It isn't just about the attention, I do what I do because I'm passionate about the characters. Maybe it's just the area that I'm in? I don't get completely ignored, but people tend to be a bit stand-offish towards me. I've been a part of a few popular yaoi duos, such as Vash & Wolfwood and Dante & Vergil, but it's pretty hit and miss.

Huh. Maybe it's the region, but I've crossplayed at numerous conventions all across the West coast, from Vancouver to LA, and even abroad in Japan (hah well not abroad anymore) and it has always been very well received. Sure, attention and awards might be expected at Yaoi Con for going as a popular slash couple, but I and my Subaru won at regular conventions, as well? I've never encountered a hostile attitude, personally. It doesn't hurt to do a little fanservice, though, either ;3

It goes without saying, I should expect, but do you resemble Vash/Wolfwood or Dante/Vergil? Not just in face, but in stature? It's one of those unfortunate truths of cosplay that people seem to give a million more shits about character resemblance (and conventional attractiveness) than costuming, at times. Our group's Wolfram was slim and cute and a natural blond, but had an admittedly rather half-assed outfit, yet was showered with attention by fangirls, while much better-dressed, but wigged or chubby or unattractive Wolframs were ignored.
