I wish I had good news to spread, but the fact is I don't. It's been two months since the last news post and for a good reason really-- not much has been going on. So, without further ado, let me spill what's on my mind...
Watashi no Messiah-sama has been in the works for ages, and quite frankly it not only frustrates me, it pisses me off greatly. Xinan is supposed to be typesetting it along with a whole bunch of other things (DHA included) and he's... not. We have a new editor, Giong working on Messiah so maybe the situation will improve.
Crimson Grave, Himari and DHA: are in a similar boat. Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of this as it really dampens my motivation to translate not knowing when to have the next chapter ready by and not wanting to create an overloading pressure at the same time by just piling things on-- though I have attempted that to no avail.
What am I going to do about it? I don't know. I haven't decided on it yet, quite frankly. I could look for new editors-- ones willing to take the time to edit in a timely fashion and not this 1 chapter a month nonsense-- or I can move myself and my projects to an entirely new group. Retiring from the manga scanlation sector ungracefully has occurred to me as well; however, I do love my projects dearly and would like to see them completed. It would; however, alleviate the great and undue stress that trying to nag editors, balance my real life and do other things creates for me. Maybe, just maybe, by blowing off some steam on the forum here Hamsteyr and Xinan will magically become motivated to work. I doubt it, but I can wish right?
Anyway, my ranting is done for now.
If I you don't hear from me again before hand, which may be the case depending on whether my head has exploded or not, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, or a Happy Holiday for whatever religion you might be celebrating this holiday season, if you are.
Peace.
Addendum: I feel the need to modify this as maybe I'm being a little to negative at the same time that I am stressed and frustrated. I really don't want to do any of the above. Hamsteyr and Xinan do fantastic jobs and I probably don't tell them that enough simply because I have been getting stressed about getting our releases back on a rhythmic, orderly schedule so that all the pent up stress I have bottled in me starts to go away.
Anyway, peace. Round 2.
