Hi all -

When I received the latest issue of Yuri Hime, I noted that, since
"Kotonoha no Miko to Kotodama no Majyo to" was over, there was a small
omake comic of other Miyabi characters that will be starting up in the
next issue.

I recognized the ladies of the Ameriro Koucha Pavilion from Eternal
Sisters 2, but...

As I went back and re-read "MikoMajyo" (as Miyabi refers to it in her
afterword) I realized that, duh, Letty and Tsumugi had already been at
the cafe in question. (Something confirmed in the Drama CD.) I had
completely forgotten that.

Then I went back and re-read the ES story and I realized in one fell
swoop that Fujieda Miyabi is a crossover hound. LOL

In the first ES story about the owner of the Ameiro Koucha Kandan, no
less than three other sets of characters from Fujieda Miyabi stories
wander in. In MikoMajyo (the spelling is also Miyabi's) Letty and
Tsumugi wander into at least two other stories  - and how they manage
to avoid running into Iono-sama and her handmaidens, I have no idea.

In the Drama CD, when Tsumugi and Letty want a drink, they naturally
head over to the Ameiro Koucha Pavilion.

So, when the new series starts in the next Yuri Hime, expect crossovers.

Reviews of MikoMajyo and the Drama CD will go up on Okazu shortly.
It's all good, as to be expected from Fujieda Miyabi. :-)

Cheers,

Erica

Hallo, Token here.  I'm an almost 20-yr-old studying art history, religious studies, and Japanese at Indiana University: Bloomington, IN.  I don't know much about yuri thanks to the term's adoption by many porn sites out there, so I'm hoping to expand my experience of the genre.  Thus far I have to agree with Erica on the awesomeness of Haruka and Michiru.  ;)  Erm, think that's it!  Nice to meet y'all.

Hello all -

I wanted to share this with you, because I think it says a lot about
how far we've come in the 6 years since I came up with this silly
idea. (In fact - happy birthday to ALC/Yuricon. I created it next
week, 6 years ago!)

When I first created the community that was then "AniLesboCon", I
spent a lot of time explaining what yuri was, and being grilled for
liking it. Yaoi wasn't even that popular yet, and yuri was mostly
unheard of.

As yaoi became more popular, I spend more time fending off "ewww,
yuri" comments from the socially maladjusted and sexually immature.
But over the past year, there have been less and less "eww, yuri"
moments. This year's Otakon had only two such, neither memorable.

But it also had multiple moments where a person walked up to our table
and said, "I've just dropped a load of money on yaoi - time to balance
it with some yuri." The first time this happened, I was happy - the
fourth time, I was boggling.

It appears that the day has come, my friends, where people can,
actually enjoy yaoi, yuri, and all other forms of manga equally. Ta-da.

So, for Yuricon's 6th birthday, let's all enjoy this brand new world
we've created, shall we? ;-)

Cheers,

Erica

Hmmm... Let's see- Okay, I go by the name of Baka Gaijin30 (which
basically translates to "Stupid Foreigner 30"), and I chose the name
because it fits my sense of humor. I'm 32 years old, and I first was
exposed to anime as a young child through Battle of the
Planets/Gatchaman, and as an adult through the original OVA of
Bubblegum Crisis. I think it was through reading BGC fanfiction that
I first became exposed to yuri, and have been infatuated with it
ever since. My favorite parings are probably Haruka and Michiru, as
well as Ami and Makoto from Sailor Moon. I also write fanfiction (a
lot of it parodying my favorite series).

I think one of the things I find most appealing about yuri is that
there's a tenderness and beauty in the best stories that's missing
in a lot of hetero stories.

Anyways, that's it for now. I'm currently writing a Strawberry Panic
spoof, so I'll be sure to let you all know when the next chapter is
done. Bye ^^

Don't you love it when you find something you saw as a kid all those
years ago, and never saw again?

WAY back in high school, I remember going into the (not) local comic
book store, and as usual feeling grossly uncomfortable by all the
stares.  Not at me so much, but more a "which comics is she reading"
leering.  Before leaving quick as I could (as I would do), I happenned
to spy this little gem.

