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!

I have a few bits of news from Sakuracon. We went by the Media Blaster tables to ask them about the Thunderbolt Boys Excite misprint. This missing pages from volume 1 are printed in the back of volume two. The reps pointed out that the pages can be taken out of volume 2 and slipped into the appropriate places in volume 1. They said they will email us about the pages being available on their website. So, that seems to be all the action they are taking at this time.
We also went to the Broccoli Panel. They talked a little about Boysenberry, but mostly up front after the main panel. They said that the titles they have licensed are all light in terms of mature content; naughty bits are hidden. I asked them about making or importing yaoi merchandise. They don't have any plans to right now, but seem open to the idea. They had said earlier in the panel that they do sometimes import merchandise that people had requested of them via email.
Yaoi Press had a panel where they announced three artbooks. They will have artbooks coming out by Studio Kosen and Laura Carboni. Laura Carboni's book will be called Senso Vietato.
They had a few other announcements. Saihoshi will be coming out in a single volume that collects the whole story. Yaoi Press will be bringing Italian creators Dany&Dany to Yaoi-Con. Interestingly, they mentioned that Studio Kosen will be doing work with with a yaoi publisher that previously only put out works licensed from Japan. They could not say more then that, though. Yaoi Press is again looking for submissions to fill specific needs that they have. Details are after the jump.

There are three specific things that Yaoi Press needs right now. When submitting, it is good to state that you are looking to fill one of these specific needs. That will help get your submission looked at. If you are a writer you need to show that you can work with an artist who may not speak English well. Yaoi Press is looking more for writers than artists right now.
They need someone to do a 30-60 page cover story for Yaoi Volume 2. There is also a need for stories to go into Yaoi Hentai volume 5. Fewer writers submit for this series and fewer artists want to draw for it, so submitting for Yaoi Hentai is the best way to break into publishing with Yaoi Press. They also want to do a three volume series. This submission slot is open until May 1. Each volume needs to be at least 100 pages. This series will have either an adult or a mature rating. They are moving away from the young adult books a bit at this time. This series needs to have 'full depictions' of sex scenes. |
