I did say that I did not really like people using the word 'otaku'. However, nothing shows us your height of love for anime, manga and the like better than showing us what you've got!
You can post anything to prove your point, from photos of your collection, knowledge in a particular field, or even persistantly saying someone else's opinion about a character is wrong, even if they may be right, just cause you don't want to lose your current image of that character (okay, maybe that's a little too far). No need to post everything at once. I think it's more fun to gradually let everything out and build a little suspense up.
I guess I'll start first.
(Spoiler tagged to save viewing room; this does not spoil anything... Except what the crowd looks like?.....)
I don't have much access to a lot of things (being 3 in the morning), so here's a picture from Japan that I can upload atm. This is the overnight line for the third day of Comiket 77 (31st December, 2009) at around 8:30am, as the staff is about to move the people in closer to the venue. And if you were wondering, yes, I am part of that line and am taking the photo. I lol at the guy in the front =).
The line started at about 10:10-10:30pm of the previous day. Took us 10 minutes to find the line, then another 15 once we found the FRONT of the line to follow the trail to find the BACK of the line. Darn the crowd.
There are not many females doing the overnight thing, though they DO make up more than 50% of the total crowds
