• I spent pretty much all of last week checking the crapload of student works and exams that I've accumulated since the end of August -- that ought to explain why I've only been visible on Plurk and y!m rather than LJ. I'm still reeling from all that text, so you'll have to excuse me if I fail at anything that has to do with writing and archiving for a bit. +_+
  
• I am not kidding when I say that I won't have a semestral break -- I might even be digging my own grave by forcing myself to take this week off. I have lesson plans to make and preparations to do regarding the graduate studies units that I need to take up this coming semester. I've also got duties to fulfill for the committees that I'm in over at the faculty (i.e. editing scholarly journals, fixing the formatting on some literary criticism papers, canvassing for potential text books). orz Teaching is serious business, yo.
  
• The papers I was referring to in this post are for classes that I'm still waiting for word about, so I really don't want to post them until I'm sure that they didn't suck. Something tells me that I'm going to end up posting them anyway, given the fact that some of you guys are breathing down my neck about reading them. *crai* I might contact some scholars and professors abroad about reviewing them, depending on the results.

Tired of all those MultiFandom RPGs? Wanting a fun little Reborn! only rpg? Wistfully imagining an AU world where you don't have to break your brain over how rings/boxes/magical random ass powers work?

There are three publishing companies you need to know in Namimori. They market all over the world, you see. They are the Vongola, a publishing company that markets children's and young adult fiction. Because, you know, that stuff sells. Sometimes, textbooks too, since all the Vongola ever want to do is satisfy the need for books for children and young adults, may it be for leisure or education. The Millefiore, who have recently published several award winning novels and non-fiction stories. They have branched out to try to corner the market on everything but text books. Last but not the least, the Varia, a start up company that specializes in erotic magazines and collections of erotic short stories. But they are also known for producing books and magazines on fashion, trends and pop culture. It's just that once you start publishing ero magazines, everyone thinks that's all you publish.

Now, what does this have to do with you?

Welcome to the world of Publishing. You either work for one (or all, if you're a freelancer) of the above companies as a writer, an editor, a translator, heck, you might just even be a janitor. Or, you work for Kokuyo, the local bookstore. Heck, maybe you even work at the local Starbucks, serving coffee to those sleep=deprived writers and ediotrs. It doesn't matter which place you work for-- Publishing is serious business.
