Hi Gail, I wanted to ask you a question from a creator's POV. I love going to conventions and would love to some day cosplay, but have yet to do so (mainly just don't have the time to make the costumes). The thing is, I also am working towards a career in

I want to be a little bit careful, because there may be someone who actually judges someone’s work by the fact that they cosplay, but jeez, that would be one lousy editor.

I guess it is possible that some editors might be that small-minded. I hate to think it, I can guarantee that editors USED to think that way and used to mock cosplayers openly, but I would hope they had outgrown it.

I feel like you should still go ahead, if they genuinely care that you are cosplaying, break in anyway just out of spite.
