You may have noticed a few changes around here at YaoiSuki. That's because we've moved to a new host, and in the process upgraded and altered a bunch of our features (most notably: embedded wiki and better forums). Unfortunately, we lost our user database in the move, so those of you who were signed up will unfortunately need to sign up again. It's a pretty painless process though!

Updates from Yaoi Magazine, Deux, and 801 |

It must be roll call time for BL companies, 'cause we're suddenly getting quite a few "HERE!"s. First up: Yaoi Magazine sent out a press release announcing that they'd already gotten more than 300% of the number of preorders they'd expected. You can see samples, submit stories, and/or snag your copy on their site.
Next up, Deux Press has a MySpace account! I know because they friended me. I never use that thing though. If you do, be buddies with Deux here.
And finally, 801 Media! Some of you may have noticed that 801 never offered up that Christmas present of new license announcements (*cough*). They now promise that we'll get our goodies on Valentine's Day. They also had a few printing problems with new titles, so if you're wondering why you haven't snagged them yet...
Our printer printed the pages of both The King of Debt and The Prime
Minister's Secret Diplomacy out of order...twice. So we had to print
the books 3 times!!! We have some advanced copies on sale at the 801
Media Inc. store, also Akadot Retail has some copies and so does
Right Stuf International.
Yipe. Well, that's all the updates we have for today. Stay tuned!

According this this entry on what appears to be Yaoi Magazine's blog, the first issue has been printed.
The website for the magazine is here.
Also, there is a trailer up for Duel Love that you can see online at this Japanator article. Sadly, it sounds like the game actually has a plot. Does it really need one?

So we haven't heard a word from Iris Print since they announced that they were cancelling BL Twist, but today we got a letter-- and anyone else on Iris' e-mail list did as well --from editor/owner Kellie Lynch, explaining the situation of her company.
You can read the full letter after the jump, but the basic sum-up is: the company has run out of funds (or rather, run out of credit). Lynch is the only full-time employee and she is going back to a regular 9-5 job to pay off the company's debt, but she is not closing the company at this time.
If you want to help the company, she offers three methods.
First, pre-order Iris' pending books. They need 150 preorders of Home on the Range and 250 for Queer Magic to make their print runs viable. (I suspect that buying their other books wouldn't hurt either.)
Second, as Lynch can no longer work full-time on Iris, she's hoping to find some helpers-- editors, typesetters, web programmers, etc. There's no pay involved, but anyone who helps will be "fully credited." Contact her here if you want to help.
And finally, for the broke and busy, you can help by taking a quick survey.
What does the future hold for Iris Print? That remains to be seen.
