This could be achieved by requesting help from other translation groups, not sure if it would be considered ethical by the Admins though, who from what I saw just wanted people to translate for fun.

Ethical, huh...well, technically, we're always 'recruiting'.

Maybe should we look at VNs?

VN Translation groups? If you're saying that, i'd think a better course of action would be to appeal to all types of groups, better success rate, bigger community, and a lot more fun. :]

Anyways, I decided to link two of my AMVs on YouTube to BT. However, they are crap, so no much difference.

Anyone know a VN translation project?

Not really, but why should we go into VNs, can we focus on LNs first? :|

The problem is that not many people outside of Japan wants to read novels

Even for me, I'm usually content with just the manga or anime version =/

True. ben is probably right, though many still don't know about LNs.

I go back to my point of the fact that there are thousands if not more out there that would be willing to read light novels, they just have no idea what they are, or how much they add on top of the Anime/Manga, and on top of that the fact that Light Novels usually have more content, and a longer storyline with more Arcs.

Thats the problem, trying to get people to realise this, while appealing an anime/manga that is on this website in LN form.

There's something called YouTube, Poke. Another one that's called Facebook.

I'm in for YouTube but not for Facebook though. Privacy issue.

Well if we had someone use a sultry voice while reviewing Light Novels and animes... Then we'd have a good way to get people's attention.
