Unlicensed/Dropped
Just added this so nobody starts flipping out because they haven't heard...
Vol. 1-2
Please translate them!
I've half a mind to XD But it seems as if they're off limits ^^;; Wow.... I've read up to book 17 O.O What does the 'unlicensed' thing above this mean???
Those volumes are still off limits since they are already published in English, its the same for 3-4 even though they arent yet. --Darklor 02:53, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Isn't it like this?
I am not sure about 'licensed' thing, but isn't translating it for free considered the same as fanart and staff? As long as you dont sell it, you should be able to be able to translate just fine. It's not like all of us have the possibility of buying it anyway.
This can be licensed but...
... but due to the low market demand Viz has stopped releasing the light novels after only 2 volumes. Can't you possibly consider resuming the project?
A quick reply
As of now, it's off-limits. We're still trying to stay low-profile as of now (Now impossible considering that Hachette already sent a C&D order over regarding the other series.) Also, even if we do reinstate this series, the translation progress wasn't enough to keep it alive, unlike say Zero no Tsukaima, mostly due to the difficulty of translation. If we can get enough help (you can never have enough translators though) and progress on this series and when Big Boss declares that it's safe, you can expect this series to be reinstated.
did anyone keep/not lose their copy of volume 7
updates claim that it was fully translated, so if anyone still has a downloaded version... could they re-upload it? (assuming that we don't have to start translating it all over again for legal reasons...) --17:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
For one with the right wiki rights should it be possible to restore them... --Darklor 20:16, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Good idea, asked Vaelis, hope he can help. If someone else with the proper permissions sees this (sysop or supervisor), Please! --Saganatsu 20:43, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
I can't do it but I've asked thelastguardian and onizuka-gto if they could do it. Vaelis 20:52, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
oh: thank you anyway! --Saganatsu 21:03, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
I have the translation, but I don't have the image LiTTleDRAgo 01:09, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the site still has images. Also, we don't need/want/can accept volumes 1-4, by decree of onizuka, probably for legal reasons (possibly they were what was covered by original C&D) --Saganatsu
1-2 are already published in English so its a no go (Its a Baka-tsuki rule - no English published/printed/licensed material in the wiki or forum), 3-4 for safetey reasons since they would be next in line. (btw. there was no C&D for SnS - not yet) --Darklor 03:00, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
correction: we do not have the images for volume 7. As the deletion log does not mention them being deleted (and they are not in the file list), I doubt that were ever uploaded, especially as the pages themselves don't appear to reference them. Would someone who has the images upload them? if it's not to much trouble:). --Saganatsu 03:05, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
I can attest to that. Only illustrations for volumes 3-5 were uploaded.
And btw, I still have volume 7 here--Teh Ping 03:12, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Project Revived!
I thought I wouldn't see this day come, regardless, cheers to the revival! \(≧ロ≦)/
You can thank many of the translators who are listed below, B-T admins, and just plain fans for that. It spawned an approximate 100 post topic amongst them, and look what happens XD? --Poke2201 (20:21)27 February 2011 UTC
