[SCANLATION] Britannia Angel

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

While I'm waiting for my translation of Hetare Chapter 3 to be edited, I went ahead and scanlated this strip myself. I love this one especially because it features England in an angel costume (HAHA POOR ARTHUR) and baby!Korea. Cuteness all around?







Note: Korea is probably trying to say "man-sae" which is like "yay" in Korean, but his baby voice makes it come out as "man-chae." (Thanks to chinko_inkei!)



Um, so. Hopefully I'll post again with Ch. 3 sometime soon?

Well you did finish the script before I did, but I have no idea what's going on besides what's already posted in the comm. Maybe there should be some organization between scanlators or sth, because it's not efficient if two people do the same one by mistake! Er, I'll message konkira again and ask them too, I guess.

I don't mind doing 4. It has Liet and Poland in it, and I like them any time even if nobody else does /sob. Don't worry about it and just do those two, then? I love those strips! 8D

ed; Uh yeah, so I guess I'll message youkofujima asking about scanlator organization. Because now I feel like crap ok. LOL OTZ;;;

NO YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL LIKE CRAP. I FORBID IT. I kind of expected this to happen sooner or later anyway, with one strip or another, so it's really okay! (In fact, it already happened once, but I only had half-script for that part so it went underwater.) Canon doesn't really help with organization so it's pretty hard to do that. I mean, except the Timeline and Main Chapters, it has no order whatsoever.

Oh yay someone to lighten the load. The wings of freedom! Not that I don't feel bad for Liet, though. I like him fine, just not like him, you know?

youkofujima also loves Liet, btw. <3

;______; Meeehhh.

True that about the no order thing. *is win at finishing own thoughts*

I was thinking there could be some sort of claims post where someone could say they had finished so-and-so script of *insert Hetalia link here* so at least people KNOW.
It might be kind of hard to maintain though, blah. I would offer to do some sort of frequently-updated post it since I'm on LJ all the time even during school, but then I would feel like I'm intruding on youkofujima's authority or something especially since I'm just a regular member/only in this fandom for the last few weeks sort of thing... *is ridiculously self-conscious*

/END TL;DR OF MY INSECURITIES.

I have a feeling she won't mind, it's a neat idea---just so everyone knows who's working on what, and the Reading Populace and use it as a Coming Soon teaser post to salivate on. Not sure though, I don't know her that well either, but she seems okay with these things from what I've seen.

I just sent my editor an email, we'll see if she answers or not. If she does---I can probably take a half day off tomorrow and help her edit, and maybe we can do a joint post---double WWII fun for everybody! or something like that!---how does that sound? This is in case she answers, though.

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

I'll ask about it, then! Can't hurt to, I guess... *is terrified nonetheless* :'D

Right, gotta email my editor too. If you want to do the rest of what I haven't translated yet then I wouldn't mind joint-posting at all? I haven't translated any of the notes yet either though, but I've already read them all and I didn't think it would take that long. If you want to insert yours then that's fine too, hahaha. We're both getting the credit anyway?

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more about providing two packages of the same content for people, actually. But hmm. I don't know, my script is all done (13 pages + notes) and it's only there waiting for edit?

Oh, and my editor wants to do Ch.4. Right. I forgot she's a Liet person. *slaps forehead threatically*

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

You go ahead and release it then, orz. I fail at life so it doesn't matter. I already messaged my editor to say not to bother, and apologized profusely if they've already done anything.

Go ahead then~ I'd rather see you do it anyway. _{Or someone that at least seems to know English better than a couple other people that've been posting. Proofing, anyone? *sobs*}

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

DDDDDDDDDDDD:

But I don't want you to waste your work either. This stuff is a pain to translate, dammit. I'm not entitled to anything, really. Isn't there some way we can kinda both win at this?

I'm not looking forward to it THAT much, truth be told. But editor is kinda adamant, so, um?

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's all that necessary to have two versions out of the same strip, and since you were there first then we don't need mine anyway? I'd feel bad for my editor, but it wasn't even the whole section and they said it was easy anyway. Translating Hetalia isn't that difficult for me, especially considering my main translating job is for a seinen baseball manga.

lol, ok. I've never had an editor who was adamant about me translating something I wasn't excited about, hahaha. :'D

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're okay with that. I just hate to think I've dragged you somehow into a 気不味い mess. :s

Man, I wish I have enough discipline to have an actual main translating job somewhere.

