ぷいぷい PuiPui

[Akirasav]

Will this be like a Hobit birthday, Krikit? Where the person whose birthday it is gives the gifts to the guests?

Also, whats the difference between a Project Administrator and a Project Supervisor? And does the PuiPui project need one?

[Krikit]

As for Shadow: Thanks for keeping me on track. I was getting too carried away with my skills, which are quite lame really . So I'll hope that there will be a way for me to find a T-checker. (translator/editor).

Akira: Hobbit, two b's . Yeah, it will be just like that. And on my birthday, when I have said I will finish Chapter 1....I will simply.....vanish. O_o As for project admins and supervisors, I have no idea.....according to the guidelines though, I just had to PM a couple people, and the guidelines gave their names. So that's what I did. So I don't really know, but in the end I don't think it will hinder too much .

Can't believe I didn't see this thread until now.3 t-up from my part.And good luck Krikit,show those kanjis what you're made of!

Actually we had a 'debate' over on the IRC channel on the PA's and PS's,and frankly,nothing changed,the way I see it.Too much bureaucracy here....

por shame fiend. To not notice this till now

anyway, I've edited the Synopsis to be the synopsis from the back of the first novel, translated as best I could.

Also, I've seen the edits the editors have done so far, and I'm exstatic, I love how it's turning out so far.

Also, let me know what you guys think. I'm wondering if I could add like a "synopsis" section on each novel section on the Main Page for PP, and how that would take off. Example:

Volume 1
*Color Illustrations
*Chapter 1
~~~
*Chapter 6
*Author's notes
*Synopsis
*Translators notes

My reason is this: we want these novels to be just like the style of there hard copy brothers, right? That's why we set up the sections like above? So why not have a synopsis there, which is the back cover of a book? Is that okay?

[ShadowZeroHeart]

The reason we put the synopsis at the front instead of on the back of the cover like a novel, i believe is...
because on the hardcover novel, you read the synopsis to decide whether you want to buy the book and open the book to read...

Whereas in a webpage, you don't scroll all the way down to read the synopsis to decide whether you want to read the webpage... you read downwards...? =X

[Krikit]

so what if I put it under the color illustrations then? It does sound a bit better there, because it can be skipped if need be, but it's there for someone who wants to read it, etc....actually, I like that idea a lot better

[ShadowZeroHeart]

Well, i guess that is fine...

but you are missing the point then ~.~

The synopsis in your project page is supposed to give a brief summary of the story to grab attention and interest... And Akira is suggesting to find an alternative to the wiki version...

[Krikit]

Ah well. It's not too important yet. It will only come into play once I start on say Volume 2 or something...for now, with Volume 1, there's no need. Because the overall story synopsis is the back cover of the first volume

Anyway, I've updated the text to 16%, and this is what we have so far.

Sierra's story. ( a bit of Jin)

~break~

Jin's at the dormitory

~break~ (This is where I'm at now)

Sierra's story

~break~

Then without giving a spoiler away, part of this part is in the teaser. So I can copy paste, and wa-la, instant update

[Krikit]

updated to 25%

1.5 more pages, and then + the teaser, for a grand total of 37%

but first, to go find a place to eat lunch at

EDIT2: But look at this, seriously....~20% in one day hahahaha, do I rule or what . (thanks to the editors for pointing out my many accidents )

[fiendmaw]

Wow Krikit you're such a workhorse,thank you!!!!!!

[Krikit]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm seriously starting to lost my mind.......I've literally been working on this ALL DAY.

Well....that's a lie, it was like, 1 page, 2 episodes of the simpson's, repeat. xx pages . Then there was dinner, and AMV's, etc.

But overall, my goal was to keep going. And without those breaks I would've gone nuts....and I might be losing it

But here we are, 1 day, 21 PERCENT!!! WHOOOOOOOOO

BEAT THAT!!

I really am a workhorse aren't I

I need a break....O_o

EDIT: PS Fiendmaw, I just realized come the day Toradora! is released to anime, it will be the same day that is your 1 year aniversary at B-T

[Akirasav]

Nice work Krikit. (Just be careful about coming off as a braggart.)

[Krikit]

I apologize...

I guess I'll just finish with this then.

The truth is I am happy with being able to translate something, even though I make mistakes. Often...

But Thanks to some People out there who have dedicated their time to helping me, this project has been able to come out better than I could have ever hoped, dreamed, or expected. (the last one is for you realists, who don't hope or dream )

So Thank You:

Akira: For your help with editing, solving grammar issues, and keeping me humble

Shadow0Heart: For your help keeping what I translate, in line with what it really means, and for translating KnS, which I check for updates every day

Elkin: for helping me fix translations that I have questions on, and showing me how to learn from my mistakes.

Trabius: For helping me learn Japanese while helping me with my translation questions, as well as for translating TD!, which I also check for updates

Vaelis: For helping with naming conventions, and working with Shadow0<3 on the manga version, which I want to read

fiendmaw: for finally noticing this project

Oni: because he has the koolest name ever GTO Rules!

Jigglypuff: Without whom, life wouldn't be worth living. To all your hair-brained schemes! (for those who don't know, JP = TheGiftedMonkey)
...

and all the other people out there I can't remember, I apologize....O_o

So yeah.....and with that, I need to get to bed. If you check out the PP! discussion page, I've got it to where I'm showing you how much I have translated, and how much of that is on the wiki, so if there are no updates for a while, you can at least see my progress

Thanks everyone for not bashing this project right from the get-go

Also, the fact that it's not even on the sidebar, and STILL has 200+ page views to date....haha, I'm so happy

Project Administrator = Administrator of Baka-Tsuki who is actively responsible for the project welfare

Project Supervisor = A member of Baka-Tsuki community who has assumed responsibility for the translation and general upkeep of the project


Its a two tie system, if you cannot get in touch with the supervisor, you can try the administrator.

sure, you can do this for any of the projects, but some are more interested to the administrators and are far more aware of the project progress then one who is not an admin of a project.

[TheGiftedMonkey]

Nice work Krikit. (Just be careful about coming off as a braggart.)

I don't think him bragging is really that bad. He does do a lot on Baka-Tsuki and I'm honestly impressed.

I take it back... I take it all back... *reaches for the ban hammer*
