Just Got Back From A-Kon
It seems that yaoi and Texas go together like soap and water!
Despite A-Kon’s misguided efforts to quell the scene [not allowing yaoi/yuri bits in the cosplay scenes, canceling their yaoi/yuri theme after hours ‘fests’, and lecturing Komik Marketers and Dealer Room staffs about the dangers of ‘out in the open’ yaoi doujinshi and comics; the fans were more than happy to support it, with their cash.
I find the Convention overzealousness about the Ys completely lame, considering the amount half naked loli fanserve in their grab gabs, and the fact that scantily glad women were handing out Suicide Girls business cards to all age con attendees, standing in line waiting to register.
The popularity of RUSH at A-Kon was astounding! I want to thank all of you who support RUSH. You know the stories in it, and you were more than happy to scoop up RUSH #1 from my table, without a second though…unless you were under 18, sadly, I couldn’t sell it to you. 
Between Lara Yokoshima’s Master and my Riley walking around showing his frontage, RUSH must remain for those, over 18.
Again, thanks for Supporting RUSH, as well as my own title, Only Words. You fans rock, and all of the yaoi dealers at the con were extremely happy by your show of support.

Ah the hypocisy of it all. Shove all the gheyness away even if it’s only hints while scantily clad little girls won’t hurt anyone :/
Anyway, It sounded like fun! And since I bought Rush 0 when you guys were in DK I’ve also decided to buy the series… It’s just so damn expesive to have it shipped over x__x

You know, so many of us were like…WTF? And the whole leather is hot set up, they had around them, was ridiculous. Yet two men kissing is enough to send in the shock troops. 0_0. I guess they were only comfortable with certain kinds of objectification.

Aida, I just hope you did not try to order while we were messing with the shop shipping rates, we changed the shipping recentlly since USPS changed their rates too. ;~;
I am soo happy Rush did well, I can’t wait to pimp it at a con as well, I haven’t been to any con this year, that must change soon! GO GO RUSH TEAMU! *O*/

PETA philes? Is that some weird take on like…YIFF creators?
I was going to remove your comment, but I’ll let it stand - obviously you had some issues with A-Kon. All in all, I found the staff extremely helpful, even if a few of them needed a serious reality adjustment…
And you get points for calling me a ‘girl’. I haven’t been called a girl, since I was a girl…and yes, I was the only one selling RUSH, since I’m in it. (^_^)
