Queenie Chan has finished THE DREAMING 2 and posts cool header art at her LJ:

The Dreaming (Book 2): Is finished. YAY!!! All 181 pages of it, plus a 3-page mini-manga at the end. Jesus, whatta heckuva month. It’s going to be out on November 22, and while I made the deadline, it was no fun experience since there was a major muck-up with my schedule. It turns out that the schedule laid out in my TOKYOPOP contract was wrong. In my contract, it said that everything was due on October 6th, but actually the due date was August 22nd. I found out after mid-July, and while having 6 weeks shaved off your schedule will kill most people, luckily I was a month ahead of schedule. That was what saved me, really - being 1 month ahead of schedule meaning that I had to work extra hard to fill in those 2 other weeks, but otherwise I made it. Now that it’s over, I can get back to bulletin-boarding and essay-writing, which I have really missed. I also got a new editor - Paul. Unfortunately, my former editor Carol is too busy to handle “The Dreaming” now. It’s a bit sad, but she was a good editor and I hope she’s coping well with her new workload.

Tokyopop editorial shuffle

08/2/06

We’re hearing reports on a slight editorial shake-up at Tokyopop; some editors’ titles have changed, and editor Rob Valois has left. The last part has been mentioned at at least one Tpop creator site. Valois was one of the main editors of the RISING STARS series, and responsible for much of the OEL/OGM line. The Beat wishes him well.
