About Volume 7

Hello BaKaFiSh, I've sent you an e-mail regarding volume 7 using the address that you have provided in your user page, about volume 7 of the Haruhi novels, but in case it doesn't reach you, I'll just post it here again.

I've registered for chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the series, and I see that you're doing chapters 1, 2, 3 as well as the prologue. I was wondering could we swap chapters, so that we do alternating chapters? In other words, since you are doing the prologue, can I do chapter 1, then you chapter 2, me chapter 3, you chapter 4 and hence forth? This is because it would seem weird if I were to start translating halfway through the series. If we were to do chapters alternatively, we would be able to get through the whole volume faster.

If you do agree to the above, I will promise not to upload any scripts which are further than the chapters you are working on, until they are completed, in order to minimize spoilers. For example, since you are doing the prologue now, I will start translating chapter 1 but NOT upload it on the site, not even 1%, until you are done with the prologue. Similarly, when you are translating chapters 2, 4 and 6, I will not upload chapters 3, 5 and 7. You are free to upload any script anytime you wish, even if they are beyond the chapters I am currently working on. This is just one of my "translator's ethics" ;P

Of course, you have every right to refuse. This is just an offer I make to you, and if it makes you uncomfortable, please tell me and I will just shut up. If I offended you in any way above, I'm truly sorry.

Please let me know what you think, and thanks in advance.
