and West buildings, with two sets of open-plan halls in each building. I will probably go to either East or West hall first, then cosplay, then attend the remaining hall. (For example: East 4-5-6 is first priority, East 1-2-3 is second priority, then cosplay prep, then West 1-2.) When I get more information about who is attending where, I will post up here the attendance order. If I have more time than expected, I'll try getting all the shopping done in the morning.
Placing an Order:
❀ Send me an email to feikoi❀gmail.com, with "C81" 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:
Payment:
Payment is through PayPal, preferably in USD (currently, Y1000=$13.50, to account for my bank's fees =.=). Please let me know if you'd prefer to pay in JPY.
Deposit of up to $10.00 per item is due prior to the event, by the listed deadline of December 22nd (EST). The amount of the deposit paid will be subtracted from the final total to calculate the amount due. (I will discuss the expected deposit amount with you when the order is placed.)
EVENT SUMMARY:
NAME: Comic Market 81
DATE: December 29-31 (31st attendance is tentative)
ORDER DEADLINE: December 22nd, EST (item lists may be altered after this point)
DEPOSIT DEADLINE: December 22nd, EST

Commission and Fees:
- General commission is Y800 per regular circle, or 30% the cost of items from each circle, whichever is greater.
- Due to likelihood of massive lines, wall circles will also incur a Y500 fee. At C81, wall circles are A, シ, あ, れ sections. Wall circle fees will not be applied to the last priority section, unless there's still a significant line at that point in the event.
- Special goods (non-flat, fragile, or larger than B5 size) will incur an additional fee, 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=$13.50, to account for my bank's fees =.=). Please let me know if you'd prefer to pay in JPY.

Date: 2011-12-20 08:47 am (UTC)Hmm, I see circles for the genre "聖剣伝説", no "2". In the descriptions, they say 聖剣伝説LoM or 聖剣伝説CoM or 聖剣伝説3. Are any of these what you're looking for?

Date: 2011-12-21 04:00 pm (UTC)G-Factory seems to be releasing a book called “Seasons”. Does the website provide info if it will be a novel or a comic? If it’s a comic I would like to add it to my list as well ^^. The site is:
lhttp://pocketym.blog83.fc2.com/
Mmmm... Unfortunately Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana) is very old (1994) and apparently not as popular as its sequel =(… Could you provide me the circles for 聖剣伝説CoM? I hope the C means Children of Mana…
I may still add a couple things but the sites are updated very slowly =P…. I will let you know as soon as I get further info ^^.
