Tokyopop Manga Online

As the November issue of Tokyopop's Manga Online (neé Takuhai) has gone live as of today, I shall make the official announcement:

An edited version of my two essays on visual flow in manga has been posted as Manga Online's How-To of the Month.


=====================

And a pimp for anyone who comes by: I am also seeking submissions of original manga short stories for an anthology I and some friends will be publishing ourselves. We're willing to work with you to an extent, and if you are an artist looking for a writer or a writer looking for an artist, we can hook you up! Information can be found at the PandaBuddha website.


=====================

[another edit] Just found this quote. Has nothing to do with manga, but I liked it anyway.
"Libraries are brothels for the mind, and librarians are the madams, greeting customers, understanding their strange tastes and needs, and pimping books."

WOO! I'm so pouncing on that.

Also, question: What's the absolute deadline for manga submissions for the anthology next year?

And will it be rated PG-13 etc? I think there was talk of an adult anthology at some point, but I don't remember if that was going to be a seperate publication or not.

I think the deadline for already-completed stories (i.e., ones that they don't want to rewrite or do any redrawing on) is March 1st, and the deadline for queries is January 1st.

This one will be PG-13. I'm all for doing an adult one in time for next year's Yaoi-Con.

Sweet! Thanks for the quick reply. I'm just trying to sketch out a rough timeframe for my production schedule the rest of the year.

:D Me, too. Which is why I'm not doing anything else major until Project: Blue Rose is complete. XD
