Wellington Cosplayers, time to speak up! By Grassangel. 26/02/11, 06:14 am |
| So er... because I posted a reminder to the LJ community for the post-exam picnic last year, a journalist contacted me via LiveJournal asking to interview Wellington cosplayers in the runup to Armageddon, particularly those planning to compete in the competition. (Her whole Wellington focus is why I'm posting here, rather than in the Wellygeddon forum, unless a mod thinks otherwise.)
This is the comment she left me on a public post:
- Spoiler:
Hi, my name is Kylie Klein Nixon. I'm a journalist for the Wellingtonian newspaper and I'm looking to write a story about Wellington cosplayers in the run up to this year's Armageddon. I wonder if you could get in contcat with me either to be in the story or to put me in touch with some locals who are entering the comp this year.
My email is Kylie.Klein.Nixon at Fairfaxmedia dot co dot nz
or you can call me on 021 556 467, or (wk)04 474 0024
I notice you posted about the cosplayers picnic last year which is why I got in touch with you first.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks!
Since I just kind of dabble and definitely don't compete, I don't suppose someone else would like to interviewed/make this article one of the good ones we love? |

I figure since she did post on a public entry, you could contact her, but I'm sending off an email right now explaining that I wouldn't be much use to her (possibly) and that I brought it up with you guys. I'll ask her whether she wants to be contacted, or if she'd rather contact you. (And I'll let you know the response.)
I think she's asking for cosplayers from Wellington in general, with bonus points for competing at Armageddon. So stop thinking you're all not a 'typical' cosplayer!
EDIT: My e-mail keeps being bounced back, saying the recipient's email address hasn't been found in the system. Not quite sure why, but I solve it later in the morning. |
