Gundam Unicorn

Maybe because I didn't advertise myself? Then again, it's pretty good pay. US 20 cents per word.

[hobogunner]

Is that per word before translation or after?

Either way, you could buy out all the U.S. translation companies if you started getting that.

[YoakeNoHikari]

The problem is convincing the companies that, if you were to localize the book for whatever location, they would make a profit.

I didn't necessarily mean light novels, did I?

They want a portfolio, B-T's my portfolio.

Well, here's an illustration. 20 cents per word (including tax). Index has an average of 75,000 words. Translated 11 volumes in all for that series (with 2 by bits). Baka Test has an average of 65,000 words (completed 3 volumes). IS has an average of 62,000 words (3 volumes). Shana has about 70,000 words (2 volumes).

Question of the day: How much did I earn?

Spoiler! :

Nothing.

Nothing.

Wrong.

Spoiler! :

-$238 for electrical bills

[Darklor]

But that wasnt your question! You should have asked: How much did you lose.

[hobogunner]

That is one crazy expensive electric bill.

Spoiler! :

Also, without tax, that's 104,200 dollars. Maybe you should turn off your TV, computer, microwave, and 30 hot water heaters every once in a while.

Am I lucky to have electricity for a very cheap price in Qc?

c'mon, you're not even the one paying.

[Teh_ping]

Relax, that's for how much I spent during my time on B-T.

But that wasnt your question! You should have asked: How much did you lose.

That would be too obvious. Also, you either win (earn) or you lose stuff.

That's just some random logic.

[Mystes]

c'mon, you're not even the one paying.

Well, in a way, yes.

Anyways, here, it's 6.88 cents the kWh. In my case, I'm happy with the price.

While we're on the subject of electricity may I mention that in UC, all mobile suits do not run of ultra combact batteries anymore. Now they use Minsovky particle reactors.

[Teh_ping]

Don't worry, I won't forget that. They're not using what GN particles or N-Jammer Canceller or whatever lol.

Now I just need RAWs...

[hobogunner]

Why are both of you so off topic? We're talking about electricity costs here.

I've never seen that really come into play with any Gundam series that I've seen. I know that they always explain the principles behind the Gundam, but, never saw them run out of a battery or anything like that. (Unless there is some way to rig a particle reactor to blow up.) Yet, fighting in space, there are no particles, so there is still a limited fuel supply.