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Haha no, it's ok... I'm just glad I knew before I actually posted some. :'D I got a message back from my editor, sounds sorta disappointed (cleaned the bases?) but I think we'll both live?

I didn't EXPECT it to be my main translating job, but things happen. It's not very fun, but if I don't do it nobody else is which is kind of depressing. We just finished a big part of it though so I'm dawdling around in my Shiny New Hetalia Obsession.

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

Well, my editor also said it's okay since she's kind of too busy to do it in a timely manner? If you guys want to. And I'll send you whatever scripts you're missing that way, and she also says : wanna join forces? IF THIS ISN'T ME BEATING A DEAD HORSE I'LL BE DAMNED.

I know that feeling. XD I've done something like that before, actually, but I gradually lost interest (sorry, sorry, editors, I'm really sorry!) and kind of stopped. Glad they found a new one, though. Afterwards, I just don't really want to sign up for main jobs anymore.

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

LOL IT'S TOO LATE I ALREADY TOLD MY EDITOR TO STOP DOING IT BECAUSE YOU'RE RELEASING IT. WHAT IF THEY ALREADY DELETED THEIR FILES. Asking anyway, but now it's going to be embarrassing anyway. Communication failure, I can has it. Now the entire fandom can throw rocks at me.

Um, my main editor is kind of like my BFF/internet husbando, so I hope I don't ACTUALLY lose interest anytime soon... though I bitch about it enough.

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

Hahaha TRANSLATORS =/= COMMUNICATION PROFICIENT, Y/N? My god, we rule so much we can be the Roman Empire in Hetaliaverse. Only because it begets Italy. My fault actually, I thought I'd said that, and then I went and reread and whoops! I wasn't! To reiterate, now I feel kind of uncool and sucky, haha. Fair deal, yes?

I can see what you mean. It'd be quite a bit of trouble if you lose interest. I, um, have been there once, and it was not a pretty thing to behold. I'm lucky she forgave me after much pleading and begging.

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Uh yeah, I'm just crossing my fingers that they didn't delete them completely off their HD. Which is an incredibly high possibility. SIGH. I feel so lousy now. Er well... whatever. As long as it gets done eventually by someone, right?

I'm sure nobody would actually be mad at me, but it wouldn't change the fact that the group is shit out of luck without a translator who can actually translate when the others are like HALP. :'D

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry about that, and yeah, I also feel pretty lousy. :s Oh well, I guess whatever will be, will be.

HALP? *confused* I'm glad I never did the really obscure stuff. *_* I mean, in a lot of cases, no translators make me feel better than a horrendous one. Call me an elitist but ow.

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

It's not really anyone's fault, but I still feel stupid and lol communications, translators fail at it. orz

Help*, sorry. ... HAHAHA I'M GLAD WE THINK ALIKE ON THAT TOO @ elitist.

*waves wand of anti-lousiness*

Because I am insane, even after I was told that you were already doing chapter 3 I went ahead and scanlated the strips anyway. I had already done the cleaning part after all and inserting the text was a piece of cake. I've sent what I've done with rainy_takako's script back to her for proofing - I could send you the link for the .rar too if you like. Anything you two want to add or want to change or not use at all is fine with me.

Also, I don't think I've ever deleted a .psd in my life *looks at the stack of external HD's bought to support her file hoarding ways*... so don't ever worry about that :DDD

[equivalent-t.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Seeing I have the parts she hasn't done yet, should I send you two the script file so you can decide what you want with it? I'm not sure if I'm also the best person for such things, but if you want to do that, my email is equivalential@g mail. com. I could help with the proofing?

THAT IS A HUGE RELIEF, Y'KNOW.

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Hooray group efforts! I can probably take care of the proofing, I'm used to doing it a lot for my main job orz. Of course you're welcome to take a look at it too, though~

[konkira.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! Sent you the strips I've done so far and you can email me your script for the other parts too and I'll finish it tonight!

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA, I'm so glad your psd-hoarding makes up for myself being made of fail and lameness. :'D

Er, we'll figure something out. Maybe you could edit whatever strips for Chapter 3 that equivalent_t did that I didn't so all the editing looks nice and similar... I think her editor's okay with that? /orz

[konkira.livejournal.com]

Woo! That's a good idea. If I can get the rest of the translation I'll definitely do that and send it to one of you to post to the community. Combined effort is combined!

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

I just looked over the 9 you did, they all look great except for I forgot England's "HA HA HA HA!" sfx in the last one. I'll email you (or try!) with the rest of it since equivalent sent it to me already.
