| Ok, so I thought I'd post something to let you know the current status with LS/BL. Maybe I've been too desperate, and picked staff up hastily. Those who do absolutely nothing know what I'm talking about, and those who work know how grateful I am to you guys.
You guys know which category you belong to.
I currently have 6-7 chapters translated, in desperate need of editing. About half of that is already cleaned, waiting to be typesetted. My typesetters are gone, without a single trace. I keep getting "I'll hand it to you asap" yet two weeks later I have absolutely no contact from them whatsoever.
I need editors, I need cleaners, I need typesetters. Hell, I need a whole new bunch of staff that will actually work. Leisure Scans started out to bring people manga at a leisurely pace, but leisurely doesn't mean snail.
I'm currently editing all the manga we have now by myself. I am not saying I'm not grateful to some of the staff. On the contrary, I am extremely grateful. You guys are the sole reason that Leisure Scans and Basement Leisure are still going on.
The translators have all worked extremely hard. But I get the feeling that the lack of release from the work they translated is getting to them, discouraging them. I can only do so much by myself in the editing department.
My staff have been disappearing, slowly but gradually. I need people to work with, I can't run this alone. I've been putting this off, stalling, hoping that the staff would come back and actually work. I've been hoping that they would actually turn in work, but to no avail.
To all the leechers, this is the reason that you have no release. I have been too lenient, and I am sorry for that.
So this is my decision. I am "firing" all the staff. Those who are still dedicated and wish to continue with me, please PM me. I'm tired of running after inactive people, literally begging them to work while they do absolutely nothing.
And yes, some may call me a hypocrite, saying I do no work myself, and that I am all talk, or even that I'm heartless, but I believe that using this method, I will be able to gather those that are dedicated, so that I can rely on them, instead of those that aren't.
Newcomers, please do apply if you want to help. I am always in need of help.
Leisure Scans/Basement Leisure isn't a solo, or two/three men team guys. There's only so much a small group can handle by themselves. | |

| As i have said, im trying to learn to edit. But as i have said, i have not made much progress. i will surely be of help if i can do all of the jobs as back-up, too, right?
We have enough translators now, so imma try to help in another way.
Yeah, it is very discouraging when none of your translations get released. You can't imagine how i felt when Adam No Junjou was first released. XD
Im with ya.
So just wait for me to learn some more stuff, ne? | |

| It seems this problem affects every team a day or another. I say this because I experienced a similar situation with EMS. For I haven't time nor technical skills I can't help you, except stating I understand your decision. | |

| OMG. D: I'm sorry Shiori. TT__TT I haven't done anything for LS in a LONG time because I've been out of state and preparing for Fate's anni. BUT!!!!!!! You can work me to death after the anniversary~ xDD I can help clean so you can go back to just typesetting~ ^^ Or if you ever need any scans, if I can find them online, I'd be more than happy to buy them and scan them for you so you can have better scans. >.< | |

| *bows down* sorry sorry. Your reaction made me realize just how long I've been completely inactive. I can't promise that I'm going to be very active from now on, but I want to try to help if even just a little. I told myself I wasn't going to make any excuses, but I have to say that preparing for exams for college and making sure I get enough credits to graduate is really time consuming. Everyone is doing well, though? : ] Shiori. o.o You're mad at me, aren't you? minime | |

| Um..you mean advertising other sites on this forum? Or vice versa? I'm ok with you advertising other sites...but keep it to a min. I don't want to see ads all over the place, especially not in our releases/downloads section...
But otherwise I would say it's fair game~
And...Minime, I'm not exactly mad per say. I mean...I am a bit put off that you would be inactive and leave all the work to me...while not saying anything, but if I was to be mad at you, I'd have to be mad at 8 other people, so no, I'm not mad. I do wish people would leave me some kind of message before they poof...but I guess that's life~ | |

| @Shiori: Ah okay... then I'll go ahead and say that I'm not going to be extremely active. I'll just be popping in every now and then to help a little bit and/or post most likely. Often absent still applies. -_-
I pmed you but I don't know if you got it. I can help with a couple pages of typesetting right now so email me or something if you decide to assign anything. I think starting August, I'll be studying my butt off.

P.S. Sorry. | |
