Well, if you go by craftsmanship judging guidlines, the one wearing the costume gets a pat on the back and some photos taken, and the one that made it gets the prize ^^ I tend to think of the cosplayer as the one who puts the costume together and wears it, which doesn't really work so well here. My point was more credit where it's due ^^

And I'm not feeling at all threatened, just particularly annoying today ^^ But Nicole is right, it's probably about time to put this particular debate to rest ^^ I can find something else to amuse me torrow, I suppose.
