Yaoi translations needed

[resonant]

Well, all right, not, strictly speaking, needed. But, you know, passionately desired.

Can any of you smart and well-connected people put me on the road to translations (or scanlations) of the following?

Nitta Youka: Haru wo deite ita series. (I have scanlations of 1 and 2. I also have a bizarre translation that goes all the way through volume 5, but it has quite literally been translated from Japanese into Polish by one person and then from Polish to English by another person, and it totally shows. A better translation would be lovely.)

Nitta Youka: Groupie and Casino Lily

Shiuki Kano: Nothing Without You

Takashi Kanzaki: Meisai Tengoku vol. 1 and 2

A million thanks to anyone who helps me out with these. (Or a smutlet, if you like.)

In other news, took the kidlet to the Halloween store today so that they could enjoy being voluptuously scared by the skeletons and such. What I want to know is: Why do so many scary gargoyle decoration creatures have clearly male chests with nipples? Far as I know, only in primates do you get nipples on the males, and these creatures really don't look like primates. But there they are: nipples. Often lovingly detailed ones. I find this baffling.

edited 2020 to retroactively correct the kidlet's gender pronouns

Actually, other kinds of male mammals do have nipples, including bats, which gargoyles look kinda like. (I can't believe I actually Googled this.) Although many of them look sort of reptilian to me, in which case they shouldn't have nipples no matter what gender they are.

Aaaaugh. LJ just ate my comment.

Haru wo Daite Ita 7 and 8 are available from Nakama. Sounds like you already got 1 and 2 from essence of purity. Never seen 3-6.

ob-session has Groupie, and Sakura-Crisis has Casino Lily. Though neither series is complete, I think.

Nothing Without You isn't scanlated, as far as I know. There are a few other Shiuko scanlations at Nakama and ob-session.

I got scanlations of Groupie off ob-session, as well as my Haru wo Daite Ita, but for HwDI I'm not sure if I have vol.3 or whether it is simply one of three parts of the first volume. It was all rather a long time ago, I'm sorry I can't be more help

[magic-beans.livejournal.com]

okay, scratch that, I'm retarded. My HwDI came off Essence of Purity

[lada-hitam.livejournal.com]

I've Haru from vol.1-8, 2(or 3) chapters of Casino Lily. Want me to send it to you?

Guess this means I'm going to have to figure out how to use the sites that make you download images via IRC rather than the Web.

They used to have lots of great stuff on the web at Shi-Ran, but it's been down for a month or more.

Sounds like you already got 1 and 2 from essence of purity.

From Altar of Fire, actually. I really prefer translations rather than scanlations -- I already have all these books, and I'd prefer not to saddle myself with the large files. But I'll take what I can get.

Anyhow, thank you very much. Would you like a smutlet? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/resonant8/61885.html?mode=reply&style=mine)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh, my, yes!

Are they scanlations or translations?

If they're translations, I'd love to have them all. If scanlations, maybe only the ones I don't have already? -- Haru volumes 5 and up, and what you've got of Casino Lily?

Would you like a smutlet? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/resonant8/61885.html)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Yeah, looks like I can't put off learning how to IRC-download any longer.

Thanks for the help, though. Would you like a smutlet? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/resonant8/61885.html)

[lada-hitam.livejournal.com]

They're scanlations. Casino Lily, I think I've the first two chapter, I'm not so sure about it.

I'll send it to you by email =)

I'd like a smutlet if it's Harry/Snape =) Thanks anyway.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Thank you.

I can certainly like Harry/Snape. Want to give me an adjective, or just let me work freestyle?

[lada-hitam.livejournal.com]

The files are soo big, I'll send it little by little.

Just no angst, please..., and no PWP either.

Nine days later... LJ comment notification, she ain't what she used to be.

Shi-Ran's down permanently. There are a couple of scanlation sites that are good about making their files available on the web -- Mochi Mochi (http://mochi.harusame.net/) and hochuuami (http://hochuuami.raygungeisha.com/) are particularly prolific. (And, as I'm sure you noticed by now, all the files I mentioned to you are available via regular download; IRC is ugly and confusing, and I'll have no truck with it.)

Anyhow, thank you very much. Would you like a smutlet?

Eeeee. Who would refuse when one of their favourite authors made an offer like that? I have a sort of... fetish... for post-war Harry/Ron schmorn, if you're amenable.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I've bookmarked both sites, and will check them out.

And I rather love Harry/Ron postwar schmorn, too, as well as the word 'schmorn,' which is, like, everything I need in life. So I will give it a try!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Hm -- I'm afraid that smutlets are sort of PWP by definition, since they're so short -- but I'll give it a try.
