>How to order from Vograce
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18UxKnpgrmeb82NnW5e4YIEX-eZ3zHt178Mp6i0A5gME/edit?usp=sharing
I've praised vograce in the past, but I'm on my third order with them now and communication seems to be getting increasingly worse.
I've just waited for them to send me back the outlines of my charms for a week. When I sent them an e-mail to ask about it, it turned out they were waiting for me to send over the files, which I'd already done.
Whenever I send them multiple questions at once, they only answer one or two at the time. (I hate it when people do this so much.)
Their English has been bad enough at points that I just couldn't understand what they were saying. And I'm used to Chinglish.
I get the feeling that coco might be multiple people who aren't communicating well with each other. I get multiple e-mails that contradict each other, for example the first e-mail says they can't open my files, but the second e-mail a few hours later contains all my outlined files, asking me for approval.
The ordering process is getting more frustrating each time and it's taking far longer than it should. Have they just become too busy?
Is anyone else noticing this?
>>8955102
linking my old question!
>>8956923
I did notice their email responses have been a bit slower lately but it's literally con season, anon. I don't know what you were expecting. I try to check in every few days so if you literally waited a week before you checked in, that's kind of on you.
You can try Vicky or one of the other reps if you're having trouble with Coco. I know Vicky has better English than Coco at the very least. But it's kind of ridiculous that you're complaining about English while dealing with a Chinese company. Either learn Chinese or suck it up and ask for multiple clarifications like the rest of us. Whining about English just makes you sound like an entitled shitlord.

I'd love a drawing!
Fanime is only 2 months away. How was the quality of the recent past Fanimes and do you think you'll be going this year?
>>8922700
Fanime needs to die.

Listen son, downtown San Jose doesn't have much going on these days, we kinda need the convention around. Plus all bar shootings/stabbings have been boring as of late.

New Thread! Discuss where to buy, where not to buy, recent purchases, reviews and sales!
I've been having some issues recently with honeycolor. They messed up my bogo order recently and it took forever on top of that to reach me. Is it just me or anyone else having problems?
Alice and Rabbit Shop
A cosplayer I'm following got theirs from them. Have you guys heard of it?
I like Uniqso for their sales and coupon codes, but it seems to take months for them to replenish their stock, if they ever do. Are they phasing out certain brands or what?
>>8956254
I just checked them out, shop looks tiny and they seem to only have the standard, plano 'cosplay' ones sold cheaply in Japan.

> The end of the comic seems to finally be in sight. Do you expect a revival of Homestuck cosplays or will it mostly just be the same as the past few years?
> Will you still cosplay from Homestuck even after the comic ends? Are there any outfits you still want to do?
>The end of the comic seems to finally be in sight. Do you expect a revival of Homestuck cosplays or will it mostly just be the same as the past few years?
Hard to say, really. I was just at wondercon and the only homestuck cosplay I saw was a single Jade. I think it depends on the quality of the upcoming sequence of panels--if they're good, I could easily see a revival in enthusiasm fueled by the ending of the comic. If not, I think the community will continue to die down.
>Will you still cosplay from Homestuck even after the comic ends? Are there any outfits you still want to do?
I probably will, because I'm a filthy poser and haven't actually done any Homestuck cosplay yet. One of these days, I will, and the end of the comic might be the ideal time to do it.
> The end of the comic seems to finally be in sight. Do you expect a revival of Homestuck cosplays or will it mostly just be the same as the past few years?
I think that the people who have been fans of the webcomic for a while will use their old cosplays one last time in loving memory of the webcomic. In other words, a mild boost of homestucks summer 2016.
> Will you still cosplay from Homestuck even after the comic ends? Are there any outfits you still want to do?
I don't think homestuck cosplays are something I will continue doing. I might have one last photoshoot as Tavros or something (It being they favourite out of my three homestuck cosplays). But my passion for homestuck is just not as grand anymore, and the people I used to cosplay from homestuck with no longer cosplay from homestuck.
But if I were to continue making homestuck cosplay I would definitely do Rufioh and Nepeta.
> Will you still cosplay from Homestuck even after the comic ends? Are there any outfits you still want to do?
The ending of the comic has really encouraged me to start some new Homestuck cosplays, actually. I haven't cosplayed from it in years, but I've improved a lot, and I'd like to bring my new skills to costumes that were previously too much for me. I'm planning on making some, if not all, of Rose's outfits for a start. It's convenient that I was also looking to make some more comfy outfits to wear to meetups and conventions anyway. Also looking at a maximum effort God Tier Vriska sometime this year.
Can we get a room thread?
I'm especially looking for rooms that are a little more mature looking as I've moved back from college and my room at home is a little too childish for my tastes now, so I'm searching for inspiration.
The good, the bad, the horror.
Share your stories /cgl/!
I know people love good horror stories, but I'll start with something kind of heart warming.

What he failed to mention is that not only did he produce OG Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go!, he's also the motherfucking president of WB Animation Studios.

This makes me uncomfortable. Why the fuck is everything so tight? Is he a fetishist?
You've got your life together. Decent job. Decent money. You can function in normal society without being a sperg.
You finally have money for cosplay, lolita, conventions, etc. But everyone around you is a poorfag or normalfag or autistic.
Find friends here. No social anxiety depression bullshit.
i will never have kawaii cosplay groups because I'm the only one of my weeby friends with a non-retail job and a car.
>>8951778
All the Lolita's in my comm are under 21. How do you frilly bitches have so much brand at your age.
My only convention friends are tumblrinas who are suddenly trans nonbinary whateversexuals trying to get on benefits so they don't have to work.
>anon are you mad? You never talk to me anymore. I know I don't call or text you at all but muh depression!
I hate feeling like I'm only a friend if I take all the initiative and haha sorry I know this isn't the feels thread.

Which service plan do you usually choose for Buynosaur, 8% or 10% service fee? Is the 10% one worth getting?
>>8950701
does anyone else use Dotdotbuy as their agent? Im really cheap and i havent really had any complaints so far. Ive used to buy smaller things but i wanna know if its a good idea to buy bigger things like full cosplays and junk?
>>8950704
I'm getting the 10, because when it came down to it it would only really be a few bucks difference at most and worth it for the peace of mind of getting order pictures and stuff, imho
Didn't see one in the catalog. Post tutorials and ask all hair related questions. Keep it cute, gulls!
How do you girls deal with hard water? I want to go no-poo, but it just wrecks my hair, even with ACV. I'm going to get a water softener eventually, but I'm sick of deal with it.

Post coords that you don't know what the fuck substyle they are but you like them. Argue about how to categorize them and nitpick/congratulate each other's eclectic tastes.

Clearly aristocrat.
