Can I post your scanlations in other places?

Yes.

When posting, please use the English title. And please make sure any other information and your spelling is correct. (Please do NOT post the original “Waltz with a Black Cat.”)

Do you need any graphic editors or proofreaders?

Possibly.

Editors, I have strict style requirements, so please contact me for more information. I don’t normally have separate cleaners and typesetters, so you should have some idea of how to do both.

Japanese-English speakers/readers/students, I always need people to consult. So if you have time to answer a few questions, usually on the weekends, I’d be very grateful! Please contact me, as well.

Which translations currently need an editor?

Kusama Sakae, Carnivorous Animal’s Table Manners
Genre: Shounen-ai
Other information: Contains some color pages.

If you’re interested, please download and read Style Guidelines for Editors before you decide to contact us. Thanks.

Can I translate your translation into another language?

No. However, I will consider special cases (such as an exchange…). Please contact me for more information.

When will the next chapter come out?

Everyone working for PD is volunteering in their spare time, so it’s hard to predict. I let everyone (including myself) make their own deadlines since our jobs, families, school work, friends, health, etc. always take priority. And you never know when life will throw something time consuming at you.

That said, I try to check in with everyone periodically and update Project Status with estimated release dates. I will also try to let you know where we are in the process. Expected release dates are always subject to change.

Where does the name PresenceDear come from?

(Haha, people really do ask me!)

For those of you who are not old enough to remember, it’s the title of a song by the 1970/80s group Blondie, (I am always touched by your) Presence, Dear. You can find it on iTunes and we have a page about the song here.

“PresenceDear” is my Livejournal user name, and, due to circumstances beyond my control, it also became the name of this group.

Do you have a link button?

Yup. Here you go! Thank you.
