Work & Fan Things.

Well it’s about time. The Library of Congress/Copyright Office finally processed the $30 application fee for the Only Words copyright. It’s been about what…10 months? At least I got my certificate.

Damn, so many things I missed when I was away. One is the Trigun Movie Flier project going on in Japan. It’s fan-oriented, nothing official—but it looks crazy-fun. A bunch of circles are getting together and making mock-movie posters for the upcoming Trigun film.

Have I got my royalty statement from Iris Print, for last quarter? No. I gave it about 30 days after the quarter ended, and when I still got nothing, I had my manager email Iris Print. No response. RW Day contacted me and asked me if I heard anything. I said nope. She’s emailed multiple times as well. Mia Paluzzi said she hasn’t heard anything either. :/ *yes, this is the official Tina Anderson blogging about not getting a quarterly royalty statement from Iris Print post.* At this point we’re all pretty frustrated; I ventured to guess that this recent bout of MIA is going to be blamed on me—just like the last time she didn’t contact me; my evil bloggish ways and wanky personality. ((^_^)) To be honest, I’ve not bothered her in ages since I emailed to express my anger about her sharing her thoughts on me with Yamila Abraham. That was in February. After that, I decided to get a representative to handle my affairs with publishers, because obviously—I can’t handle them, I’m too big of a jerk. Right now, I’m likely going to make my rep cringe because she asked me not to blog about any of this, but neither her emails nor R.W.s emails are getting any response, so… I hate to say this here at GGY – ‘DAMN any of you that do free work for Iris Print’. :/

In brighter news, my payment came through from German publisher The Wild Side. I have to mail Caroline her half of the payout which thanks to the week dollar, was pretty damn sweet.
