i want to go too.
Yes, include me in as well, I'd love to go :0 :(
I ship those characters together.
In other news, I wish I could go.
cute plug for GLF, but the pictures for the circle cuts... those last few were hawt!
I love how the pros are so into these events. Amano seems rarin' to go, Takemiya was talking about it on Twitter yesterrday, and the likelihood Morishima wouldn't go is practically nil.
I also like how they're so on-board with the rules. Some fans in the west could do to emulate them.
I love it when she does these type "stories" lol. I hope Takemiya does something like this for GLF afterwards. I want to go to this so badly... it would be a lot of fun to meet the yuri goddesses :D
Takemiya Jin is at GLF too, and she apparently is hearing people having sex in the room next to hers lol. Or theres geese in that room (from her twitter) xD

hmmm.... might be fun if she turned one of those goose stories into a cutesey little one shot. it'd be a "fly-on-the-wall" account of indiscretions at GLF.

bah, that would be too hard for a lot of Americans. it is practically an unwritten rule that "rules are meant to be broken." meaning? rules, schmules. we don't have to follow no stinkin' rules!

Some of the rules are different from america for sure. A lot of people i know cosplayers that go to fast food restaurants and stores around conventions (though some bring food from home since it gets expensive). I do wish i learned a few rules about conventions when i first went to one because i go screamed at by an old guy when i only touched a sword briefly...i mean i didn't know he could of said that without screaming at me like if i was trying to steal it ;; ( i was 15 and you need to be 18 to be able to even touch a sword)
luv it!
What's the original (Japanese) name of this one-shot?

Thank you very much!

As someone who has never been to an event like this (actually someone who avoids large social gathers out of principle) I still feel a few of these riles are a bit ridiculous. Like not wearing cosplay outfits to and from the event. Excuse me but I don't think you have the right to tell me what I can and can not wear, especially considering we are talking about something that occurs outside of the event itself.

It's not about "rights". You're taking a Western mindset, asserting your personal freedom over all other considerations, but it's one that they would consider selfish over there. These rules - or to call them what they actually are, requests - are intended to avoid having the event cause problems, not only for the participants at the site but with regard to the event's impact on and interaction with the surrounding neighborhood.
Too many complaints to the venue about the behavior of the attendees and the event won't be allowed back at that same venue again. That would be a serious matter, given that this kind of event is most likely already restricted in which spaces would be willing to host it. If the event forms a bad reputation, even those few would quickly start refusing to allow not only this particular event, but other yuri events by association.
This is how things work in Japan, where reputations and the avoidance of what others might consider as causing problems is important to maintaining business relationships.

I am well aware of Japan's collectivist mindset. I understand it but that doesn't necessarily mean I have to like it. I'm just complaining for the sake of complaining . (That is what the internet is for after all. Well that and porn. )
I'm pretty sure cosplayers anywhere in the world don't wear their outfits to or from the events. Those things take a lot of work and and I would feel so sick if something happened to it because I wore it to the event instead of putting it on in the hotel room.
As for the "they dont have the right to tell me what to wear" silliness they can just not let you into the event too. Some rules are there for your protection. Think about the police here in 'Murica. They like to shoot first and then claim they felt threatened later. What if you were cosplaying a character with a weapon?
Not sitting down inside the event area and reading your yuri? Have you ever seen the crowds outside of Comiket? If you have, it's worse inside because it's enclosed.
Photoshoots in the event area would cause congestion and someone could get hurt.
Not camping outside of the event area so you get closer spot in line, there are a crazy amount of creepers and perverts in japan, not to mention other dangers that want to prey on women.
Those rules/requests are not there to infringe on your rights, they are there for safety and also for the consideration of others. There's a time and a place for squealing about your rights being trampled upon, an event like this isn't one of them; and especially not if you're a westerner, you'll just make the rest of us look bad.
Yup this is exactly why I can't go, I would be kicked out for drooling on the floor after 10 mins. Jokes aside the "rules" aren't really difficult is more like common sense: don't bother others so they don't bother you. Kitsune Spirit explained everything well.

As I said earlier, I was just complaining for the hell of it. I understood the reasoning, I just didn't care. I have a bad habit of getting all nit-picky and complaining about shit that really isn't any of my goddamn business and for that I'm sorry. Though I suppose its better that I act like a bitch on the internet than pick fights in real life.
To give it to you straight, I wasn't thinking clearly at the time and decided to complain about something I knew nothing about simply because it seemed like an easy target. Again, sorry.
Gah!! If I knew this existed, I would have gone! I'm definitely going to the next one in March! But I need to find out where it is and rules of attending. I can't read Japanese. x-x

They plan to hold GLF 13 in "大田区産業プラザPiO" on March 1, 2015. Rules should be as outlined in this comic. Check http://www.lovefes.info/ for date or location changes. Google the location to find it on the map; Google can also give you directions on how to get there. If you revive this thread closer to that date, helpful individuals might be able to confirm some of that information for the kanji-challenged.
Anyone ever seen what Amano Shunita looks like, would love to see a picture of her (him?)

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken. I'm not a huge event cosplayer, but in the SCA medievalist society it's considered almost de rigueur to wander around the normal world in medieval garb in between the event. It's known as "freaking the mundanes". Aside from being amusing, it also seems to operate as a way of letting potentially interested people know such things exist.
That was the only one of the rules that made me wonder a bit. Are the Japanese really so straitlaced that they'd be roused to get upset about an event because some people were seen wandering around in odd costumes? Surely odd fashion and costumes are a thing in Japan independent of convention events.
It actually seemed as if the rules in general, while quite sensible, were to some extent trying to set up or emphasize a distinct culture among yuri lovers from the general otaku-con-culture. Something a bit more refined and less frantic. I've noticed in otaku-oriented manga like Genshiken, there's a whole mythology surrounding the massive, chaotic lineups and the surging hordes and the flaking out anywhere to check out your loot and in general a certain ethos of throwing dignity to the winds in the pursuit of true fandom. It's about the frenzy and the hubbub. This little guide seems to be working a "We're different from that. We're yuri, which is all about lovely flowers. We do elegant and civilized instead of crazy." kind of angle. So I wonder if rules like "No cosplaying outside" are actually specific to this event and drawing a distinction from other otaku events?
Yeah from what we can see in manga, it look more like there are no rules and try your best to survive x)
In other note, can someone explain why it's LTR and not RTL?

Maybe so. As for the straitlaced bit, its hard to find a culture more straitlaced than Japan, so probably.
