Hard Times Indeed

Hey everyone,

Alright well its time I unload a crap load of announcements on you all lol. I've put titles for each one so that should make it easier for those who just care about certain news. Have fun reading.

Virgil's Leaving

Ok well to start I wanna talk about Virgil. If you haven't noticed I've changed things back to the way they were and the reason for that is Virgil has left. Gil had gotten accepted to an exchange program to Spain so he has to leave to Spain I believe in the next few days. I'm not mad at him to be honest I mean hey if someone has to focus on their life since that is more important than editing then that's fine with me. I know he really wanted to stay with me however he won't have any time while he's in Spain and he wasn't sure how things would work since he would need to get a job there and with school and all, things would get hecktick for him. So yeah, I wished him well and he did the same and he also wanted to apologize to you all that he couldn't continue on.

Fayt's Leaving

Now then next isssss ummm myself... that's right I have some important news for you all on myself. I'll be leaving as well... yup I know its gonna be real sad. I'll be leaving for 1 month lol. I will be going on vacation for 1 month in May so unfortunetly there won't be any releases for the month of May. I will be back sometime for the first week of June, however even when I get back it'll take a while for me to get back on track since I need to get my laptop from school and set everything back up again. I'll be back on track with releases hopefully by the end of the first week of June or early on the second week. I was planning to have releases released while I was away which Virgil could do but he's off to Spain so there won't be any releases for that month. I'll make a post before I leave just informing people again and with instructions for you guys to follow which will involve stuff about emails and other stuff. I think I'm gonna need this vacation anyways, you guys tend to stress me out lol. Either way I think it'll be nice to have a break.

Projects

Now then, as for the projects that Gil was doing. I will be taking those over so no worries on those, they will not be dropped. Now because I'll be taking those 3 other projects Gil was doing I will not be adding anything new. The only stuff I will be adding is Sanbun's new work, Love and Hate vol 2 and maybe oneshots here and there at times. As for An Angel's Marshmallow, Vol 2 will be done by Oronae because well I originally was gonna do it however, yeah I got more then enough to do. So Oronae will do it and he said he'll finish it even if it takes a year to finish it lol.

Tadanohito

Alright now next up is some good news. I am very happy to announce a new joint work with Tadanohito and that new work issssss In Her Crack. Lol no its not new, its actually a project that I had DGB as the translator and well I've been trying to get translators to help me out with those as all I really need is those unfinished scripts. Anyway he will be providing me the scripts for In Her Crack and he won't be starting until maybe the end of June or July so that's some good news. Now all I need to do is get some help on those other 2 projects and hopefully I can get some in the future for those 2 (Chokyogakuen and Lamuros). I suggest you guys thank him since he is helping me for free and he himself has other work so for him to make time to help me out is really amazing so my thanks goes out to Tada for the help.

Recruiting Editors

Now things are technically back to square 1 with me with a crap load of projects and all. However I'm willing to let editors join me. So if you have editing skills and wouldn't mind doing some editing along side me then send me an email at faytear@hotmail.com and we'll talk. I am pretty loose however I do have rules you gotta follow like for instance you gotta use the same fonts I use, I gotta look them over before they get released and more. Also you gotta have editing experience, I don't want people with no experience editing since I prefer stuff to have a certain level of quality. I would most likely give you some of Virgil's projects to edit because the projects I'm editing I wanna personally handle. Ummm oh and since I am running low on time I'll be opening recruiting until this Friday so that gives me time to decide and explain some stuff and more. So yeah if you don't mind editing Virgil's stuff and maybe some other stuff then yeah just shoot me an email.

Sanbun, Sayuki and More

Now for some more good news. You guys can expect the new Sanbun to be added up in the next few days. A person has cleaned the first 3 chapters for me and I believe he'll be helping cleaning future chapters so that's great news for Sanbun fans. Also, I've just recieved Sayuki chap 18 side A... that's right I just got it however I am not gonna release it to the public. Nope I won't, I'm gonna hold it and release it when its edited. I am gonna need to get it funded so if there is someone that wants to fund it then send me an email. If it doesn't get funded then it won't get done. The faster I can get Side A funded and translated the more likely I can get the rest of the chapters of Sayuki done and hopefully released before I leave for vacation (it may or may not happen). I can say right now that people will be shocked to see this ending... I know I was lol.

