WARNING: This whole topic is pretty damn lengthy, so get ready to spend awhile reading everything

Hello!

I'm Dubby, and I'm a scanner (no crap). I'm a veteran scanlator in the middle of a scanlating hiatus that's most likely going to become permanent.

I'm also a HQ scanner~ And I own way too many manga. So I want to spread my huge collection of raws. I PROVIDE BOTH JAPANESE & KOREAN RAWS

I debind when I scan, and you'll never find crap quality with me. : ) Gutters? Non-existant with me. I scan at 300 DPI, both magazine and tank. E-raws? Forget them, my raws are better.

Here a few examples of raws of mine (tinypic reduced size, so the actual scans are larger):
Tank and Magazine

Don't trust their quality just from those samples? Give those pages a test cleaning run, I'm sure you'll be satisfied. ; )

Now the thing is...

I'm also a greedy mangaholic ;D I spam out buying manga after manga when I get near a Japanese/Korean manga selling site or go to Kinokuniya in NYC, and end up spending god knows how much in such a short amount of time on manga. @_@ Of course, while I'm buying them, I'm thinking "Oh my, this manga must be good! Must get it scanlated!" but of course, I never get around to scanlating all them. XD;

So what's the deal with this topic?

Well, seeing as I have so many raws, and I so badly want to read most of these series (that's why I bought them in the first place), I want other groups to get a chance to scanlate them because I obviously can't do it myself in just my solo group.

So I'm offering up my scanning services.

HOWEVER, that's not the condition behind these scans. The condition is that I pick the groups. If you continue reading, I will provide a list of all the series I own, and the conditions behind getting these series scanned for your group.

I work in Operation Boredom, so a lot of the series are from my own group - these I am freely giving away because I am cleaning out my project list and want other groups to continue our soon-to-be-dropped projects!!!

Let me start by listing the conditions.... they are in the following post...

Conditions

ROFL. My condition was too much for a single MU post. XD So I posted it in my forum instead~ Check it out here.

(You don't need to be registered or anything to see the thread)

After you check out the list, move onto the next post for the raw list itself~

THE EPIC RAW LIST

Important Note: If any of you want following volumes/chapters of any series I want (Say, I only have v1 of a series and you want v2+...), I might be able to work that out with you guys. Just inquire about it.

NEXT POST EXPLAINS HOW YOUR GROUP CAN APPLY TO WORK ON THESE MANGAS!!!!

Okay, welcome back. Glad you made it this far. XD Now as you can see, you've made it to the important part of this thread - how to apply for the mangas.

The process is simple, really. : P Basically, you just need to fill out an application-like form. ; D Later on, maybe later this week, I'll set up one on my site that you can easily fill out & goes straight to my email, but for now, we're going to go manual. : P Why? Because I'm lazy. So too bad.

Here's the manual form for now:

Quote from "Application From Break through"

Scanlation Group:
Name of your scanlation group, duh~
Group Site:
Link me to your group site, forum, whatever you use. Make sure your project list is easily accessible, plus downloads for past releases (and for god's sake, no x number of posts BS. ~~ I need to be able to access your past releases easily)
Series You Want:
This part is tricky - you can name as many series as you want to claim, but remember that more series = harder work. So go ahead and name 50 series (in priority order if you want), but also number how many max series you'll be able to take (see example form below)
# of Series You Want:
Like I said above, just name the max # of series your group is able to take (some really good groups might get asked to do more than one series)
About Group:
Convince me why I should pick your group to work on whatever series you want. Will you be able to keep to schedule? Are you reliable? Are you anal about quality (DUST PLEASE)? Etc etc... Make it as short as possible, please. >>;
Your Best Release:
I will leave you to tell me about a release your group released that you think was OUTSTANDING quality, and you think will blow me away by how good it is.
Contact Info:
Leave your contact info. I need to know how to contact you easily if I decide to interrogate you & your group. Email, MU username, IRC nick (IRCHighway plz), whatever, I don't care.

(Please don't do both)

Hi, I'm interested in the offer.

Scanlation Group: Evil Flowers
Group Site: http://evilflowers.com/
Series You Want: first I want to know if we're accepted [no point in listing x series if we're going to be rejected anyway...]
About Group: We released frequently from every series we have except for 2 titles that have a missing translator right now, but I'm trying to fix that. We are in a way pretty new to this, but we take pride in what we do. Also, please close an eye to the first chapters released, those were done long ago, we improved since then ^^. Also, Daddy long legs and Ciel v 4 were released in MQ because we couldn't get HQ scans.
Your Best Release: hmm, I think we have more than one... Let's say Reimei no Arcana [I think we did a good job for all the chapters we released from this project]
Contact Info: Email: evil.flowers.project@gmail.com [or send me a pm here, or replay here in the forum or go to our forum]

I'm always searching for raw providers, especial for korean ones since we have a lot of korean translators.
Before I start requesting a title I want to know if you consider my group fitting for the job.

JOIN EVIL FLOWERS!!!~ ♥

Hi,

Scanlation Group: Mangafake
Group Site: http://mangafake.over-blog.com
Series You Want: Princess(Honda Natsumi)

of Series You Want: kind of oneshot, as you said this serie is a bit strange...(i saw it regarding to the chinese raws)
