Actually Volume 2 is out–villain free I suspect. ^_-

I’ll likely end up thinly disguised in the next DJStu masterpiece as a shark that only eat freshwater fish LOL!

Heheh, maybe Rivkah can work you into volume two as the villain. In fact, you should be the villain in more OEL, it’d be awesome!

Well, truth is stranger than fiction. LOL! I’m a BL writer, living in Texas, Jewish, and a moderate Republican. And I’m a total ANTAGONIST! *laughs*

Replied to your email, was starting to wonder if you’d been kidnapped by aliens. ^^;

No Erin, it’s a Jewish thing. Living in NYC, you'd think I'd pick up on that. Or I could've asked my boyfriend (also Jewish), although he hated Dramacon so he wouldn't even touch this one with a ten foot poll. So that means the girl's sistern in Steady Beat is gay, living in Texas, Jewish, and has a conservative Republican Senator mom. I guess she's really screwed. Too bad she's not the protagonist.

(I’m not sure how to pronounce either name, maybe that makes it more manga-like, or maybe it’s a Texas thing).

No Erin, it’s a Jewish thing.

Aw, c’mon… “Tarot Cafe” wasn’t very good, but it wasn’t terrible. I’d reserve the D+ for “Young Magician” or “Innocent W,” two manga I wish I’d never read.

You should read Tarot Cafe – that might be D+ worthy.

Hey, when will I have enough seniority to actually give a manga a D+?!

I don’t know about real world repercussions, maybe you’ll just hear it from Rivkah’s online fans… Also, it would’ve been nice if you could’ve reviewed Dramacon 2 in this batch — sucks it seems to sold out everywhere :(

I’m afraid Rivkah is going to find me and kill me.
