Oh, Tim. ;_; I'm glad to hear you guys are doing okay. I figured you probably had some freelance work, since so much of our industry is run by that and you guys are pretty much top-pick for that kind of thing. I hope you all end up full-time somewhere you're happy. Man, I miss you guys so much. ;_; Tim! Oh, Tim. ;_;

Yeah, it's strange to think how far some of us go back, isn't it? Don't worry, all of us who were let go are doing fine. We've been getting together pretty regularly since the layoff. As far as I know, none of the laid off editors have found full-time work yet, but many of us have enough freelance work to tide us over for at least a little while. It will be interesting to see where everyone ends up. The TP editorial team was a pretty amazing group of individuals and I'm sure going to miss working alongside them each day.

My friends used to work there too. They tend to fire the senior employees, so that they can hire newer cheaper employees. They also tend to fire a group at a time. They have been doing this for years. lol They do that all the time. My friends used to work there too. They tend to fire the senior employees, so that they can hire newer cheaper employees.

I'm glad to hear about Emily. I heard about Alex today. Still there. That's great since he's working with my friends KOSEN. I'm scooping up some laid off folks to get some projects done for Yaoi Press. (Nothing to get excited about, just crappy lettering and pre-press). Most people seem to be taking a break now. I'm sure they needed it. Lianne,

I'm glad you arent just thrown to the wind! I was a little upset when I found out you were working with the enemy(booo MixxZine!), but I constantly scanned through their manga to find your name and point it out. "Look! This girl, Lianne, used to write Sailormoon fanfics! She was one of the best!"(Jen Wand's Yaten's Love Song is my number one tho! BUT PSYCHO SETSUNA ROX MY SOX!!). I would like to say I'm sorry about your friends/coworkers and I wish them the best!

But I hope those titles stay, too, especially since I love rem to death (she does the art for Vampire Kisses). Yaoi Press - Lillian is still there, Alexis I'm not sure. And are you Ms. Abraham? If so, I think I met you at Anime North... Ash - I can’t speculate on which titles are getting cut and which aren’t, because I only know about the titles I personally work on.
