We'd like to add our translation of the Slayers novels here
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2012 6:38 am
Greetings,
I hope this is the appropriate section to discuss this. Me and two friends have been translating parts of the yet unpublished Slayers novels over the course of the last 7 months, and we thought we could include our project into the Baka-Tsuki website, partly because the 9th novel is already hosted here, and partly in order to hopefully attract a native English speaker to proof our work, which has been the greatest bottleneck so far. My question is, if this is possible, what is the procedure for it? The current Slayers project admin, Spore, has been inactive for three years, and I could not find a way on the site to contact him.
For reference, our currently released work can be downloaded from the following links:
The second half of novel 10 (continued from where QP/Diana left off on her own site):

Chapter one and two of novel 11:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?n5zvm7q0c47z2z7
One thing I believe I have to note, though: our translator is Korean, and our work is based on the Korean translation that is available there. (We do use the original Japanese novels as reference when in doubt.) I don't know whether this could be a problem.
Thanks for any help you could provide in advance,
