There were also various doujinshi booths positioned throughout the hall, each of them dealing different merchandise. I was quite surprised to find each booth marketing something unique, giving ACF 2007 a distinct flavor compared to other anime conventions.

For starters, the doujinshi booth set up by Mr. Kalvin Ho focused on marketing artwork, bookmarks, clear holders and magnets revolving around a series of characters known as “We Are Aliens”. What differed it from other anime or manga selling booths, however, was that “We Are Aliens” happens to be a series of characters created from scratch by Mr Kalvin, and is currently licensed and trademarked by his company, Kaieitenjitsu Design. According to Kalvin, the inspiration for “We Are Aliens” came suddenly. He has been in the Doujin circle for almost 5 years now, and to him doujinshi has always been more of an interest than a business opportunity.

However, there were also other vendors that had more of an eye for business, as evident by the stall set up by V from the doujin circle Kamcao. V’s booth focused on selling his group’s first and debut art book, which was basically a compilation of artwork from his doujin circle’s members. According to V, Kamcao consisted of around 10 to 12 people, and while their headquarters were based in Ipoh, they had members from Subang Jaya and Singapore. The art book went on sale for RM 35.

There were also a couple of vendors that set up booths just for the fun of it. One such booth would be Sky Yong’s “Draw Ur Q” booth. For just RM 5, Sky would gladly draw a cute, chibi-fied portrait of you in under 20 minutes. While it may have been his first time setting up such a booth in a public convention, it is sufficient to say that his booth generally garnered a lot of attention. To him, setting up such a doujin booth was something of a personal interest and for him to have some fun. “I’m happy whenever people smile looking at cartoon version of themselves,” said the 24-year old college graduate, who has been drawing for around 4 years now. “I’ll even draw a cartoon portrait of people with their heads attached to a Spiderman costume if they request so!” he jokingly adds.

  +
Finally, there were the usual anime vendors from Anime Tech and Sun Comics that sold a variety of anime merchandise. There was also a food stall selling drinks and snacks.
  +

Even though the last day of ACF (along with the cosplay competition which was supposed to be held on that day) had to be cancelled due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, it was still a pretty enjoyable event that managed to showcase different flavors of doujinshi. From the interest-motivated to the business-orientated, down to the fun-based booths, it is sufficient to say that ACF 2007 was an enjoyable event, so readers should definitely keep their eyes peeled out for an ACF 2008 next year!

Fake Script?

Hey Holycow,

you still got that parody script?

if you do, can you post it up in the fan fiction sub-forum?

It seems a waste to lose, and i'm sure people would love to read it again, or for you to add more to it? :p

regards,

Onizuka-gto 10:10, 22 January 2007 (PST)


Sure, I have it backed up in my hard drive. I'll have it uploaded then. Thanks.

I don't know you managed to put a FMP story in a Haruhi page, but, I've moved it here : User:HolyCow/FMP temp, which seems a more appropriate place.

You can create any subPage storage you want using the syntax[[/a subpage]] and previewing.

ACF 2k7

On the 23rd and 24th of November, a convention by the name of Anime & Comics Fair (ACF) 2007 was held in Berjaya Times Square, 6th floor. The event was originally designated to run for 3 days straight, with a cosplay competition on Sunday, but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstance, the organizers decided to cancel the last day of the event to protect the safety and well-being of both the vendors and cosplayers.

From what I saw on Saturday, ACF 2007 was more doujinshi (fan circles) orientated than anime based. Upon entering, visitors would be greeted by a wall covered with Mahjong Paper. Visitors were encouraged to draw on the said Mahjong Paper using marker pens, and true enough, the wall was soon covered with a variety of drawings. There were also various doujinshi booths positioned throughout the hall, each of them dealing different merchandise. I was quite surprised to find each booth marketing something unique, giving ACF 2007 a distinct flavor compared to other anime conventions.

For starters, the doujinshi booth set up by Mr. Kalvin Ho focused on marketing artwork, bookmarks, clear holders and magnets revolving around a series of characters known as “We Are Aliens”. What differed it from other anime or manga selling booths, however, was that “We Are Aliens” happens to be a series of characters created from scratch by Mr Kalvin, and is currently licensed and trademarked by his company, Kaieitenjitsu Design. According to Kalvin, the inspiration for “We Are Aliens” came suddenly. He has been in the Doujin circle for almost 5 years now, and to him doujinshi has always been more of an interest than a business opportunity.

However, there were also other vendors that had more of an eye for business, as evident by the stall set up by V from the doujin circle Kamcao. V’s booth focused on selling his group’s first and debut art book, which was basically a compilation of artwork from his doujin circle’s members.
