Fan-interested series
Okay guys, this would be a place where you can add your LN(s) recommendation to make me consider working at Baka Tsuki and cancelling my retirement. This isn't a vote like the last time, but something that you can add for me to consider whether I should work on the series. Rules are simple. More than 20 words to justify why you want me to work on that particular series, and the story should be about the plot synopsis only (which means no comments like 'because this guy's so cool' or whatsoever). Series that are not to be included are the ones I worked on/am working on/will work on (in other words, the ones that were named on my main talk page). After your comment, please add a --~~~~ at the back or else it won't be considered.--Teh Ping 07:41, 13 January 2012 (CST)
Let's try it. It's the right section for suggestions, ins't it? Wouldn't stop at this point, though.
Alright, now to the actual business. I suggest translation of Rental Magica. Reasons:
- It focuses solely on magic. Of course, it's about dark side and normal side of things but isn't it more interesting that way?
- It's really big series. I don't ask impossible, and I don't think that you'll agree to work on more than 20 volumes solo. I'd be more than satissfied if you'll agree to translate even one volume of RM. That is, if it'll stop you from retiring.
- I don't want translators to go MIA if there's even a small possibility that you wouldn't retire. Of course, I don't want to force you and it's only your right to decide but it's just my opinion.
- Back on topic. Why only one volume for start? I just want to see if main character won't be just thickheaded idiot who relies only on one specific ability of his. Also, I haven't read yet any series which were focused only on magic.
Phew. Please, consider my suggestion. Retirement is a big thing, after all. --Rock96 11:52, 8 February 2012 (CST)
Comments to go under here
Oh my, you look pretty professional. Going to Hong Kong? Say Hi to Oni XD Kira (Talk) 19:20, 27 October 2011 (CDT)
Just a little guideline. Won't be as active once August 2012 comes though, since I would be in university (college)--Teh Ping 01:31, 31 October 2011 (CDT)
That would make sense, college is quite the pain. Good luck with keeping up with this. We (speaking for all your fans) are looking forward to reading your work! Hobogunner 04:16, 31 October 2011 (CDT)
I should be able to allocate a novel once a month after that, somehow...--Teh Ping 07:41, 13 January 2012 (CST)
Kara no Kyoukai has already been fully translated.
But this page isn't complete. Knowing Teh_ping, I think he'll want to complete it somehow.
Should Teh_ping complete this series then? I know there are other series to work on, and that it would be much more efficient to work on other series like Zero no Tsukaima and Aria, runner ups in the last poll, but since Teh_ping says that it'll be his last series, let's not allow him to do so then.
WTF!!!? Enough with taking so many series already, Teh_ping! Get your butt down and just work on SAO already!
What the hell was the last comment? Hey, Teh Ping isn't your dog, you cannot force him to do what he doesn't want to. Alright, enough with ranting, guys, it's irritating. If you wanna Teh Ping to continue translating after KnK, just tell him about that. If you're crazy fan of one series (insert_name_here), then just wait. --Rock96 20:44, 13 January 2012 (CST)
You know, I'll just ignore those comments from that SAO 'fan'. My fault for not asking Oni yet. And yeah, I know that other people have completed it. Just want to complete it myself here (unless someone uploads it onto Baka-Tsuki, which I'll be really glad to step aside.--Teh Ping 22:52, 13 January 2012 (CST)
Ice Milk Tea, I know its kinda unreasonable to ask anything but I do hope that you could accelerate the translation on volume 9 Baka to Test Shokanju. I am dying to know how Yoshi and Himeji relationship developing on. Of course it can wait until after CNY. And Happy Chinese New Year. -- Anon 22:39 21 January 2012
I don't intend to deviate too from my schedule now considering that each plan I have for the month is the bare minimum I expect myself to complete. Of course, if I can finish things faster than what I expect, I'll push the next release earlier.--Teh Ping 22:48, 21 January 2012 (CST)
Hi, i think you should translate Monogatari Series, it is so weird and fascinating the way the novel is written, and nobody really want to translate it, because if i'm not mistaken, it is a very difficult novel to translate, hard lines and all that. -- Pold10 12:46 21 January 2012 (UTC -4)
It is a nice read. I'm not that confident in my Japanese though. I'm already struggling with Shana because of the style, and for Monogatari, it's more like 1 hours translating and 2 hours researching. I may pick it up once I have the confidence to do so, but there's no guarantees--Teh Ping 22:48, 21 January 2012 (CST)
Happy CNY Ice Milk Tea, according to your planning, Baka Vol 9 will only be translated on May 2012. This mayb my selfish request but perhaps you could swap the Baka Vol 5 (on March 2012) with Baka Vol 9? --- Anon 01:11 23 January 2012 (CST)
Well, I was requested earlier to take over vol 5 first before (And I do prefer to go in order).--Teh Ping 02:35, 23 January 2012 (CST)
You should take up doing Mahouka because its has a fairly interesting plot about modern day magicians where magic is considered a Technology rather than a figment of lore--Tachibana 03:52. 23 January 2012 (CST)
It will be a topseller, no doubt. The question is whether I would find it interesting, and whether it's against my values (I had been treading on the line for quite some time with Index and IS), because having read it, it's kind of like an incest version of Nanoha.--Teh Ping 04:39, 28 January 2012 (CST)