Scanlators

Now this just recently just came to my attention and that's that even though I haven't started on some of the newer projects other scanlators that don't know about my site might do a random chapter or 2 of the projects I'm doing. So if you guys do notice that or see that please help me out and let those scanlators know while I'm away next month. I really wanna do all those projects I have... don't get me wrong I understand its a lot and you guys are gonna have to wait but I will finish them all. I'm not gonna screw people over and leave, I ain't like that, I always finish what I start. I always wanna make sure I'm the one to do the projects that I have and no one else gets it done espicially if its been fully funded already. So yeah if you guys can help stand up for me while I'm away and even if I'm here that would be very encouraging and helpful.

Other

Alright well that is it for the important stuff.... if you guys have any questions, comments or you just wanna say hi post it here. Oh and just for today you guys can ask me any question you want even if its when something is gonna get released... just post your question here. I'll try to get back asap with an answer.

For the releases over the next 2 weeks before I leave for vacation you guys can expect some stuff like the last chapter of An Angel's Marshmallow, sayuki 16 (and more if I'm not busy) a oneshot with YQII and more. The next release will be on wed so look forward to it.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: Somone has funded Sayuki chapter 18 Side A so no worries on the funds. Also here is a teaser page in case some of you don't believe I have it: TEASER (Notice the difference, could mean something)

Well, I can't say I am happy to hear about Virgil leaving and you going on vacation, but I can totally understand it. Virgil has to do what he has to do, and you deserve to get a vacation now and then, just like the rest of us.

I can't remember for sure who it was (biribiri maybe?), but I know there was a translator once who said he was going to use his vacation time from school to do 40+ hrs a week on translations, and I told him he was fucking nuts and that he should take a break. :-)

As for the news about Tadanohito helping you out, my first response is "SWEET!", and my second response is to say a big THANK YOU to Tadanohito. I also can agree with the Oronae thing, although I am a bit skeptical about how long it will take him. But like you said, you have more than enough stuff to keep you busy.

Hoo boy, this is getting long:
TL, DR; I agree with what you said and will *try* and be patient and wait for your releases. :-)

Damien said...

Enjoy you holiday and I'll wait patienlty while you are away. I'm pleased that you are upfront with us unlike others who just suddenly stopped posting on other blogs.

Metro Rage Anon said...

Well, that was a short partnership.

It's not so bad really, scanlating japanese porn shouldn't be the top priority for anyone really. It should always be a hobby, setting up yourself for life always comes first.

But fuck you for cockteasing us about Side A dude, you got me hooked in Sanbun shit and now wave it in front of us like it's candy!

Also enjoy your vacation.

3333h said...

Good luck to Virgil, and happy May holiday to you.
I hope you'll enjoy them.

Only one question Fayt: the joint project with Tadanohito is GREAT, i love Tomoe Tenbu. I know you are full of project, but there will be a chance to finish WISE ASS in the future ? First 6 chapters are translated by DesuDesu, there are other 6 chapters.

Thanks in advance.

Fayt you are a FUCKING BASTARD. You have new sanbun and you won't give us!!
If i find you i HAVE to KILL YOU, you little shit!!

And fuck off your holiday!!!!!!!!

Ecchifan said...

Hi, i just want to ask you if the last chapter of Angraecum will ever be done of it will be dropped (if it will be done can i ask you more or less when?).
Lastly i wish you a good vacation, you work hard for all of us and you deserve some rest.

S@t said...

what about the FuggaA?A?AA?

blackinmind said...

well enjoy you holi, little by little we're losing translators, fated, Kusanyagi, seijin, dgb, and maybe more. I'm a sad sad panda

Anonymous said...

Where do I go to get An Angels Marshmellow? Like site url.

Fayt said...

@Zathael,
I actually was thinking of doing editing on my vacation but by the looks of things I'll probably have little to no time. Oronae just wants to see it get done even if its not him doing it so at least he is doing it for free.

@Damien,
Your welcome. I don't wanna just leave and then everyone might end up having a heart attack lol. I like to keep people informed.

@Metro Rage Anon
Yep life definitely comes first that's way I ain't mad at Gil leaving. Lol I was expecting the rage from people after saying that I wouldn't release it and here I stand correct. Don't worry I'll try my best to release it before I leave.

