Lottery numbers are being sent out until March 11.
If you do not receive a lottery number by 5PM ET March 12, contact ANCMarket staff ASASP.
Lottery results will be posted on the Anime North Message Boards March 12 at 8PM ET.
All outstanding applications must be cleared tonight at 12AM. For fairness to other applicants. This means, if ANCMarket staff needed clarification on your application and emailed you, you must reply by 12AM ET.
Good luck to everyone that’s made it this far! Fingers crossed for the lucky individuals that get into the lottery. Remember, even if your application was rejected you can still apply to be a secondary artist to someone else’s table after results are posted.
Note: Don’t forget, you can only be on ONE list/section at a time. This means you cannot apply for ProPlaza if you’re in the Comic Market or the Comic Market waiting list. You cannot be in the Comic Market if you have a table in the Dealers room. And you cannot sell in the Dealers room if you have a Crafters table. Or any variation of the above.
Finally posting from AN. Got to work with an amazing photographer. And I just love the photos I got back. I got to do a lot of cosplays I really wanted to do this year. Going to try posting them this month. Also need to start planning next year's. #animenorth #an17 #animenorth17 #cosplay #cosplayer #sailormoon #sailorjupiter #makotokino #sailorscout #schooluniform #anime #manga
My first Anime North and my third convention overall! This convention was a HUGE boost to my ego, let me tell you!
Friday I was Lance.
Saturday I was Toboe!
Sunday I was Lance with a ‘just’ sign on my back to match my husband’s ‘married’ sign.
Here’s some other photos we took:

I’d show the photos my sister took but her Twitter account is locked!
Going into Anime North, we had a lot of doubts because we heard the horror stories of how it was treating the Artist Alley? So many new rules and regulations and making it difficult for artists to really showcase their works. So we were very “/:” about it. But honestly, despite being one of our less busy conventions to go to, it wasn’t that bad!
@ahniely and I got stopped so many times as Keith and Lance that it really boosted my ego. Even before we got there, someone asked for photos! (They were really cute Sailor Scouts and I’m sad I was too excited for AN to get their photos too. ;;)
We got there before the registration opened and lined up but we probably got stopped a few times before we were even in the line by VLD fan. It was really flattering and really boosted my ego! I still feel a little insecure as Lance because I don’t have his shoes done and his jacket still needs to be finished but that didn’t stop fans’ enthusiasm for pictures!
Friday was a bit of a bad day, weather wise. It was cloudy and even started sprinkling/raining while we were in line. The line management was so fucking stupid, too. After the registration line tappered out, there was another LONG ass line that started up but no one knew what it was for. Honestly, I think a lot of people assumed it was to get into the actual convention but no. It was literally just for entrance into the dealer’s room. But we had to literally go out of our way to ask a staff member what the line was for in order to know that it was for the DR. (Eye roll.) And this was when it started to rain!
I used my jacket to cover my husband and sister from the rain but after checking with staff about the enterance into the Artist Alley, we managed to get out of the rain and got to look around. It was a bit of a bad day because we were excited and I tend to wonder off. So we were a bit terse with each other but we sorted it out!
We also got a lot of pictures taken of us inside the artist alley because people love Klance, haha. So again, it was a huge boost of my ego. We got to meet a lot of cool cats there, too! Kat even got to meet some of his artist friends like Mao! We didn’t really buy anything on Friday that wasn’t available to be paid by a card since we... really didn’t plan to have cash on us? The other two conventions we’ve been to mostly had the option to pay by cash or card but this convention didn’t have many people with Square readers. So we put off buying stuff until Saturday.
Kalyn had a fun time meeting Shilin in person and getting her autograph and her art books. It was so nice seeing my sister get so excited about that and how happy she was after she got the art books. (She got the comics on Saturday and Shilin signed those, too, without my sister even asking! My sister looked so happy to have been remembered, even if it was a day difference.)
Saturday wasn’t as busy as Friday, which was great because it gave us a chance to look around without stopping for photos from time to time, LOL. (Though I do admit, it was kind of sad not to get someone to recognize nor want photos of our Wolfs Rain cosplay, but given how old it is I can’t really say I blame them for not knowing. Not everyone it as obsessed with WR as I still am.)
We got to pick up a lot of prints and stuff we wanted to buy, which was great!
We didn’t stay too long at the convention because we got there at three and left around six. We got there late because we had our wedding ceremony at two and the family wanted to go out for dinner to celebrate around 6-7 so we ended up just staying there long enough to pick up the stuff we wanted to buy and be done with it. We kind of had to rush around because Kalyn wanted to check everything first and we didn’t get to all the places on Friday before going home.
So not much really happened on Saturday since we had other arrangements. But we did manage to pick up everything.
Oh! And Kat commissioned @potatcake for a Killua sketch and honestly? They did so well with the sketch, Kat couldn’t stop smiling after he picked it up! (They weren’t at the table when we picked it up though but Kat is so incredibly thankful for such a beautiful commission!) They have such a pretty style, y’all should really go check them out!
Sunday came and went and it was mostly a day where we just walked around, looking for cosplays and people. We got stopped a lot on this day, too, because we were back in Keith and Lance!
We had ‘Married Just’ signs on our back -- yes, Married Just and not Just Married, c’m’on, folks, you know Keith and Lance would totally fuck up their signs! -- and a lot of people stopped us for pictures of our signs (or pictures of us!) because they thought it was cute.
Some even said it was to ‘show Klance was canon’ and to ‘show (their) friends who ship Klance’ which was cute. We totally support your ships, y’all, keep sending the love!
There were even a couple of friends who asked us if it was just for cosplay or if we actually got married and we told them, gleefully, that we actually got married and they said, ‘That is the CUTEST thing ever!’ Thank you. :’^) We strive to be that couple who does OTPs while being an OTP.
My highlight for Sunday is @ahniely letting me get a x-x faced squid from tenta.co! <:’^) I love it so much.
Overall we didn’t really do much this convention since we didn’t go to any events or hang out with friends, just walked around and bought stuff. And we didn’t even spend that much since Anime North’s new bs which is ‘Artist Alley people can ONLY have paper stuff; charms and other merch are ONLY for Crafts Corner!!!” (Eye roll.) But I guess it helped us save since paper charms are cheaper than acrylic charms. (And we need the money for YetiCon’s merch, LOL.)
But yeah, this convention was really lowkey for us but we enjoyed it so much! It was really great and I’m glad we went and that we could meet everyone.
Thanks to everyone who took pictures of us! I tried finding them on tumblr, twitter and instagram but I don’t think anyone’s posted anything of us, LOL. You guys really are the highlight of this convention and reminded me why cosplay can be so fun and energizing. Thank you!
