There are a lot of folks who would like to attend my Yuri Panels and Lectures, but for one reason or another, don’t have the chance to. Therefore, as a new feature for Yuricon, we’re starting a series of online panels. Watch the video below to get the basic idea:

So, get those questions in and as soon as we can, I’ll announce the first time and place for a live online Yuri panel. (I’m very much hoping it will be this month, and I’ll do my very best to pick a time where the most times zone can tune in!)

I’m looking forward to your questions!

Update: Before you send in any questions for the Online Yuri Panel, stop by Yuricon and read our answer to “What is Yuri?”

I’ve been remiss and am finally digging in and clearing a back log of items to post to the Yuricon site. First up – new Essays for the Yuri Essays Page:

The Evolution of “Recognition/Assertion of a Lesbian Identity” vs “Akogare” in Manga – by Katherin Hanson

The Impact Of Globalization On Yuri And Fan Activism – by Yaritza Hernandez

These are both fantastic essays – please read them when you have a moment. As always, if you have any Yuri scholarship you’d like to share with us, please contact us at anilesbocon at hotmail dot com

Let me also take this opportunity to remind you all that the What Yuri Means To Me Project is always open to anyone who wants to share their personal story of discovering and enjoying Yuri! This project is our “oral history” (only we’re capturing it in writing right from the start) so please feel free to write your story up and send it to us.  We look forward to hearing from you!
