===About Me===
==Officially Retiring from the KnT Translation Project==
Hi! Newbie translator here. Read my translations at your own risk.... ^_^


----
Pardon the abrupt announcement. (Well it's the last! XD) Thought I'd clean things up a bit before I poof.
===RL is knocking at my door===
Hmmm... Not sure if anyone's gonna see this announcement. Anyway, if you were curious enough to look at my page, then here it is...


Nope, that's not quite right. Actually, real life has been banging my doorbell for the past few weeks. I'm just ignoring her with my whole being....LOL Now, I have to answer to my responsibilities. Work, exams, friends, etc...
Things haven't been going smoothly for me these past few months both online and offline. Honestly, even though I love this series so much, being part of the project and the fandom has been quite stressful and emotionally draining for me. In the end I could barely keep up with my various translation duties ''and'' my other responsibilities. So I'll just up the last few chapters I've translated and quit entirely.  


Last month, I was bold enough to try and translate 30-40 pages each week. But starting next week (July 8, 2012), I'll be reducing that by half. So, from two or three chapters a week, I'll be submitting just one medium-length chapter (or two short ones). If I dare translate long chapters they'll have to be split into two or more parts, so I'd rather not....
It's been ''exactly'' three years since I started, and I really, really, regret not catching up with all of the volumes.  I do hope the project finds a new translator and live on (or better yet, the series gets license-rescued and be given a professional translation the second time around).  


Hey, did you think I was going to quit? No way! If Kino no Tabi were a drug, I'd be in rehab right now. What I fear right now are the withdrawal symptoms of having less Kino no Tabi each week. So to compensate, I'll probably do some less tedious stuff, like adding pictures to the chapters.... or brushing up my Japanese.... After having some of my translation mistakes pointed out, I tried rereading some of my previous translations and found them... less than satisfactory. I guess that's expected when a casual learner tries to translate.... T_T

Officially Retiring from the KnT Translation Project[edit]

Pardon the abrupt announcement. (Well it's the last! XD) Thought I'd clean things up a bit before I poof.

Things haven't been going smoothly for me these past few months both online and offline. Honestly, even though I love this series so much, being part of the project and the fandom has been quite stressful and emotionally draining for me. In the end I could barely keep up with my various translation duties and my other responsibilities. So I'll just up the last few chapters I've translated and quit entirely.

It's been exactly three years since I started, and I really, really, regret not catching up with all of the volumes. I do hope the project finds a new translator and live on (or better yet, the series gets license-rescued and be given a professional translation the second time around).

Thanks to everyone who treated me well here, and goodbye! ^_^ Ella.servantes (talk) 10:57, 5 April 2015 (CDT)
