This is Yamila Abraham typing.

Chicken little is screaming the sky is falling, and I happen to know that it isn't. The most frustrating thing is I can't discuss said sky falling while the issue of 'falling sky' is still pending. It will be resolved. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I'm grateful a few people recalled we do not live under Napoleonic Code in the United States. For those who have already judged me, I'm not angry at you. I know it's easy to get into a sensationalist mentality when sensational accusations are being made. So many catastrophes have happened in the industry. It's easy to assume the worst right now. Please keep a cool head, and have faith. This situation is not going to end Yaoi Press. Don't believe the hype.

However, Yaoi Press survives on our convention income. A great portion of that income comes from those shows where I make personal guest appearances. You would think that if a show is willing to put the author of the Trach the Tentacle monster stories on their guest-list they aren't too concerned with her reputation. I can't help but think about a popular convention guest who had a false accusation lobbed at him last year. He was banned from the industry.

People panic when sensational stories start spreading. When convention chairs panic they could pull Yaoi Press from their shows.

I am in a position where I can't say much, and lack of information causes fear. I know there are some people who will never lose faith in me. But there are others who don't know me that well, and are concerned right now. You have my email. Please talk to me before making a decision that could cause a chain reaction that would be devastating to Yaoi Press.

If you've watched any television at all you know the drill for situations like this. I'm not allowed to discuss this matter while it's still pending. I'm desperate to talk, but I can't. Please try not to pass judgment until you know what's really going on. All is not what it seems.

I will be at OtakuMex this weekend. Yes, I really will! You can also meet me at the Hollywood Book Fair on October 4th. I'm seriously looking forward to Yaoi Con October 30th.

There are no cancellations. I will be at these shows. I should have panels at them all. People may ask me about this situation. I probably won't be able to answer them. I'm hoping for a fast resolution, but the sky started falling over 3 years ago, in 2006! If it's taken this long to drop I'm not hopeful about this being over with fast.

One good thing about Yaoi fans is that they are not ignorant people. They aren't the type to spit on me and say, "I heard X about you so I've decided Y." It didn't take long for supporters to start coming out. I appreciate everyone who continues to support me through this trying time.

In the meantime I have a business to continue managing during a very weak economy. I can't crawl into a turtle shell and hide. Works of over 100 talented creators rest on my shoulders. I must continue to promote them, and this company.

I hope that even if you doubt me you will not begrudge these creators the success of their Yaoi Press publications.
