Whatever your stance on cosplay, one can't deny that it's an active arena in fan participation with media. Is it simply a distracting branch that interferes with the "pure" transactions between fans and creators? Or is it a means for fans to enrich their participation with the creations themselves? When fandoms form around a creation, how should a creator respond?
On the next Comics Are Great! show I'll be joined by Rachel Ashley-Lovelace for a discussion on the culture of fandoms and cosplay and how they might coexist with the creative forces that inform them.
You can participate in the discussion via the G+ Hangout event page.
