Met an Author and some Cosplayers on day 1 of Book Fair Leipzig

Hello everyone,

The first of the "Leipziger Buchmesse" is over now, I met interesting people had some greatsinterviews and made even better pictures.

It all started with a meet and greet with Michael Peinkofer, the author of books like "Die Bruderschaft der Runen", "Das Buch von Ascalon" and others, who presented his new work "Das Vermächtnis der Runen" - (http://www.luebbe.de/Buecher/Historisches/Details/Id/978-3-7857-2494-1)

It was very interesting, when he was talking about the steps of producing a book, doing the research, the writing itself, which music he's listening (especially film music or classic stuff, depending on the mood, which is needed in the current chapter - no vocals), while writing, the way, he's getting inspirations and also about some general experiences he made over the years.
He also explained the teamwork of the different parts of producing a book, not just the author, who's relevant, but also the lectors, the publisher and their cooperation all together.

For his actual masterpiece he was working for a half year.
It was an interesting interview and the minutes went by so quickly, the time was really flying and ended with a personally signed book for everyone of us and a picture .

After that I visited every hall and met very many cosplayers in the Anime/Manga/Comic section in hall 1, the Manga-Comic-Convention area of the fair. Some of them I allready met last and sadly couldn't remember, shame on me...
We shared our experiences about Anime, Manga and Games, e.g. the upcomming Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD-Remastered for PS3 and PS Vita. I also talked about some Japan-Stuff, someone recommended me Kyoto and Osaka, we were also talking about some kinda secret sights in Tokyo.

To share my impressions, I present some pictures to you, enjoy.
