Otakon!

It's looking much more certain that I'll make it to Otakon this year! Since it's a particularly special occasion, I plan to cosplay as Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 (Advent Children style). I already have the hair for it, lol!

Since the convention is going to take place from August 8 - 10, and I want to advertise the contest while I'm there, it looks like the best time to hold the contest will be either right after Otakon or even overlapping it. There are two major concerns, however; the first one is that there will be too much going on during and/or right after the convention for me to properly keep up with things here. The other concern is that, if I start the contest too late, most potential entrants will have already started the new school year and will be too occupied to participate. Certainly the latter takes priority...and, well, being unavailable for a few days in the midst of things wouldn't be that big of a deal, right?

So, those of you who are currently students, when does your new (fall) term begin? Please post the date if you know it, and I'll take this info into consideration when deciding on the contest timeframe. Thanks much!