Rude Girls & Dangerous Women, by Jennifer Camper.

Having a quick flick through the pages, that was pretty much my first
experience with lesbians in comic books.  And wouldn'cha know, they
were all big n' strong n' extremely happy being who they were.  One
great big society of women having a blast with each other, having fun.

Naturally, I couldn't buy it.  One, because at that age I had to save
every cent I had just to buy one issue of a comic book, let alone a
book... and two, I'da been WAY to freaked out to hand it over to the
sales clerk guy.  And so, I never saw it again.

For more than a decade, I could never figure out what that book was I
saw in ye olde comic book store in my childhood.  No title, no author,
no front cover image, no nothing.  Just a vague recollection of one or
two B&W panels of the comic strips found therein.


So there I am going through Amazon.com book lists, window shopping,
picking up the occasional title, and I see an old book by Jennifer
Camper, of 'Juicy Mother' fame (volume 2 taking *way* too long to be
released).  It may be old and no doubt outdated, but what the hey?  I
add it to the list and eventually it arrives.

Oh the joy of opening the book and discovering... this is it!  This is
the one!  I *remember* these comic strips!.  Oh the childhood glee of
having as an adult that long lost jewel of your youth.  For a moment,
I was *complete*.  What was lost, hads now been found.  It was mine.

Gawd, I'm such a nerd.  ^__^

Chapter three of S.O.S. (Save Our School) is now up at:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3091885/3/

Enjoy ^^

Oh, almost forgot; the fic is rated T, mostly for foul language and
suggestive dialogue.

Hello.

I've been something of a lurker most of the time, but here goes :).
My name is Kat, I've been a member for a couple of years now. My favourite
yuri couple, I suppose are Utena and Anthy, but of the movie, not so much
the series.
I like Simoun and Marimite and Moonlight Feathers and a lot of other yuri
things as well, and I'm thankful that there is something like this mailing
list to communicate with people with similar interests.

Nice to meet you all and delurke, hope you will accept me kindly, as I'm
somewhat shy over the net.

Kat

Hi! I am known as neo_hrtgdv and well, the name is the code for a
Super NES game called "Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow", its about a duck
that fight evil spirits.. i know its weird but the name "hrtgdv" is
the code for the final scene ^_^

Anywy, I got into yuri from Haruka and Michiru, my sister and I both
liked anime so we sometimes watched Sailor Moon together, and it was
when I first met yuri, I was very young at that time. a few years
later I wrote a story about two girls that fell in love, I didn't know
the word "yuri" or even the full meaning of the word "lesbian" beyond:
"a girl who has girlfriend"; but I liked the story a lot and of course
the girls, it was only until I saw the movie of Utena that I really
got into yuri, by searching in the interneta bout it I got to wiki,
and wiki led me to yuri and shoujo ai, and then I got to the page "el
rincon del lirio" which is made by Laurasama (which in my opinion, is
one of the greatest yuri personalities in spanish speaking zones) and
got to know much more about the yuri and was in that page where I
found a link to the yuricon, and later found Erica's blog wich I like
a lot.

So yes, hi and nice to meet you all ^_^

hello everyone!

i'm lill, long time reader of okazu and new member of yuricon.
favourite yuri couple HANDS DOWN would be sei and shimako from
marimite - their deep, unspoken understanding of each other warms my
heart so!

i got into yuri, i suppose, in the hopes of finding something that
reflects my own gay experience. it's been pretty good so far, though
none of my girlfriends have turned into cars i can drive (utena
movie)... yet. heh :D

currently watching "butterfly" (HK movie) on repeat (tian yuan is
DIVINE!), frothing at the mouth in anticipation of marimite 3 and
working on a graphic novel with lesbian themes. reading ebine yamaji-
san's work prompted me to create something similar (and many thanks
to okazu/erica for the heads up!)

that's it from me, happy yuri-ing folks!

  - lill.

And it's so awful you can't imagine why you liked it? :-D

I recently was given a copy of a book I loved as a child - the Boy's King
Arthur. It's the only short Arthurian thing I've ever seen with the stories
of Agravain and Gaheris. (Source material for the fanfic "The Senshi's
Challenge" on worldshaking.net)

The First Lady found it and gave it to me. It was exactly as I remembered -
only it was completely incoherent. I mean, laughbly so.

