You can pre-order the new Leek & Sushi book Manga Cupcakes from today. If you do, you’ll get it before the MCM Expo, where it’s officially launched. Get it before anyone else! Brag to your friends! Yush.

1. I understand that some of you are really stressing about the deadline, and the resizing and formatting, and how to get it all sorted in time. I don’t want to put off deciding on the selection for the book much longer, but of course I want you all to have an opportunity to submit your entry.
Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll extend the deadline one more time, to midnight on the 25th of November.
If you’re really stuck on resizing, or you don’t have time to do it, at least send in the form with your details so I know yours is on the way.
The form:
Your name as you want it in the book: __________
Name of your entry: _______________
Number of pages: __________________
Your e-mail: _________________
A phone number in case I need it: _______________
2. The embassy has decided not to announce the winners until February. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth was heard. However:
You can be part of the book whether you are a winner or not, because in either case your entry is still yours to publish or do with as you please. You just can’t publish it before the prize ceremony is held, but that’s not a problem as Leek & Sushi 2 will not come out until after that, anyway. So, really, it doesn’t change anything as far as the anthology goes.
3. I will hopefully be properly plugged back in to the ‘net sooner than I feared. Whew. I’ve missed yooooo! XD

Hey you guys!
Man, how awesome was the MCM expo? Totally awesome, that’s what! I spent most of yesterday in a comatose haze, but it was worth it.
Stars of the little ITCH stand were of course Leek and Sushi (who will be returning next year, but more about that soon) and the evil bunnies versus agent Pepsi (more about that soon, too). We also had Urban Beasts, live portrait drawing, badges and all the usual goodness.
For this Expo I can also honestly say that not only did I have a really good time, ITCH did very good business. And that’s good news, because it means I can continue to come back bigger and better and bring out more books and just generally rock on.
So I have a big thank you for everyone who bought something from the ITCH stall, and to anyone who stopped by and just had a look or took a leaflet, thanks to you too. Please don’t feel nervous about not immediately getting your wallet out, I’m not that mercenary, honest. ^_^ I’m perfectly happy to have a chat and talk about drawing or making comics just in general. It’s my hobby/obsession, so yes, I’m talk all about it. 
Enjoyed watching all the cosplayers, there were some excellent real-life anime characters wandering around. I do have some old fogey advice though, for some of you cosplayers: if you’re too young to have pictures of your butt in a men’s magazine, you’re too young to have men take secret phone pictures of you butt at the MCM Expo, okay? Please give this some thought when choosing your outfit and the length of your skirt, you make people like me very nervous. o_O
So, I finally have a decent picture for this event, and that’s because the picture was taken by someone else. It’s of the Leek and Sushi signing we did, with, from left to right, starting at the back: Sam Barker (Volker) (looking var stylish), Sammy Borras, Olly Dead (who is not actually a skeleton), Karen Yumi Lusted (she did Final Blossom), Sally Jane Thompson, Jade Sarson (also looking very stylish), and at the table me (!) and Kate Holden (who complained she looked like a midget on the poster. She’s not actually that little, I admit. XD ) Thanks for coming along to you all, it was good to meet you.
For those of you who are new to the ITCH site, hi, I’m Willie, I am your host. Please do have a look around and ask any questions in the comments or sound off thread.
Thanks, and keep an eye out for some cool news coming soon.

I am SO sorry I didn’t make it to the award ceremony for Manga Jiman. I hadn’t won anything myself, but I was really looking forward to meeting the people who did, and talk to the contributors to Leek and Sushi, and hand them the books!
I dragged a bag full of books all the way down to the busstop, waited an hour, and then had to drag it all the way back up because it turned out the coach was stuck on the wrong side of the Severn, and was never going to make it in time for me to attend the party. The jam my coach was in actually made the news, so that’s something.
To make up for my disastrous non-attendance, I tried to post the books to the contributors, and the first set of orders, as soon as possible. It took until Tuesday morning to send them all, though, as there were slightly more orders and packages than I anticipated:
But now, they’re all on their way, and will hopefully make the recipients happy when they arrive. Feel free to use the comments section here as improptu customer review space or other outbursts.
Thanks all for your patience, and once again, I’m sorry I didn’t make it.
