Ninja Translations

[lilian_cho]

1. I have qualms re: image sharing sites because it's borderline art theft.

2. I can't help browsing pictures there anyway. (Lame-yet-true excuse: Pixiv is sloooooow going. Am slowly browsing the Chuugoku tag there but it's not v. browsing-friendly =S)

3. I can't help wanting to translate some of the doujinshi I found.

4. 99% of the time, the doujinshika is not identified, so I can't ask for permission before translating.

and so:

5. I'm deleting all my ninja translations from the above-mentioned image-sharing site and posting them on LJ instead.

MOAR comments:

A. Please DO NOT LINK DIRECTLY to my translation posts. Link to the ninja translation tag, if you want. If anyone link to specific posts, esp. on image-sharing sites, I'll lock down those posts. Just humor me. Thank you.

B. If an artist comments/PMs me to take down my translation of their work(s), I'll delete those specific translation post(s).

C. If you know which artist drew the doujinshi I translate, please inform me and I'll retroactively ask for their permission to keep my translation post(s) public ^^;;

P.S. Am currently taking Third Year Intensive Japanese, if anyone's wondering about my Japanese-fu.

ETA 10:23 p.m.: Hopefully this warning is superfluous, but if there's any wank-y comments, I'll lock down the translation posts.
