And many happy, safe, and prosperous returns.
The crazy will bust loose. Either in the stories or on the forum. Or both at the same time.

Fun Fact: PMS's 2nd story was written as if it was the last story I was going to get to tell with the cast (it's not, thankfully)... but it meant I could write each sequence of the 3-Act story ever more insane than the last.

I take it you feared PMS wasn't gonna be as popular as it is?

I pitched Paranormal Mystery Squad a full year before Vampire Cheerleaders, and just couldn't get Seven Seas on board with it. They liked the idea, but didn't think it could sell on its own, even as an Aoi House spin-off. I struggled for a year trying to keep it alive, until finally the idea to pair it together with Vampire Cheerleaders for a two-volume run was given the go ahead.

And then Borders died the month before Vampire Cheerleaders Vol. 1 was set to come out, and orders for all our books plummeted. So, it wasn't just PMS that was in trouble, it was both VC & PMS as a whole. There wasn't much hope of getting to do the big crossover story that the books were leading to (or anything after that) without some kind of major shift in how we recouped the costs for the series as books/ebooks just weren't going to keep it going in the new post-Borders book market. There's where the Pixie Trix/Zoom Comics network comes in.

I'm glad to see that it seems to have helped. I've been enjoying all of the 7 Seas original works.

Just found where you posted this on the VC facebook page:

How is art going to be handled in Vol 3? And is the entire volume going to be a crossover, or only part of it, with them going their separate ways afterwards?

Agreed. And those they picked up as well.

We're going to have a new artist taking over the series. Not ready yet to announce who until pages start coming in, but I'm sure there'll be a little bit of an adjustment period as there's always that initial "omg, the art's different!"

The entire book will be a crossover. (Well, the first "part" is PMS flying solo, but it's the lead-in to the crossover.)

As for them going their separate ways... hard to say. I haven't thought much about what comes after yet.

Ooh! Ooh! Mista Kottah! Is this the project Miss Gisèle metioned a while back when she turned the reigns of Magic Chicks over to Cassandra?
