In the first place... who are we really competing against...? Besides, we are tough to beat, since we are FREE translations, unless we started asking for payments without me realizing it LOLz!

actually the most likely answer is exams. The majority of our translators/editors are in education, thus during the period of may-June it's pretty quiet as cram hell takes over. :)

i expect a pickup around next month or so, as people get into the summer holidays and have more free time. :wink:

If it is such a pain maybe you should consider to translate something funnier. ;)
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

Well...when it comes down to it...we'd rather read something you can translate quickly and happily, rather than something that takes you forever and you hate...

How about we make a poll to ask if people would not cry bloody tears if Shadow was released from the chains of SnS? Personally, I'd rather see him happy translating something he likes better ^_^. (who knows, maybe haruka *poke*) lol.

But seriously, if someone wants to read Shana that badly, they'll either join a publishing company in the future, get translation rights, and pay someone to translate it, learn japanese, or realize it didn't affect them as much as they'd thought.

I know I'm a bit biased but...I'd rather something you enjoyed translated was translated...because well...usually if it's fun: 1: more energy = more translations = more updates = more fanbase = more communication/thanks/etc = happy shadow = more energy = more translations....

Thinking about it, but either way i have no intentions of doing the work half way and leaving it to the rest to deal with it... so i will still work on the rest of my current chapter, and see whether it truly annoys me that much to actually make me abandon the project...

Oh well, either way, i still gotta work on that 30 pages of SnS for the chapter LOLz! then its back to KnS and see if i have time for anything else

^ Same here. Though I've stopped for the time being, I have not yet given up on the last chapter. After that......we'll just let time take its course.
