Comics, whee!

T:RC volume 7 is in stores~! *just picked it up* As well as CLAMP no Kiseki volume four, but I didn't have enough cash on me for that and I'm not too comfortable with my debit card yet. Anyway, I bought it~ And I'm all happy now, even though I don't have the next xxxHolic book, 'cuz it has T:RC!version Ohra and Seishiro.

Oh, I also had a very stupid idea. You know how I have all those comics in German at home? Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Detective Conan, Full Moon wo Sagashite and Time Stranger Kyoko? Well, all except TSK are currently being 'officially' translated into English. So I thought, "Hey, I have lots of friends who know German; I have manga; I have a scanner; I have programs that can let me alter images; why not start a (mini) scanlation project?"

So, stupid idea, yes? Can I convince anyone to help me with it anyway? I'll need at least two people on translation (to have two different ideas of what a character might be saying, or in case one needs some time off due to school, etc (and I know there's at least two of you out there)), and probably a quality checker or two (who might also happen to be a translator). I'll probably have to release the final versions on YSI, too. Any takers out there for this really stupid idea? Anyone? At all? *hopeful eyes* Please reply here if you're interested, as it will be easier for me to keep track of than e-mail.

[Edit] I probably should've warned you, Time Stranger Kyoko is about as shoujo as you can get. Take it as a good sign that it's magical girl rather than pure romance. That means it'll have some action, even if it is just floating bubble magic. [/Edit]

Tomorrow starts the long line of birthdays. Need to finish up MoF's fic...

Event Horizons

Just got back from Astronomy. Well, not just just, it's been about half an hour, but pretty close. Learned lots about black holes. Have decided that I need to call a fic or a chapter or something 'Event Horizon', because it's just that damn cool.

Project "Scanlate TSK" is going relatively well; I've got two translators lined up, one of whom doubling as a QC'er. Also holding out to see MoF's feelings on the project: she volunteered to do translating stuff for me a long time ago, so she's in if she wants to be.

Got some work done on Communications ♥ So far it's really crappy and way too much exposition and in need of severe editing all around, but I can fix that when I type it up. At the moment I'm just happy to be writing it at all. This means there may be a little delay on both MoF's birthday fic and Summercloud's other birthday request, but I've got something lined up that I hope will make up for it--at least a little.

Tomas stole the computer for a few minutes, so I distracted myself by reading T:RC. I'm about at page 88 right now. ( Cut for spoilers for T:RC book 7 and xxxHolic book 7-ish )

And that's about it for now. I managed to finish the feast for my CFUD calendar picture, but I've got more pressing issues ahead for that--specifically, what type and shape I want the table to be, and, later, how the heck I'm going to get around fourteen characters (two not even from Bleach) into the same picture and what on earth will they be doing.

Also feel like working some on Small Things in the near future, and other varied WiPs. (Mostly Small Things, though, as it has seniority, and I need to do more DC fic anyway.)
