A full length story would be insanely awesome, but at any rate it doesn't matter what you choose to do, thanks again Elmer!

oh my gosh weeee.

Translation like this is much like "A Taste of Honey"- you put your heart into this, and the results are delicious.

[Tarage]

Was anyone else saddened by the "A taste of honey" comic? I mean, when you realize what happens to that blue mage later on... =(

[Thistle]

Thanks so much for translating all these! I read them between Campaign battles. *all caught up now!* :D

:nikkei:

Added a new chapter:

My First Time in Vana'diel

I ended up doing a sort of hybrid of the two options. Skimming through the books, I found a particular volume that had some continuity broken up into stories. I really liked them, so I decided to go ahead and start on that book.

Several of the chapters follow a Taru female from the time she first sets foot into Vana'diel. In between her chapters, there are some other side stories, and a few times where characters cross over back and forth.

I think people will really like it, so check out the first chapter above.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I bent the book with all my might, but it was still a little tough to scan. Sometimes the sides are blurry, and maybe it's annoying... but being so early in the volume I couldn't fix it.

[Shadowrunner]

Nothing can be wrong if there's a Taru Female involved. We just come with a certain fill of greatness. <3 :3

Added a new chapter:

My First Time in Vana'diel

That was... quite cute.

The stalking moogle was just too funny.

By the way, there's a missing speech bubble on page 6. =P

Lol macro. Sad he was /mnk hahaha!

I can't believe there was a time when other players were that considerate of others. That "Elvaan" one is wonderfully great. Complete and total :nikkei:

[Kiira]

:nikkei: reading these during the last hour at work. Thanks for sharing

[Myrna]

Elmer, you seriously rock. Totally awesome stuff. ^^

It's been a little while, but here's a new update.

First, a new story involving a familiar character:

Limit Break Stories


... also here's two bonus chapters from a new translator: Chipya of Gilgamesh.

He contacted me about doing some works of his own, having picked up several volumes of manga for himself, including a few I don't have. He doesn't have a BG account yet, but I think he's going to sign up and perhaps throw in a few words himself.

Seeds of Happiness

Heaven Cent

Chapters under his section are all scanned, translated and edited by him. Thanks to his effort, you get 3 chapters in one update, so enjoy!

[orinthia]

96 sunken barge paladin!
Just gets funnier and funnier.

Chipya's two are also really nice. Seeds had no real text and still showed a nice little story and Cent was cute.

[Seyrr]

Chip's a good friend of mine, so it was nice to see his work here. :D I really liked Seeds of Happiness - I tend to do that sort of thing a lot with my farming/crafting. It gives me an odd sense of accomplishment to put all the things I make to use that way.

[Chipya]

I tend towards the lurking side, but I suppose I should at least say something.

Thanks to Elmer for providing the hosting space and pointers on scanlation. This is my first time doing something like this, so please forgive any errors or strange dialog. Unfortunately, my Japanese isn't anywhere near translator level so my releases will probably be slow going from here on out.

Seeds was my favorite story of all the anthology books I currently own, a nice story dealing with the crafting cycle. Heaven Cent was a little short story that helped ease into the dialog translation process. Hope you all enjoyed them~

[Zilong]

The whole old PLD gag seem too forced and doesn't seem all that funny :/

Seed of happiness is really nice though.

PS: Is heaven cent related to some quest storyline or something? I'm not that familiar with windy quests.

[azzinow]

Love the drawing style in Seeds of Happiness and A Chance Encounter.
