Chaotic Academy - need translators / proofreaders please

[alexlmlo]

Hi, I think some of you have heard of the novel Chaotic Academy, the original title would be "混亂學園", this is a Chinese novel written by Cat (貓邏).

If you don't know who Cat is, she is actually an author under the same publisher as Yu Wo, author of 1/2 prince, roughly started to write novel at the same time, they are friends themselves.

About the novel, the story somehow like 1/2 prince, the main character is a female but somehow change to a male in the academy, and create some chaos.

Our group had started like half a year ago but nothing really happened until last month, we finally got 2 translators and 1 proof reader. Currently we have a rolling translation system and each translator have 4 weeks to translate a single chapter.

(no more msn meeting now)

[We are currently having a msn meeting every Saturday 14.00 (GMT +0) to discuss any translation related issues, to be proud to say, Cat the author, would attend the msn meeting as well, we are officially approved by the author as the English version of the novel, and the author is actually working with us to tackle any translation issues, lol.]

To prove how close we and the author is, this is the link to author's blog, where she posted a recruitment advert for us.

If you are interested to help, either as a translator (Chinese to English) or a prove reader (English to English), please contact us via: [email protected]

wow, thx a lot.
The plot... hmmm

In a fantasy world that consists of many clans- vampires, humans, elves etc, there is a teenage girl named Dia, who appears to be quiet and polite, but usually suppresses her wild, “masculine” side in attempt to maintain her refined image. She is portrayed as the “perfect daughter” in the eyes of many adults, who often advise their children to have her as a role model. Her best friend, Princess
Lisa, is the only one who knows that both sides of Dia exist. After a fight with her mother, who complains that she should be more like Dia, Lisa then bets Dia could attend her school- a royal magic academy- as a guy, without being discovered- thus the family supports Dia’s tuition fee and insists her to attend.

Despite Dia’s protests, her family happily agrees, and with their help, Dia is transformed into a teenage guy, who turns out to be surprisingly handsome. Upon her entry of the school, she encounters interesting characters, under a magical schooling environment and these events are only the beginning of the building chaos, which she has to pull through- while concealing her true identity.
