ALC Publishing is yet again soliciting submissions for their annual Yuri Monogatori manga anthology.

Thanks for the link! I am very tempted to offer to volunteers as a proofreader. God knows, I have seen some wretched proofreading in printed manga.

to volunteer. to volunteeer. Maybe I should not volunteer. :-D Stupid hitting "post comment" too quickly.

Hee. Even with that, you're still better than some I've seen. :)

Does ALC Publishing liscense the Japanese titles or are they more of an informal group (albeit one with an actual physical press)? Aha, I can't tell.

They both license and publish their own. I'd call them a small press - I think they sell primarily through mail-order and YuriCon (they grew up out of YuriCon).

I saw a yuri anthology in Borders the other day - didn't check to see who published it. It wasn't Yuri Monogatori, that I remember.

Huh. Doesn't say if it pays...

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-08-31 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
No clue. :) If it pays at all, I'd be surprised if it was more than token.

I am tempted, but I think we have enough on our plates for now. Though if we did a short yuri story, we could publish it as a twofer with Spindrift.

PS. Remind me to tell you about my dinner with the guy who used to be an editor at Marvel, who had worked with Rob Liefeld and others of his ilk. He thought you (bases on PBR) were very talented, by the way.

I know. I see it, am tempted, and then go AH GOD NO NOT MORE WORK! XD

(Woo! Although when compared to Liefeld.... *rimshot*)

I am totally down with contributing some hot manga lesbians. But with my drawing skills they would have to be hot stick figure manga lesbians, alas.

With little name tags saying LESBIAN so everyone knows they are?


Surprisingly, Mello doesn't hate lesbians. He thinks he may be one.

TEMPT ME NOT.

Of course if the Goddess of Yuri Manga Art stumbles across this and decides to draw my awesome idea, who am I to say no?
