News: FanX - Scavenger Hunt Game!

Hello readers! Thank you for being awesome and I cannot wait to see many of you at the Fan Experience, or FanX, this weekend here in Utah.

Link cosplayer is Cody.

In other news: The Cosplay Stitch and Seam was featured by Fantasy Con! Fantasy Con will be in July and you can see the feature they did here. Thank you!
