[admin post] Admin Post: Tumblr sideblog + Seeking editors

EDIT: The break will be extended until further notice.

---

I'm still on a break, but I would like to take this moment to announce the existence of my new translation sideblog.

http://yonakayaku.tumblr.com/

I will be posting any updates to that tumblr. The actual novel translations will of course remain here.

Seeking editors
I mentioned before that the non-edited text doesn't read naturally enough. It's too literal. It needs to read like a story you'd find in a book. So I need some people willing to proofread the chapters I've translated. It would be great if you could help me out!

Your tasks:

  • Grammar and spelling check
  • Improve the readability (where needed: change phrasing, cut up long sentences, etc).
  • Try to keep the original meaning of the translated text.
  • If the meaning isn't clear or something doesn't make sense, please tell me.


You may leave a comment at the bottom of each (sub)-chapter, but mailing me is better (touchturnfly at gmail). There's no need to do it in order or to do everything at once. I will compare the edited text against the original for accuracy and change where needed. After you're done I will put the approved edited text into the post along with your name at the bottom.
