Awesome, more people! I'll nudge Aragorn to update the list some time. XD

I'll get back to everyone about meeting up and photoshoots and such once I have a rough idea of who is coming when.

Which brings me to my next point - if everyone can let me and Taldur know which day they'll be cosplaying from LOTR, that'd be super helpful!

Note: this group is also over on the MCM forums. I've added everyone from this thread to the list over there, under your CI usernames.

I'll be doing LOTR on the Sunday, Game of Thones is happening on Saturday =P

Update ^^

As my Sunday costume for Oct Expo is quite sizeable I've changed my plans around a bit. I'll be doing Council of Elrond version of Legolas. Not sure which day yet out of the Friday or Sat.

Wow, niceee...

Due to money issues, Aragorn (Taldur) and Legolas (myself) won't be attending the meet. I literally can't afford to get Legolas together and my friend might not even be able to get to expo itself, so...

Obviously you guys can still all meet up and take photos, etc, and if I can I'll head on down to take some photos of you all. It's just unfortunate but Amecon kinda drained my bank account... XD

Sad to hear that .

I'm more likely to be part of this now as my costume plans have changed to allow for me to wear Legolas. Not sure which version yet. Might try and get either the Council robes together or the Coronation verison together.

*update* Now wearing my Legolas on Sunday due to a change in plans. Looking forward to seeing any LOTR cosplayers there ^^.

hey all.
If you are cosplaying lord of the rings. we are planning a meet on sunday at 1 if dry at the steps outside if wet in enterance to excel centre I hope some of you can make it.

Hello!
I'm new here and its great to meet fellow LOTR cosplayers, just a quick question;
how do you get around the rules of not being allowed metal or replica weapons for your costumes? Or do you take in metal (blunt of course) blades and just be careful and not wave them about and poke peoples eyes out.

I'm planning to make a sword from wood or plastic...

Metal replica swords are only allowed out for photos. That is the rule. Have you been on The FB page for Tolkien Cosplayers? We got a lot of people planning on joining us on the up coming may and oct Expos. If not here is a link
Tolkien Cosplayers

There is also a more up to date thread for the next expos
PM me for more info

This is planned for the next expo, anyone else interested in joining us?

If so, name your costume(s) below (repeats are fine).

You can of course dress as any of the book, film, or even your own charcters. This is TOLKIEN group - so don't limit yourself just to films!

I hope some of you will like to go as the fellowships enemy's too

The plan for may expo as it stands is
Step 1
Meet for both sat and sunday at about 1 in the downstairs hallway near other end of expo, the media tend to be down there and I'd like to promote this group and maybe we can make it into some you tube videos.

Step 2
Head to the steps/ grass out front enjoy a Tolkien pic nic between Tolkienist's and various other peeps who may be joining us. Then finish lunch probably about 2.

Step 3
Get snappy, lets take some fun photos and action shots outside and make them as original and fun as possible.

Step 4
finish of and do whatever the hell you guys want to weather that be going your own way or with us it's all about fun and bringing the best out in us all
