Um, yeah...Could you stick to editing through the Wiki? I notice MS Word has changed the spacing, and a significant chunk of chapter one has now gone missing...

Something was omitted? There were some text that had been altered there, and there are 2 possible outcome for that, a shortened version of the original chunk or a lengthened version of the original part. I still have the original text here in my files do you want me send it to you so that you could point out the missing chunk and leave it as is?

Interested to get my MS word original translation text to check it out? =X

Shadow if possible can you send me the original chunk I would like to review some changes that I had made. I had only read the half to the first chapter in volume 1 due to my difficulties in recognizing some of it's kanji which in result may had altered the flow of the story but I watched the 1st episode in the story to compensate.. I'm very sorry for the misinterpretations done in my edit...

Hmm, couple things. First, as I've said before, and as I'll say again, accuracy is #1. If you're not certain about something, ask. As for what's missing, the entire end of the first chapter lol. Also, I would avoid using the anime as a reference, as they changed some things.

Most are similar, however, novels are better than animes in many ways such as the expressing of feelings, thoughts, insignificant details. A single action can hold a dozen meanings in a novel, yet in an anime it is just one action. In manga at most it is 3 meanings i guess... Thats why i dont really think you can compare them like that...

.......................................... ARGH!!!
I forgot =X lolz, i started from chapter 3 and 5, so i dont have those... anyways, i can just do a retranslation of the parts lost when i get home... sorry, back to volume 1 i guess =X

P.S. no worries, my quota of one part per week is met (one part of a chapter of KnS, and about 10pages of SnS) so all other works are extras ^^ get back to you later

Edit: or maybe i should retranslate everything? ~.~ there has been enough complaints from readers

The entire end of the chapter? I'm sure that I had only edited some parts in the end of the chapter. AFAIK I haven't omitted any phrases or sentences in the end of the chapter, let's just wait for shadow's original script to arrive so we could wrap it up...

Please dont "beautify" things like that? ^^"

Almost the entire chapter is gone. If i recall (even without the novel), Chapter one is about the exorcising of the evil spirit by Kazuma as he extorts a hell lot of money from his employer after Shinji blows everything up. And Shinji dies, thus the beginning of chapter 2...

And now, the evil spirit is having the last laugh (literally)!
EVIL PREVAILS!! ALL HAIL DARKNESS!!!

=X so i guess its the whole chapter...

and no, there is no original script, so i have to make one...

Edit: thought of a new name for the new chapter one ^^
Kaze no Stigma=> Stigma of the wind
Changed to:
Unholy Burnt Scars, starring Shinji, and the evil spirit that blasts him up!! =X

Haha Shadow. I have to admit to sharing similar sentiments. Anyway, all is not lost. Wiki keeps a track of all changes, and yes, you can roll them back.

Now to end with a typical Hiyono side note: "I screwed up big time!" ("I've made a huge mistake") + missing chapter = Gob? Cookies to anyone who gets the reference ;D

Everyone messes up, what matters is how you cover it up so no one knows hopefully,
or do something so no one would blame you for it =X

No worries, i dont mind, no one really does, besides, its all over now
hehez

even if its gone, no one is injured, all we need to do is come up with a new translation, thats the good thing about the new age

so no worries, just have a good laugh over it ^^

Hi, I'm new here and was wondering whether editors are still needed for this project. If so, do I need to register or notify people here or can I just go edit it on the wiki?

Anyways I won't do anything yet until I get a reply so as not to screw things up for everyone.
