My Cosplay "Self-Help" Program (needs member input
Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 12:25 am
Greetings! 
Okay, so I'm new here, but please don't hold that against me.
What I'm proposing here, is a program in which one would answer several multiple choices,
and cosplay options will be supplied based on their answers.
The purpose for said program should be apparent.
Instead of everyone making threads asking "who should I cosplay as?",
they can simply start up my little program, and get whole world of suggestions.
Now, I know exactly how to make it...
However, I need some input.
So, with the help of the members of this wonderful little site
I've stumbled upon, I would like to get started immediately.
Note: I may sometimes forget to update this post,
but I will always update my journal on Gaia.
Don't worry, you don't have to have an account to read it.

Program:
The ground work is pretty much finished,
but I'd like to hear from you all about what kinds of questions I should include.
Questions:
"Are you male or female?"
"How long is your hair?"
"What color is your hair?"
"How tall are you?"
"How big are you?" (as in chubby or slim)
"Guys - How buff are you?"
"Gals - What size are you?" (chest-wise)
"What color are your eyes?"
"What color is your skin?"
"What color/s do you like?"
"What color/s do you hate?"
"Crossplay?" (will display characters opposite your gender who are dubbed "crossplayable")
Anime/Manga Resources:
Absolute Anime (thanks to NinjaFerret)
Anime News Network (thanks to NinjaFerret)
AniPike.com (thanks to Sabbath)
FanFiction.net (thanks to Yumi_Kirei)
Videogame Resource:
GameFAQs (thanks to myself)
(this is to be the only VG resource, as it covers everything I need for every game that exists)
(...however, if you find a better VG resource than GameFAQs, I'd love to hear about it in a PM)
Other Info:
Now, the colors thing is more useful than it sounds.
For instance, if I say I like silver, black, and blue,
but I hate orange, pink, and purple,
I may end up getting Sasuke Uchiha, whom has all my fav. colors,
rather than Naruto, who wears orange, or Sakura (if I chose to crossplay).
And a note about the "crossplayable" thing:
I realize that anyone can crossplay as anyone,
but I'm talking about characters who are, for instance, male,
but look as though they could be female, and vice versa.
For crossplay that is not labeled as "crossplayable",
simply choose the opposite gender at the beginning.
Requested Info:
Sites that have information about already-existing anime/manga.
Sites that update constantly and inform of newly released anime/manga.
