No. 769
This is from the Fanime Masquerade rules for 2010 (cached page on Google):
>All costumes must be based on Asian film, such as characters from Battle Royale (Japan) or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (China), Asian animation, such as the Japanese animation Naruto or the Korean animation Wonderful Days, Asian comics, such as the Japanese Card Captor Sakura, Korean Model, or Chinese Story of the Tao, Asian-origin video game, such as Final Fantasy or Ragnarok Online, or Asian music stars (such as Malice Mizer or Morning Musume). Also acceptable is Asian-inspired anime, such as Avatar. The rule of thumb is: if the series and/or character originated anywhere else than the Pacific, it doesn’t qualify. If you aren’t sure, ask.
The costumes would not be from an Asian media source, but since it would be a crossover, I'd ask. I don't know who to ask, but you should check out the Fanime forums, they're pretty useful, and may have a related topic. Also keep in mind that the rules can change from year to year - but usually they get stricter, so don't get your hopes up.
Personally, I most likely will not be attending Fanime this year (and I could go on a rant about how unprofessional Rovers staff are). I should be around at least on Saturday for Wondercon, without costume because I'm broke/lazy/all of the above, but I could be a stage ninja/handler for a Wondercon skit if that happens and it's needed.
