The Drama Queen panel starts with a little musical number. It sounds like something from Rocky combined with a Madonna song or something, very dramatic. Oh, it's Pet Shop Boys! Well, that explains everything. Tranh is trying to distract us by dancing to that Numa Numa song, with covers and some cute little subtitles on their titles for upcoming releases. Which they swear are still upcoming!

First up, the Q&A!

n
• The delay for Mandayuu and Me is because of post-Biblos bankruptcy, plus difficulty getting quality copies of the materials to work from.
n
• Tyrant is DONE, and they really wanted to get it done for Yaoi Con (and Takanaga-sensei), but the dust jacket is still being worked on.
n
• ...Wow, that's pretty much it. The questioners were very gentle! I did ask Tranh after the panel about the rest of the books and they all have problems similar to Mandayuu and Me's, but they seem determined to get them out.

After the Q&A started contests, including a contest to make wet sex noises, and now an orgasm contest. Poor Ed from MangaCast got volunteered by Tranh (...we may or may not have started chanting his name...) to participate. He tried to get a con opper to take his place, but it didn't work. I can't wait to see how MangaCast's recording turns out-- he did it in Japanese!

And the winner is...Not Ed, but I think he probably has the big prize (a set of all four Challengers books) anyway.
