The Death of the Artist Alley?
For smaller artists, increased costs and outsized merchandise expectations are putting convention-selling out of reach.

it is nearly impossible for new artists, animators, or programmers to share their work without a swath of people accusing it of being AI. the only way to avoid that is to have proof that your project existed before gen AI. i think this ignorance ultimately helps normalize AI more than anything.

FEMALE CHARACTERS IN BOYS LOVE SERIES
This is a cross-post from my Tumblr account with regards to a question I received about female characters in Boys Love manga. Did very minor additions and corrections. hope this isn't a controversial thing to bring up because I genuinely don't want to cause any discourse, and I know you probably don't want your account to become that kind of space.

One of my (many) white whales: the 90s Ai no Kusabi. Its pedigree alone makes it worth preserving. But it’s 30+ years old, BL and fairly explicit, so that limits the audience (if it could even be licensed in the first place). It really is an incredible piece of work that deserves a remaster.

Extra Olympia Kyklos, based on the manga by Mari "Thermae Romae" Yamazaki, which I still sincerely believe was one of the best anime of 2020. It's funny af and I love the way it uses different types of stop-motion to portray the worlds of ancient Greece and 1960s Japan. youtu.be/CPsNV0TgxDY

WHAT DOES A REVIEWER, A FANFICTION WRITER, AND A GACHA GAMER HAVE IN COMMON?
Back by unpopular demand and here to hold you hostage! This post is, yet again, motivated by three instances I came across on social media that interestingly “sit at the same table“ as the kids say these days. And what’s a personal blog without personal takes anyway? I didn’t care enough to bookmark the tweet I saw about how a good number of the fanfiction pieces that user has read read all too similarly to each other.

We have an update from Dr. Love in the ANN forums:
Note, this message includes references to previously asked questions in the forum. Go to the ANN forum to read the full forum thread.
Post from user aware.o.vacuity:
"Hello, Dr. Love here. Thanks for everyone's thoughtful responses to Erica's writeup of my interview! This is my very first forum post on ANN, so apologies if my etiquette is poor. Quick answers to questions above: Gina, I love Dr. Stone, Planetes, and Space Brothers. Especially the last, since it's so well researched. Also I talked with the mangaka for an hour and a half when he visited Houston years ago and he seems to have named his character George Love after me. I haven't seen Irina. Juno016, thank you for sharing the lovely sentiment. Tunod, virtual fist-bump for Diebuster appreciation. The scene on my car, where Nono awakens as Buster Machine #7 (and discovers that the thing she longed to become, she always was) is my favorite in all of anime. I just love that message. mdo7, I think the message is that anime touches lives everywhere, and all fans want to share their experiences. Omoikane, fist-bump for Nadesico appreciation (deadpan child-genius Ruri, the most mature person on the crew, is my fave.) I showed my car at Houston Comicpalooza's itasha showdown last year and won a trophy for best electric car! (OK, it was the *only* electric car. But a win's a win.) L-S-M-F-T, pray-hands thanks for the congrats. The missing element is Toughness. Shame on me for missing it when put on the spot. All, be excellent to each other and party on."
