Once again, we’re dying to have more staff members >: Novel translating requires only two positions, translators and proofreaders. It is more time-consuming and trickier to do than regular scanlations, but I hope anyone remotely interested in our work can help out! Chapter 1 of Shen Yue Zhi Yao is actually 17+ pages if you copy and paste it onto Word. ;___;
On side, all comments to us would equal giving cookies to the cookie monster. Please spam us with comments and suggestions. It’d make us really happy :D (Please also link me with jpgs/gifs of giraffes 8DDD)
Also, the polls shows that most people prefer full chapters, so there we have it guys!
ALSO.
IS IT JUST ME OR DO I SEE A DEATH NOTE ALLITERATION ALLUSION IN CHAPTER ONE? Who else sees it?

First of all, WE NEED STAFF WE NEED STAFF WE NEED STAFF DDDX
Please email eeled@hotmail.com or giraffecorps@live.com to apply. :DDDD
Chapter 1 of Gong Hua was actually done when we released it back in December. Sorry for the confusion guys :’D Also, the last bits of the prologue for Shen Yue Zhi Yao is released!
A couple notes on the author’s writing style: She likes to embed the main character’s thoughts (1st person) into a 3rd person narrative. So watch out for those and don’t be surprised when you see them.
As you can all see, chapter 1 is there too, but with a password. All chapters under a password are either currently in translation or fully-translated but in need of proofreading. Please check out the FAQ if you’re interested in reading those.

Greetings, my fellow short-necked friends. We whose necks are long and spotted have come to you today with…
Chen Yue Zhi Yao: Prologues 1, 2, and 3.
Gong Hua: Prologue
The first one’s a comedy while the second’s a drama. I love comedies and so do you, now go read it read it go go go 8D Just a heads up, I first started reading this on the bus and laughed like an idiot. Made an instant superstar with full on spotlight. oh yeah. 8)
Also, I usually loathe sad stories, but hey, the author of the second one is YUWO (author of 1/2 Prince and Legend of Sun Knight!) Considering it’s her, even a tragedy can’t actually be that sad, now can it?

4.578 billion years ago – Formation of Planet Earth
45 minutes and 78 seconds later – Formation of Sunglasses-wearing Giraffes
Today – We have come back. with pie translation devices.
4 things:
1) Thanks for all your hard work
2) I could also lurk and help, so I’ll (eventually) email you
3) Just FYI, http://sunkenmoon.wordpress.com/ is also translating the story about Fan Tong (though I think you are further)
4) I think you mean Death Note *Allusion* (alliteration is repetition of the first sounds of words that are in sequence; allusion is a reference to an outside work)
:)
Oops! (about the allusion part) Thank you for the info :’D
And whoa, didn’t notice someone else translating it! It’s awesome you found out while we’re both new to the series. This can become a great joint project ^O^
Hope to hear from you. We’re dying for staff :’D
Question: As a proofreader what would I be doing? As in, just reading over the translations to check for flow/grammar/spelling mistakes? Or comparing to the original text and fixing up the translation that way? Because I might be able to help if it’s just flow-checking, but my chinese is probably below middle school level =.=;
Proofreading is checking for flow, grammar, syntax, etc. You don’t need to know Chinese 8D
I would love love love to help you proof, but i’m already kind of helping two different groups.
i can drop by every now and then to check in, and lurk, and maybe correct grammar…? if you need~~~??
OMG :D YESSS We’d love to have help no matter what! Add me on skype (eeleder), send us an email (giraffecorps@live.com) or leave us your email 8′DDD
heyy umm… i would like to join as a translator… I am not sure if i’ll be able to do it very regularly though :P
