cnovelsTrying to think which of my social media places might actually care about this info and I think it's basically yall, so.
I'd seen on Tumblr that Rosmei had announced pre-orders for Female General and Eldest Princess and Jing Wei Qing Shan, but they weren't up on Yiggybean so I emailed them. (I feel like I'm missing 18 bits of context here, Rosmei is the Singapore-based publisher who has officially licensed a lot of danmei and some baihe, and Yiggybean is the main liaison in the US organizing group orders, with Rosmei's blessing (like, they're on a list of partners Rosmei has shared).)
So I asked if they'd be getting a GO together for the Please Don't Laugh titles, and here's the response.
"We absolutely will be! Rosmei lets all its partners know when they want to have us open and close pre-orders, so we don't have them open yet but will absolutely do so as soon as possible. Earlier this year Rosmei let us all know that they will have us hold off on opening anything until their first three releases (How to Survive As a Villain, Nanchan, and Don't You Like Me?) have shipped. We're juuuust about to see the first of those three headed our way, with the other two close behind. I would say it may be a few months before they tell us to go for it?"
I've ordered all three of the ones they're supposed to do first so presumably when I get second payment requests and subsequently, like, actually receive the books, that'll give me a better idea when the pre-orders will be up?
Anyway. I know several of us are desperate for baihe translations so I thought I'd share. I'll try to loop y'all when they're up, if there's interest? You can let me know in the replies.
(For anyone who wants a little more info about Yiggybean and whatnot, I wrote a bit more in this tumblr post: https://www.tumblr.com/cnovelartreblogs/745690296178835456/this-may-not-be-the-place-for-it-feel-free-to)
(Also this is my first time ever posting to dw from mobile and Do Not Like.)
