Before it was buried on the tagboard a few of you might have noticed the announcement that Torso has given an interview to the Toronto Star featuring Sublunary for an article on the recent development of the yaoi subculture. Or something to that effect. The article is schedualed to print on May 7th in The Toronto Star. So be sure to pick up a copy. If Torso and I are unable to scan it right away I'm sure someone will be kind enough to ^_^

Now to answer a few questions (despite how impolitely they may or may not have been asked):
1. Yes I have been credited with my role, thanks for making that important. It was the first thing I asked too ^^;;
2. There will be a picture, hopefully eaturing both of us but possibly only Torso. Not sure as of yet.
3. Torso found out about the interest and contacted the interviewer, and was in turn interviewed. Unfortunatly Subby is not famous enough (yet) that we were approached. I make it the goal of the fans to change that.

Also, to clear up a few more things I've answered often in PMs:
-No, we will not have an artist table at this AN. AN's registration scheme is royally screwed up this year, IMO, and I'm actually somewhat happy we managed to escape it despite our personal troubles that prevented registration in the first place. Hopefully they'll get their act together for next year, when we may have a table once again. CNAnime in August is still undecided...or even talked of. I'll make a note to talk about that with her.
-Yes, as far as I know we will both be attending the con despite not having a table. We already have a hotel room, of course. If there are cosplayers please comment here, we'll get together for a shoot at some point or another.
-Yes we're discussing the future of the comic. No, I can't tell you what that future is yet. Behave, be nice, and maybe you'll be rewarded. Remember, we'll want to return to it more if people aren't tearing off each other's limbs verbally on the tagboard. It's looking hopeful, and that's all you'll get from me for now.

And now for a note from our sponsers our artist:
"Obviously I've been missing in Sublunary action for quite some time now, but I had my reasons for leaving, just as I have my reasons for coming back. Ree and I were going through a really rough patch, and it was extremely hard on me. When you're depressed, it screws up a lot in your life, and that turn continues to make you more depressed. The last thing I wanted to deal with was more conflict through the comic and with Reena.
Things are clearing up, slowly, since we're working our way forward slowly. We both want to continue the comic, because I do love it very much, regardless of the stress it's caused me. I want to see and show all the plot twists we have in store, I want to finish it and know we've done something that has been enjoyed by so many people.
So, yes, I will start coming back here, and although I didn't intend to start a flamewar I suppose it can't be helped -_-; "


And back to me: Guys, please TRY not to start issues, alright? We, as in us, as in your artist and writer, are precariously balanced right now. We're doing the best we can to make us work and clean up our issues. Try not to be rude on the tagboard and give us more stress. You've been supportive, a whole lot of you. I know it's selfish to keep asking for more support, but if you're willing then we could really use it. If you don't want to support us, just wait quietly. Thanks again guys.

Congrats on getting noticed and written up in the papers.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for a scanned copy (I'm nowhere near Canada *g*).

I support y'all in all of your endeavors and with everything that you will be doing. And no, it's not selfish to keep asking for support - it's a delicate situation that you're in, and I know it well.

So again, good luck and here's lots of support *hands over a bag o' support*

Hmmm I'm really currious about that article... Hoping for a scanned version since Canada is kind of on the other side of the Atlantic, so I proberly won't be able to buy my own copy...

Good luck with solving everything and take your time! We'll all wait and see what comes of it! Glad to see Torso back, too! ^^

"No, we will not have an artist table at this AN. AN's registration scheme is royally screwed up this year, IMO"

Amen to that. My studio got slotted out because of... Well I have no idea what happened but I sure don't have a booth anymore.
*insert rampent cussing here*
But ooh nifty you'll be at AN too??
*stalk stalk stalk*

Will you guys try to arrange an unofficial meet and greet time and/or place or will it just be an "If we see you say hi"?

(Are you going to the Guest Brunch on friday? I might be able to gawk at you there then...)

As per keeping order on the boards and everyone playing nice, I'll try to keep that, as well.
Everyone's mature here [oh, god, I hope so], so it shouldn't be asking for miracles.

Heh, that'd be awesome, for a Sublunary panel... if not, we could always just arrange a 'fooding' trip... meet up, hang out at the Harveys, or at the sushi place, or something.

I'll see what I can do about organizing that, if you'd be favourable towards it.

As well, as per some questions regarding the interview; if I have the time [which I most likely will] I can transcribe it and post it on the board for those unable to see it.
Mightn't be as good as a scan, but it's better then nothing..

The awesomest Zaria you will EVER know here!

Wow! I'm so happy for you guys! [and selfishly happy for myself too... Rawr.]

Ouuu... Newspaper... I'll write that date down... Otherwise I'm bound to forget it...

And I'll be at AN! So will Yuki! I'm still going to be cosplaying Cantor and I'm pretty sure that Yuki'll be doing Oliver... Hahaha... That sounds WRONG. OH! But I won't be coming on the Friday [which makes me very sad] because my school is having a show that night. We're putting on the thrid act of Pride and Prejudice! You guys should totally come and see! Holy jeez, that'd be cool...

Alright... Enough rambling now... Ta and see you at AN!

Okay, I'm not new to the computer world (or the use of acronymns?), but I'm still confused...

AN (is this anime nation by any chance?)? IMO? *confused...decides it's okay* What convention where that requires cosplayers?

Congratulations on the article. *waits for scans* That'll be fun. Too bad I'm nowhere near that area, so I can't purchase it, although I'm sure even if I did manage to find it, one of my classmates may just take it away from me with a "It's mine now" grin on her face.

And good luck. Asking for support is hardly selfish.

I must say, this is a most pleasing announcement. And Not for the comic! Unexpected to be sure, but then again no one expected the Spanish Inquisition!

I just wanted to wish you both the best of luck. And personally, I hope that things reach clarity for you two, even at the sake of the comic.

I'm a crazy little romantic boy, and I wish you two the best in every endevor. Bon chance!

It's not selfish at all to ask for more support. You guys deserve it. That's awsome about the article in the paper. Is someone here able to scan a copy because I couldn't get a hold of one.

I'd just like to say you have my full undying support. I love this comic! Both of you have such talent. I'm envious!

Cheers and take care!!!

By the way, I just thought of this, but, I comissioned a picture at CN last year from Sarah, and I still have her money. ^^;;; so if someone could pass the message along for her to bring my doujinshi, I can pay her! (I still have her money in an envelope. XD)

Hopefully, I'll see you both at the con. ^^
