Building a following is exciting, but success can also change how creators treat fans, fellow creators, convention staff, and even their own friends. Join a panel of experienced cosplayers as they discuss how to grow an audience while staying humble, professional, and authentic. We’ll talk about handling popularity, avoiding entitlement, setting healthy boundaries, collaborating instead of competing, accepting constructive criticism, and remembering that your community is made up of people, not just views and engagement. Hosted by Jessica Crouse, with panelist Corey Morgan.