@333h,
I highly doubt it and the only way I would do that is if someone funds for the scripts to get done.

@Anonymous (1)
LOL

@Ecchifan,
Technically its already done... its edited already I just haven't released it yet. I donno when I'll release it but it'll get released sometime this year. Also thanks.

@S@t,
You again eh? lol well I don't have the scripts anyway so no way I can do it. I donno when I'll get it.

@blackinmind,
Yeah, but new ones seem to come out its just a matter of them staying and no worries I'm not leaving.

@Anonymous,
Type it in, in the search box on the top left or go to my "Other Projects" on the top right.

Drake said...

Regarding Vergil: studing abroad is a huge chance and a valuable experience(and Spain isn't bad either the food is great the scenery also not too bad but depends on the region) there are things that are just more important than others.

And you are just awesome always suppling us with top-quality stuff. You deserve your vacation.

Good luck to Vergil and nice Vacation to you.

Tecnproy said...

Damn, it's really sad that virgil is leaving, i mean, he prefers to go to Spain rather than be working as our slave realising stuff!, How egoistic can he be?!?

Fayt, i guees nothing much can be done, everyone needs a break from time to time, so, i hope you enjoy those vacations and make them worth it, because don't expect to have another ones for the next 10 years XD

So, i can only offer my help on friday until you explain some shits and rules isn't?D=, well, expect a mail from my part~

greets~

It's great that Virgil's going to spain. too bad though, he'll be missed here.
times like these i wish i knew how to edit and stuff. my exams finish in a month, so i'll have some spare time. can anyone point me to a few sites from where i can learn editing, specially editing manga.

ryu77 said...

Well, good luck to Virgil in his new adventure in Spain.

And to Fayt, everyone needs some vacation (I sure fucking need one too).

OH, and I'm just happy that SIDEA has been obtained.

Anonymous said...

Please post the raw for ch. 18 side A, Fayt. I can't wait, need to see wat happens.

Oliver said...

You scared the shit out of me, with the second announcement, you know, Fayt ? :D

Anyway, I wish you well in Spain, Virgil, work hard and prepare yourself even better times in the future :)

I could add a selfish remark that I'm disappointed to see Viva Freedom, already funded, coming second, or third, or 273rd maybe, but well, I can't help it either.

Take care, you two, Fayt and Virgil, don't overwork yourselves :)

Anonymous said...

I just like to say that Virgil has expanded his pervertedness. The manga's are no longer keeping him satisfied and he has to go to the core, which is Spain. Nah jks lolz, but its good to see that everyone else also understand that you guys are also Human. xD

Anonymous said...

could you possibly keep an angel's marshmallow on the back burner somewhere since Oronae seems to already have disappeared again?

Anonymous said...

Is there one more chapter for an angels marshmallow in volume 1? I thought I read that in you chapter 7 post? Will you finish that one and then be done with it, or leave oronae to do it?

Metro Rage Anon said...

*Watches Side A preview*

Well! Time put on some body Kevlar all over myself because my rage will be *fucking* biblical!

Anonymous said...

So your in the same boat as us aging anime and manga fans huh? Well we can't complain to that. If I were you I'll take my time. It's not like all of this is going away after a few months. Just in July we expect Saiyuki to be finish eh?

I think you should seek more joint projects. It would make thinks much easier and faster.

Fayt said...

@Oliver,
Lol, scaring people can be fun at times. Also as for Viva Freedom, don't worry its not being dropped or anything, I'll most likely take on the editing for that or maybe someone else since I've opened up recruiting.

@Anonymous (That asked about An Angel's Marhsmallow)

I"m not sure what you mean, you see even if I do pick up Vol 2 it would take time for me to get around to it, so if you guys don't mind waiting then I'll be more then happy to pick it up. However I'm not sure how you guys would feel having to wait if I were to pick it up. I guess I'll think about it and maybe post something on that in my next news. Plus Oronae is still there he's just going at a slower pace I guess.

@Anonymous (that asked about the final chapter for vol 1)

Yes I'll be doing the final chapter before I leave.

@Anonymous (the last one)
Um I don't think that would make things faster unless you mean let other people edit my projects, then yea it would be faster however to be honest I'm not sure I wanna let others edit it cause I'm quite picky with quality of editing and I prefer to handle certain projects myself then to have someone else edit it with less quality editing.
