Offered: Translation, Original fiction w/art

Jul 05, 2008 02:01

Offer: I will translate either the lyrics of 2 songs or 1 chapter of manga (usually 20-50 pages. doujinshi also counts as manga) from Japanese to English, or, if desirable, Japanese to Norwegian. Translation will be given in a .txt, .rtf or .doc format, depending on which you prefer. If you pick the manga chapter, I can try my hand at editing, and put the text directly on the scans, but please be warned that I have no previous editing experience.

I have a fairly large manga collection, and if I have the chapter, I will use that as a basis, and will be willing to scan it if you don't have scans. If I don't have the chapter, and it's in the FIRST VOLUME of a series, I will be willing to purchase it.
If the desired chapter falls outside these two categories, you will have to provide HQ scans for the translation.
For doujinshi, you will have to provide HQ scans, as doujin anthologies are fairly hard to come across if you're not a member of the circle publishing it, and I can't guarantee I can get my hands on it.
Please note that the offer is for Japanese-English only. I can't translate from Chinese or Korean scans. If you're unsure what language the scans you have are in, please e-mail me a sample page to ask before bidding.

For lyrics translation, you will have to provide the lyrics, preferably kanji, but romaji is acceptable. Translations will be more accurate with kanji. If you do not have the lyrics, please email me before bidding. There is a slight chance that I have the lyrics, or that I can get them by listening closely to the song.

Some samples of my translations:

Sample 2

(As an alternative, I am also willing to translate the up to 3 songs, or 2 pages of text from Norwegian to English or English to Norwegian.)

Minimum bid: $10
Delivery date: September 30th at the latest.
_________________________

Offer: Do you have a Japanese character, and you're looking for a name that's not taken from a random manga/anime character? Do you want him/her to spice up his language with a few Japanese phrases every now and then? Or perhaps you've seen a Japanese word or phrase you can't help wondering at?

Do you want a character from a special, foreign country, but you're not sure which to pick? If you're interested in a Norwegian character, I can help giving him/her a plausible, "Norwegian-sounding" name, or translate/suggest catchphrases, etc.

I have lived in both countries, so I will, to the best of my abilities, also help check whether his/her past/personality etc is plausible for having lived in the country if you want me to, free of charge.

For Japanese words, I will research kanji meanings, and write them out for you with step by step instructions of stroke order (the "correct" way of writing them), so you can try writing them yourself.

I offer a pack of up to 25 words, where you can mix freely between names (the first and last name of one character will count as a single word) in either language, or translation of words: English-Japanese, Japanese-English, English-Norwegian or Norwegian-English. (Or even Japanese-Norwegian/Norwegian-Japanese if, for some reason, you should want that.)

Minimum bid: $1
Delivery date: 1-7 days
________________________

Offer: At least 1000 words (most likely quite a bit more) of original fiction, accompanied by sketches of the main characters. I write male/male, for the most part, but I'm also willing to do het. Or random objects coming alive and feeling lusty, for that matter (done it once, why not again?). I'm most comfortable with crack and fluff, but I'll try my hand at other things as well. Normally, I write fantasy or contemporary (aka modern day life), but your wish is my command. ^__~

I DON'T write waterplay (golden shower), scat, heavy bondage, mpreg or underage sexual intercourse. Think that covers it. If you're wondering whether I'm willing to write something or not, feel free to ask.

For samples of my writing, please see my journal (spurious_sanity).

Character sketches will most likely be headshots (from shoulders up), but if I'm on a roll, it's quite possible you get more. ^__~ They won't be explicit in any way, though.

Preferred delivery is digitally (through mail, or posting it on my journal, etc), but it's negotiable.

Minimum bid: $5
Delivery date:  October 30th at the latest
