Otaku Fest [last February, sa U.P.]

[Hidan]

Last question: Can I cuss onstage during the skit because the character I am cosplaying cuss' a lot?

[newmoonmaiden]

@psyccaliente: you're given 1 week to preregister so that the judges can study the characters you'll be portraying.

@limunsito: wala pa nahuman ang registration sa bisag unsa nga contest. Huwat huwat lang ug updates kung pila ang registration

@hidan: There's nothing in the rules about cussing, but I hope you cuss in another language as it's harder to imitate for the impressionable children in the audience.

Okay thanks. hehehehe.
