On My Way Out…

The door that is, and other things.

Cancellations…yep, if anything I’m predictable.

Not having a solid answer on the sales table front at Yaoicon, forced me to cancel. I would’ve missed Friday, because I’m required to be on set during that week [why, I have no clue—it’s just a requirement] and I didn’t want to be stuck with the hassle of ‘if you/re not going to be here all the days, we’d rather sell a table to a creator that can.’ It’s just business really, but I have a feeling that by the time they announce tables, I’ll be stuck on a waiting list—and not being there on a Friday, will certainly bump me down on that list.

Another thing I canceled was Yaoi North. The person who invited me contacted me this morning about a reimbursing my airfare/room at the con, and I said sure—but then I emailed her back. It’s been no secret these past few months that I’ve lost my love for GloBL as a business, and so I wouldn’t make a very good guest to invite there to talk about it.  I was fine until Ikkicon, but after Ikki, I realized that I have no stomach for the bullshit. I still read it, I still write it, but I’m just not down with the talking heads and the business side of it anymore. And oddly enough, this walking away feels great.   Yes I’m still releasing titles and working on projects, but not having to work with people I don’t respect or care to, is a huge load off.

I’m not really guest material anyway…I look around and I see new doujinshi and yaoi posts being linked to like they’re ‘new-news’ and they’re just thinly veiled regurgitations of my own years old entries on the same subject. Shakes head.

I’ll be on again Friday or Saturday. I’ve work to do this week, but I’m going to use my breaks to keep working on the DC Submission, which I haven’t touched in days. (>_&lt ;)
