Tokyopop Manga Online

[telophase]

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."

--Guy Browning, The Guardian, October 18, 2003

Eee! Congrats!

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.

Congratulations on successful essay!

Libraries are brothels for the mind

That's a great quote. And now I am feeling all nostalgic for Planescape, the CRPG that had a Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts. Talking to the prostitutes there was more fun than almost anything else in the game.

Congrats!

I was bummed, thinking I'd missed the PandaBuddha deadline. Does this mean I could still submit something...?

Cool! Go you!

So it's just up to January 1st to tell you that I want to do PandaBuddha? Or is it up to the 1st to have a finished story? XD;; Because if it's the former, I'm so in it ain't even funny (I swear, January is going to be dubbed "Comic Month"- I'm taking a course on comics and doing comics...it's like my dream come true!)
