Unfortunately this is a touch late for Halloween =X
This was initiated as an emergency fundraiser for an awful situation for an M/M site owner stuck overseas as discussed here. As a number of you know, I'm on on other art sites, and given the urgency of the funds, I ran the fundraiser where I knew I had the greatest presence and could get funds the fastest--for some perspective, the last TKLFrat fundraiser took around a month to complete. I thus ran a hasty YCH (my first YCH!) themed around Halloween and got a pretty good turnout; after it was completed, I got permission from the varying participants to convert it to a more general-audience image...which I just completed now! I did tweak a fair number of things, especially since I didn't have full control over the characters (given that it's a YCH) and the original was a touch cluttered.

My backstory is that, let's be real, when most bars run a Halloween costume contest, generally the girls have a distinct advantage. This is a local sports bar instead of a gay bar, and it's the only one on campus known for the men having any chance of winning, so the participants make the most of it...not to mention that usually it's No Shirt/No Shoes/No Service, and that rule is clearly out the window right now.

Dunno who won the contest, but we're all winners here

Let's see how many of the costumes you can ID without looking at the tags! There's a number of generic ones (lifeguard, jester, devil, pirate, mad scientist, wrestler, gladiator, Aztec warrior, mummy), but the rest are actually specific characters/people...most selected by the participants, but a few I added on my own.
I'm particularly curious if anyone can identify me in the bottom left corner; I was told by the anime club in college that I was spot on facially for a certain character, and it's a pretty good match...I've never gone to a con in costume, but I may try it sometime!

All characters (c) their owners
