Not sure if I'm posting this in the right area or not...
I just recently got my hands on what I
think is the complete
Silent Saturn collection by Thirty Saver Street 2D Shooting,
made available right here on Fakku by the incredibly awesome g-money. Content is bondage and similar material starring Tomoe Hotaru and Chibi-Usa of Sailor Moon fame; a bit younger than my standard fare, but Hotaru's a special case for me.
I'm very interested in seeing this series translated because good Sailor Moon doujins that aren't Black Dog material are rare as hen's teeth and good Sailor Moon doujins that aren't Black Dog material
and feature Hotaru are rarer still... but there's the problem of commissioning a translator and paying the requisite fees.
There's a grand total of 1830 pages in the set I linked to, but that includes cover pages and graphic spreads that don't have any speech bubbles on them, so figure about 1790 pages for the whole set. The only translater I know of who does this stuff and isn't currently having issues with their PayPal account getting locked on them (fight the power, LWB!) is SaHa, who charges $1.70 per page. A bit of multiplication gives me a pricetag of roughly $3043 for the whole set. This is more than I make in a year in the part-time job I have now, which I'll be quitting in a month or so to become a full-time college student. Budget constraints and the fact that I won't have any kind of income for the next two years or so mean that I can't afford to spend more than about $200 on this project, and even that's pushing my wallet quite a bit.
So yeah, woe is me.
But I don't think I'm the only one who would want to see this series translated. I can't be the only Sailor Moon fan on Fakku and I sincerely doubt I'm the only one with an extra-strength boner for Saturn, so I turn to YOU, my fellow fappers, for advice on my next course of action. I know our boys on the Fakku translation team probably won't touch this one -- they don't take requests, and even if they did Chibi-Usa's presence makes this one at least partially a loli doujin -- but what about you guys? Anyone know translation groups that do this stuff for free? Anyone willing to help me start up a donation pool? Help me out guys, how can I make this happen?
