And Still More On The BL Front
Man, keeping tabs on this is getting almost as bad as the latest anime blog drama.
Still, Boys Next Door has the latest on the Iris Print front, in which Kiriko Moth (who is, by the way, an amazing artist), who notes that she was never paid for her work on the cover of the ill-fated BL Twist magazine, nor for her inking work on one of Iris’ comics.
Meanwhile, Kellie Lynch has finally spoken: Iris is actually not making an appearance at Yaoi Jamboree, so people can call off the dogs as far as the con is concerned. Lynch says she simply forgot to tell them that she wasn’t coming, but there are certainly no books being sold there.
And one of the writers, R.W. Day, says she has now been paid by Lynch, via Paypal. That leaves everyone else still paycheck-less, but it’s a start.
Oh, and Lynch finally officially confirmed that Iris is shutting down.
Okay, let’s take a breath and relax for a bit now.

Ohh, fandom. It can go professional, but it never sheds the duh-rama XD
Hey Gia! I’m so glad I saw you for at least a brief moment at Fanime — hope the Gainax panel was halfway decent ^_^ Hey, if you ever get a spare moment I’d love to chat with you about a couple things regarding writing and publishing — I think my email address will be attached to this comment ^_^;;
Anyhow, I hope you’re doing fantastically — take care! Hope to talk to you soon!
