I really admire YP for running as it does and I have personally purchased (and enjoyed) the majority of their titles. While some creators will be disappointed that Yaoi Press isn't currently taking new submissions, I think this will ultimately put them in a better position to look at new material when the time comes that they're able to again. In regards to Yaoi Con, I originally thought their big announcement would've been a Makoto Tateno title as well, since she's their guest, but the early announcement of <em>Yellow 2</em> felt like the largest news they could've had from her. Still, with over 30 series under her belt, they still have a large assortment of new books to announce, albeit I don't think they'll be "the big one".

I like that it's an honest approach to the situation and I hope they make it, as I believe the industry is better off with smaller publisher being able to do more independent works. I wish I could go to Yaoi-con, but I guess looking at the schedule, perhaps the annoucement is one of Tateno-sensei's titles? Yellow 2 is kind of already out of the bag so I'm not sure what else would be on the list. Finally, thanks for the heads up on the DQ website. I find it curious that they are becoming more active at this particular point in the economic downturn - I wish we knew what changed and why. I'm going to go along with your advice and stick to buying any DQ titles from trusted retailers until we learn more.