I remember the name.

I thought of you last time I read through the book and saw that. :)

I particularly love the Camper comic with the black woman in the
voting booth.  I've gone and re-read that one several times during
every election season for the past 8 or so years.

The funny things is, of course, that I am NOT an artist. Not even
remotely. And yet I still make no money on comics. I thought that we
corporate types were supposed to be raking it in while all the artists
were getting ripped off! :-)

Hi all - I've come across a women in comics-tpe blog I wanted to share
with you:

Girl Wonder.org - http://girl-wonder.org/
This site tracks the horrendous way in which female superheroes are
treated in mainstream comics. It's worse than we think...

There's also a great blog that aggregates posts from around the web
about women in comic, women who do comics, comics for women and just
plain women's opinions about comics. "When Fangirls Attack":
http://womenincomics.blogspot.com/
They cover all sorts of issues, including yaoi and yuri comics.

Cheers,

Erica

Two new yuri drama CDs have been added to the YC Shop:
http://www.yuricon.org/cds.html

Strawberry Panic CD Drama, Volume 1

and coming in October:

Kotonoha no Miko to Kotodama no Majyo to: Madrigal Halloween

I haven't had a chance to listen to the SP Drama CD yet, but I imagine
it will be similar to the anime.

I have had a chance to review the first MikoMajyo Drama CD - that went
up on Okazu (http://okazu.blogspot.com)last week. If the upcoming
full-lentgh one is as cute as the mini-one, it'll be a real must-have. :-)

Cheers,


Erica

Apologizies for posting this late, but.....

I really enjoyed the yuri panel at this year's Otakon.
Thankfully, the time was perfect for me (9PM as
opposed to 11PM in the past) so I won't have to worry
about walking back late to the hotel and running into
any homeless or shifty characters (thankfully this
year it didn't happen).

My favorite part of the panel was when Erica put the
"guy in the yellow T-shirt" in his place for talking
during the panel.

I really liked the yuri screen saver that was shown on
the big screens during the panel that featured many
yuri pictures. Was that a homemade screen saver or one
downloaded from another site? I like that screen saver
greatly.

Carmen ^_^

P.S. - not to mentioned I dropped by to the Yuricon
table during my shopping spree in the Dealers Room.
That is one thing that I had to do to make sure I
wasn't accused or real-life lurking.

Baltimore made it illegal to panhandle around the BCC too - which didn't
really help, but it was a nice gesture.

Feel free to write Otakon and thank them for putting us at 9PM. It was
awfully nice of them.

Next year I might ask for a 90 minute panel - we had way too much to talk
about and so little time.

It's the product of an embarrassingly large amount of time spent trawling

It's worth notiing that that ancient grreks often left a lock of hair
as a sacrifice, especially for the beloved dead.

Great episode.

It was also a fairly common Victorian habit to keep a lock of hair from
the departed as a memento, wasn't it?  ISTR seeing various lockets used
for the purpose.

Lyda Morehouse? Cool!!
I loved The Archangel Protocol. Have you read it? (Probably) :)
For everyone else - it's not off topic, it's also yuri, some of it :) And
one of the most advanced SF novels I have read (that saying a lot!).

Love, Kat

You recall correctly.

Reaction One:

Oh, come on Rodore. You can't tell me you didn't
already KNOW THAT.

Reaction Two:

Uh, what was /she/ doing there? And who/what were the
other two?

Reaction Three:

Oh come on. He had to expect that, really.

'Let us order teenage girls around mercilessly, break
them up, and make them do things they don't want to!
And often!'
'Uh, sir? Won't they...rebel or something?'
'Nonesense! You're just jealous of my brilliant plan!
Nyah!'

Reaction Four:

But...but! They could've just...back together! Why
not!? Gah!

That is all.

Seriously. It was a bit ingenuous, except that Rodore is quite naive.
Probably the most of the bunch.

Hahah.

And in front of Yun, of all of them. Yun reads practically like a pagan
mercenary serving Rome in thei series.

Yep.
