I was going to make a move, but damn it, the next chapter is the most expensive one :D
ReplyDeleteSayt, Lhytiss, is it possible for me to pay for the chapter 4 (21.60$) instead of the chapter 3 (55.20$) ? ^^
PS : just in case, since your donators blog still requires some kind of identification before leaving a comment, I make the precision, this is Oliver, from hentairules.net
I must have a dozen google accounts, I create a new one with a new email every time I don't remember my login for one or another google service, so I have no idea under what name I'll appear here, posting as a google account user ^^;;
LOL.. XD
ReplyDeleteNo problem , dude !
Just..Don't blame me later if somebody started bitching at your place for not finishing the first story arc ! =p
Haha, no need to hurry, I'll send the money for c3 and we can wait until somebody pays c2 ^^
ReplyDeleteerr
ReplyDelete2->3
3->4
omg. Found this work on hentairules.net.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting FOREVER for someone to translate this. I was like "wtf?!" when this was getting passed up and people were translating all the newer stuff.
I'll throw in some money on the 2nd of Jan.
Oliver, I don't think you have to fund a whole chapter at a time. If you wanted to just throw $20.00 at chapter 3, that would still help.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why, but people seem to always think for donor projects that if they can't afford a whole chapter, then there is no point in donating at all. I don't get it. *shrug*
I think, Zathael, this gives the donator the impression this chapter becomes, in a very relative way, his property.
ReplyDeleteYou're a frequent donator, I'm certain you take pride in donating, and these commissions they become "your" commissions, don't they ?
I suppose that will be why people will be reluctant to funding half a chapter and will prefer to fund a full chapter - if they can afford it - instead.
Just my guess, at least :)
And 21.60$ were already on their way at the time I've been sending that comment ^^
@Oliver
ReplyDeleteThank you for the purchase.. =p
And I have some good news and some bad news..
The good news :
As I'm writing this, the chpt 2 is currently in uploading process.. ^^
The bad news :
It HAS failed once, and now it's going steady at 0.5 Kb/s..-_-a
Not a good sign I'd say...
I hope I can finish this &*@#^&*^ before 2010.. >,<
@Oliver, I can understand the idea of "owning" a chapter. But that idea also scares away some people who could otherwise be encouraged to donate. I have read on some blogs where someone would comment something like "I would like to help, but I can't afford an entire chapter", as if they think that they *have* to fund an entire chapter at once. As much as I like the idea of "owning" a chapter, I also like the idea of seeing Lhytiss getting 100 people who all donate a dollar, which ends up fully funding the rest of the manga.
ReplyDeleteYou've seen stuff translated by tadanohito before, his credits pages sometimes have 30 or 40 names on them! I would *love* to see a project where I pay for one chapter, and 40+ people pay for the rest of the manga. I think it would give them all a sense of accomplishment, that they would all think to themselves "Hey, *I* helped get this done."
@ Oliver and Zathael:
ReplyDeleteOliver! You're kidding me right? People donate a few bucks at a time on tadanohito.net. All of their projects are funded that way. Rarely does any one person support a whole chapter unless they did well in the stock market that day.
If more translators followed Tadanohito.net's example, there would be much much more paid/donated translations going on.
Well, it's just the way I saw things.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, Lhytiss,you could write it in big letters for the persons like me : that it's possible to give smaller sums ?
@Oliver:
ReplyDeleteHey Oliver, going back and re-reading what I posted earlier, I realize that I probably sounded like an ungrateful ass. My apologies. Instead of bringing up the whole chapter vs buck-at-a-time debate, I should have simply been thankful that you had donated towards the project at all. Again, sorry for sounding ungrateful, and thank you fo your donation.
Hey there I would like to donate to this cause,since i'm a big fan of distance's works. but i click on the donate button and i get nowhere. I have a paypal account so i just need your info or just tell me how i can get this rolling. Oliver's blog led me here so i guess i have him and you to thank of course.
ReplyDelete@josh
ReplyDeleteThank you for your interest.. =)
Anyway, I change the 'button'..
I hope I get it right this time.. ~_~a

Hi Zathael, I'm a known penis from time to time. I just put some chips in the pot.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for fixing the link i just deposted some money but i didn't mention which chapter. just put it towards the chapter that hasn't been funded which i guess is the last one. Thanks again keep up the solid work!
