I need to go back and doublecheck the page count sometime when I'm not so tired and crispy-brained, but leaving out all nonsense of title pages and free talk and such it looks like these books have a combined total of 69 pages of actual story. However, only one of the books is particularly dialogue-heavy; the others are full of lots of pretty atmospheric panels with no more than one or two brief captions or small word balloons, including lots of the ever-popular "..." I should rescan these at a higher resolution before you start actual work on the project, but if you want to glance over them to determine if you want to charge a little extra for the page overrun, I can send you my current set of 200PPI scans...

I'll ask Stripey about the extra 9 pages. It's really up to him, since 9 pages doesn't take me long to get through... though that comes to the question of whether you want your sfx edited in, the translations in the margins, or just blank. With each option, you'll get a progressively faster return (especially if I don't have to edit in the sfx XD), but it's completely your decision.
As for an extra donation, I'd say it's really up to you. I think it's a fabulous idea because it's not my money and yay charity XDD But if you don't want to or can't swing it, then don't worry about it.
Upload the 200PPI scans in any case. As long as the dialog is clear (and not overly trapped in the gutter), Stripey can start working on the tsl, while you rescan.

That photograph is from Otakon last year! We had a whole group of stylized baroque costumes. It was beautiful *___* Links to the posts are here: http://del.icio.us/daisychama/cosplay
I know what you mean about the sfx. Some manga ka, like CLAMP, use sfx that are practically art themselves! And.... it really does cut editing time in half (at least!) to just leave them there, and usually looks better in my opinion. Not that I don't edit a mean sfx, but you know >D
I'll ask Stripey about the 9 pages. He had said 5 pages over wouldn't be a big deal, so I assume 9 would be fine too, though it'll obviously take him longer to finish. Do the books you want have furi?
And sure. We can absolute send you the txt when they're done. That's no problem at all.

(Just heard back from my fic-writing friend doing the piece based on the weird AU doujin, btw, and she is ECSTATIC at the thought of a scanlation. Not only are you fundraising for a worthy cause, you're going to be producing immense amounts of squee among 585 fangirls around the world. *grin*)

Great! I hope it lives up to her expectations. ^^

If you're poking Stripe for that answer/pricing and don't mind bugging him with one last question, if it's not too much trouble, I'd love to know just a ballpark estimate of roughly how long he thinks it might take before the do-this-first one, Shinkai Ni Sumu, might be ready in text-file form. (I totally wouldn't hold you to that as a formal deliver-by date, of course, I completely understand how life can get in the way! I just thought it would be a nice little bit of inspiration and encouragement for my ficcing pal if I could give her a rough timeframe of when she might be able to get some proper background details straight from the source. :)
