Websites: YU+ME, I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space
Bio: Megan "Rosalarian" Gedris discovered webcomics in 2002, and immediately started her own. Not yet out of the closet, she wrote under the alias "Anonymous Manga" doing gay boy comics to really throw people off the trail.
But she couldn't help but notice a very unequal balance between gay boy comics and lesbian comics. Where were the comics she could relate to?
Finally, in 2004, she set to right this. She started YU+ME, a love story between two girls in a Catholic high school. It has been going strong ever since, with fans around the world. Volume One of the printed series was made possible with a Prism grant (2007), with Volume Two due sometime in 2008.
In 2006, she entered Platinum Studios first annual Comic Book Challenge, where she didn't win, but got a publishing deal anyways. Her story, I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space!!! is available on the web, and the first issue of the print version comes out in May 2008!
