Not MIA; just working on stuff for the site

Hey guys, I'm not missing~ I'm just working on editing so we can get caught up on stuff for the Translation Project. There's LttP manga, LA manga, doujinshi, little mini-mangas like this one below, etc. And, if you notice, just 2 pages actually take a lot of work to clean (let alone typeset.) But, that doesn't mean we couldn't still use translations for things! If you know Japanese pretty well, and see something you like on the site, just let me know when you'd like to get started and I'll get you what you need!



We could also use people who are writers- as in  Fan Fictions or professionally- to help localize the rough scripts. (You'd be proofreading at the same time.) This takes a lot of common sense and creativity. You'd need to keep the literal Japanese scripts as accurate as possible all while helping them read better and sound more natural for the English speaking audience. But I'm only looking for people who are really confident in their abilities; not people who just dabble and may not have the best spelling or grammar skills. Your final has to be mistake-free: because you really can't trust editors like me to catch things ;) It's definitely NOT my area of expertise.

Right now I'm actually not looking for more editors (cleaners and typesetters) UNLESS you've done it a lot before and can swear on your favorite pet's grave that you should be able to finish in short order. Normally I work with people and give them plenty of time to get things done but, right now, I'd rather try to crank it out myself than wait or spend the time teaching. So, if you think you'd be fine left alone with directions, cool! Hit me up. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

I'm also not currently looking for people to translate into other languages. We don't have enough editors. So I need to catch up before we can go there again.


So, yeah, I'll still be around to answer emails for the contest but, I may skip days here and there during the slower times so I can focus on this and I wont be on the forums, DA, or Facebook a whole lot.

Lottery for Hyrule Historia has been done!

Thank you to everyone who was able to get entries in by June 30th! I did the lottery style drawing for these early participants, to see who would get the copy of Hyrule Historia; and it hit on #16, which was the number assigned to WaffleTea. Congrats! Here's her piece below. And, I'm sorry to the other wonderful people who entered so far~ I will be wishing you luck for the future! If I had the money, it would be a book for everyone! Though I should be announcing another participation prize and deadline soon. Again, all the contest info can be found in the first post here. The real deadline is still months away.




The Goddess
"I painted this particular scene to show that moment when the goddess Hylia was given the task of protecting the Triforce. There and then, Hylia turned to face the five tribes of the surface who bowed to their goddess and protector."


In other news... I'll be a little scare because it's sort of vacation time for me right now: but I do have a few more replies to get to, some updates to do, and I need to get some stuff to people doing other Zelda-related projects. That's my first focus. So, if you're waiting to hear from me about the contest: I'll try not to take too long, but it might be just a little while. Thanks guys, you're already making this event great!
