			Dear John,

			precedent could be refer to scripts uploaded by Deadgye, who i have allowed to upload scripts from an anonymous source (vol.16. Chapter 10).
			But stipulation is that you must take responsibility, and register the chapters with your username as a proxy for the script.

			If flaws are detected within the script, we will have to depend on the staff translators and other editors to give us indication. If the project team deems it too inaccurate, we will shift it into a preview.

	I'm a bit conflicted about changing the past tense to present, though I don’t mind either way, generally narratives are written in past tense although there are exceptions (not sure if this is one of them). But just though I would point out according to BT convention they should be defaulted to past tense [[Baka-Tsuki:Project_Conventions#Default_Verb_Tenses:_Narrative_Tenses\|BT convention]].

			It has the effect of sounding less like an impersonal historical timeline, and more like a historical epic.

			!--- Telling me to replace “me” with “I”---> Mn?

			PS: Oh, and as for "I see, so that's why he was having a tryst with his lover(doll). Since it was such a rare occasion, I wonder if I've done something bad."

			The reason it's not "his lover, the doll" is because the Japanese can be taken in two ways.
			:1. "I see, so that's why he was having a tryst with his {{Furigana\|lover\|doll}}. Since it was such a rare occasion, I wonder if I've done something bad."
			:2. "I see, so that's why he was having a tryst with his lover('''read''': doll). Since it was such a rare occasion, I wonder if I've done something bad." ala the English joke/casual speak.

	And I thought I told you to message me whenever you made major edits to the chapters I translated? :/ I'm angry right now not because you made incorrect edits, but because I might never have noticed you making careless mistakes with the scripts. I refresh 'recent changes' when I'm procrastinating, but you can hardly expect me to always do so, can you...?

			Well, if you did tense only, it might be less of a waste of energy for you each time I change one of your less perfect edits back. But mn, the biggest issue is that I just want you to leave me a message telling me that you've edited a chapter, and that I should go check to make sure there's nothing that's been mistakenly changed, that's all. As I've said, I usually do reword every single line in the chapter at least 2~3 times (some many more times), so in general I'm pretty happy with the words I've chosen myself (for whatever reason I may have). Still, I'm not going to deny that some parts of each chapter are done when I'm dead tired, it hasn't been done in the best way possible.

			tldr;
			:1. I'm usually very happy with my wording, and if you think "Hm. This looks awkward. I could word it like ''this'' instead.", just keep in mind that it's very likely that I've worded it like that (and not the way we would typically in English) for a reason.
			:2. When you do change anything besides CM→US spelling, or the tenses, please leave me a message so I know to have a look when I'm free.

			Cheers (:

			^ incorrect. Sometimes if the grammar doesn't make sense in a dialogue, it's not supposed to.
