Scanlation-related
Q: Are you a group of people who translate her works? Will you do scanlations of her works?
A: We are a community which aims to provide you as much information as possible regarding sensei and her works. We want to make this a fun place where her fans can gather to appreciate her works! However, this community is NOT a scanlation team itself (although some might be scanlators), but we do link to scanlation groups who have done/will translate her works. If there are translations made, we may post translations up for viewing.
Q: May I redistribute/post download links of other groups' scanlations of sensei's works even if I'm not part of their team?
A: It depends on the groups' policies. If you are NOT allowed to share their download links (like MediaFire or MegaUpload links), please do not break this rule. If we find out that you do, your post will not only be deleted but you will also be barred from this community.
Q: May I take any raws from this community and scanlate it?
A: You may as long as you request for permission. We understand that we hold no power over distribution of scans since it's illegal in the first place, but the least anyone can do is to respect, appreciate, and give thanks to the raw provider by asking for permission.
Q: If there are translations posted, and I can scan in raws and clean and typeset, can I turn it into a scanlation?
A: If the translation is meant for another group, that is of course not a good idea. If it isn't, it'll be awesome if you could contact the translator and get a scanlation released. :D
Q: Is it okay if I translate the scanlations into another language?
A: Please direct questions to the groups/individuals scanlating the works.
Q: This link to the download of _____ is dead!
A: If that happens, go to the respective scanlation groups to request. If it's anything uploaded by the person who created the post, just leave a comment behind requesting for re-uploads.

Mangaka-related
Q: Does she have a blog or twitter?
A: Her blog is here, and you can follow her on twitter. A word of advice: if you are smart enough to follow her, you should be smart enough to NOT tweet releases of scanlations. This is especially so since scanlations are illegal.
Q: Where do her works usually appear in? Which magazine?
A: Her works appear in a few magazines, like onBlue or Dear+. Please check the sidebar on the right for more information.
Q: Where can I purchase her works?
A: Have you tried amazon.co.jp, or yesasia? For more information, drop by each series' post to find out more. (Check the tags on the sidebar on the right.)

Community-related
Q: Why are you making such a post to make members who go through so much trouble just to support their beloved mangaka?
A: Firstly, it's spam. Communities too open have been subjected to spam here in LJ, and it's not amusing. We want to keep the community free from that. Next, we would like that you read the rules. Lastly...we're just being mean. ;D
Q: How should I contribute to this community?
A: There are many, many ways you can do that. You can provide raws, you can make graphics, mood themes etc. You can write fanfiction for some of her works, you can draw fanart~ Anything that allows you to participate in this community, and at the same time appreciate sensei and her hard work.
Q: I don't understand how the tags work...
A: Here's how it works: "S" = "series". (If we expand further we will have a bit more tags.) Tags like "!mod" and "!faqs" are not meant for you to use, except the mods.
Q: Why are posts locked in this community?
A: We would like to exercise exclusiveness for members to join and appreciate sensei's works.
Q: I manage another community - is it okay to affiliate?
A: Of course! As long as it's another BL mangaka, or another community dedicated just to a series of sensei's, we'll be more than glad to be your affiliate. Just drop kumagoro87 a note.
