HOW can a 23 year old girl organise a Dōjinshi event on her own which attracted more than 6,000 visitors and attenders ? Chloe aka 小撒 is the founder of hk Dojinshi (self-published comics) organisation / event -- Rainbow Gala. She has been a japanese comics admirer since she was a child. Chloe published her first dojibshi at 12. After studying in UK and back to hk nearly 3 year ago, she decided to do something more ambitious, that is to organise a Dojinshi event mainly targeting for hong kong dojibshi creators.
Without any supports from big commercial brands or help from the others, Chloe successfully organised her first RG1 (Rainbow Gala) event in Dec 2007. She said she did all the things on her own, from getting the licenses, setting up a company, booking venue ... etc..
Chloe 's efforts finally paid off. Now Rainbow Gala event has become more and more recognized by the local dojinshi scene. In RG3 which was just held in April this year, more than 6,000 visitors and attenders were attracted to this event. RG4 is planned to be held in Jan 2010 and many commercial sponsors have already approached her ... Want to hEAR / sEE (sound & video) this lovely girl introducing herself and her event?
一個23歲的女孩竟然自己一手一腳, 成功搞了一個吸引超過6,000名參展人及參加者的本地同人誌活動.
此人就是Rainbow Gala的創辦人 -- 小撒. 她12歲已出版了自己的第一本同人誌漫畫. 之後去了英國讀書離開了這圈子一會. 約兩年前返港後, 她決定要自己搞一個同人誌活動, 是特別為香港的同人誌創作人而設.
起初在沒有人幫忙及任何商業贊助下, 小撒由成立公司, 申請牌照, 預定場地都由自己一手包辦. 結果2007年12月成功舉辦了第一屆Rainbow Gala, 當時己經吸引了近200個同人誌組織參展. 如今Rainbow已經愈來愈壯大, 愈來愈受香港的同人誌圈子重視. 剛在今年4月舉行的RG3, 吸引了超過6,000名參展人及參加者. 下屆RG4將於明年1月舉行 ... 想聽聽 / 看看(sound & video)小撒介紹自己及她的活動 .

Dōjinshi in Japanese means self-published manga / comics. Though they are mainly published by amateur artists or comics lovers, some professional artists would also publish their non-mainstream works as Dojinshi. In Japan, dōjinshi creators and their fans would attend some regular conventions where they could sell or buy their and others' works. The biggest of this kind might be the Comiket (short form of comic market) held twice a year in Tokyo. Over half a million of visiters would be attracted to this event and this number continues to increase every year.
