Story Foreword:
Costume Party has an interesting tale of how it
came to be. During the early parts of 2020, before the
Covid Pandemic happened, I had started to take on
making stories for the community on commission. Extra
money is always nice, most of us aren’t so well off that
we wouldn’t be glad for the additional funds, but that
wasn’t the reason I decided to sell my craft. I had met a
friend in a different community and wanted to help her
out through hard times. She was doing her best, but the
world often doesn’t let up due to genuine efforts, so I
decided I would use the money earned from commissioned
stories to help her myself. I wrote a few others when I was
approached about the idea of Konata wearing a diaper and
dressing infant-like at a party with the other characters
of Lucky Star. A loose pitch to be sure, but I thought
about it and molded the notion into something usable.
That granted me a certain confidence for sure, but once
the job was done part of me began to feel the story was
more than the first chapter. That a one shot wouldn’t
leave me satisfied. It would have been unreasonable to
expect a commissioner to fund the length the story
ultimately became for sure. Costume Party isn’t a perfect
story to be sure. I wanted to make something funny,
romantic, and still was allured by punishment elements too.
All these things came together in the final product for
better or worse. Most importantly though, I found I had
the stamina once again to go beyond single issue
thoughts and make something longer. It was another
blow against that depression that kept me from writing for
so long and will always have that meaning. This was also
my first time trying to give the extended cast love and
Misao, in the way I wrote her, would come to be a favorite
of mine and stole the spotlight in nearly every scene she
found her silly way into.
