well if you have the books...does that mean you can read them too?

8)

Mind you, im not the one you should convince to take on the novel, even thought I myself am very interested in the series, it's ultimately up to the translators.

Mind you I have to remind you, Our Founder (thelastguardian) does not approve of publishing illegal materials on the forums or on the wiki, this means you will have to provide the raw materials to the translators yourself if any of them agree to it, unless our founder changes his minds.

Mind you, I don't think any of the translators are thinking of the next project yet. After all they are only here because of the Haruhi series. I suspect some of them will drop away afterwards.

But I think if you contact the translators individually, and see what they say?

perhaps I will put a poll up as well in the near future, with all the options and see what people say as well.

Even if none of the translators will take it on, we might attract some translators who will. :wink:

yea thats a great idea,

i will try and approach the translators too. but perhaps maybe you can also do the same and help out?

I can read the books but it takes me a long time to finish a page. So I`d rather not try to read 4 novels of them.

I will be able to provide the scans and I won`t be dling it off some website.

Please try and put up a poll for it so we can get something finally started for this series

oh, really? that was quick.

Well, In that case....er...mmm...don't...really...know.

haha.

Well, Is shiratoriryouko the only translator interested in the series?

anybody else? While one translator can do a novel, if its a series it can be abit too much.

I suppose we can do one novel and see if anyone is interested, after all no point doing a project that no one wants to read.

And while I think about it, i better see what elsae in this thread that has been suggested.

Edit: Compiling future series:

Shakugan no Shana
Escape From School
Seikai no Senki
Iriya no Sora, Natsu no UFO

I will be putting a poll up in a seperate thread.

A little off topic, but can anybody tell me the order in which the FMP novels are supposed to be read? Theres a whole bunch of them, like The end of Day by Day, Continuing on my Own, etc, along with a bunch of short stories. Also, is the anime based off the novels, or how are the novels related to the anime?

Edit: Ah nvm, Wikipedia is my friend.
