if you are a time-slipping protagonist, what time period would you slip into?
prehistoric ( dinosaurs, etc )
ancient ( greek, roman civs. )
medieval ( knights, damsels )
renaissance ( musketeers )
future ( post-apocalypse )
future ( cutting edge techs )
2 choice future coz some might prefer the other...

Quote from hiei_luke What will you do if your favourite/watched-list manga was already completed but the scanlation was too slow to keep up with your series:
1) Zombie-mode search for the RAWS
2) Keep up with the slow release, check every now & then
3) Give up, might as well wait for the scanlation group to finish their job (come back after 5 years)
4) Got other manga to read -> totally forgot about them
(remember, its only applies to your favourite or eager-to-read-'em-up series, not the "okay" series)

How about a poll on plagiarism (e.g. Eden no Hana by SUETSUGU Yuki? I always wanted to know how people deal with it.
Have you ever come across plagiarism in manga, and if you have, how did you react?
- Yes, I have, and I dropped both the series and the author. Stealing other someone else's work is the worst!
- Yes, I have, and I dropped the series, but continued reading the author's other manga. Everyone can make a mistake.
- Yes, I have, and I continued reading the series, but avoided the author in future. I simply couldn't drop the manga, but I felt guilty afterwards.
- Yes, I have, and I continued reading both the manga and the author's work. Copyright is overvalued and old-fashioned anyway.
- No, I haven't seen any plagiarism so far.

How and where do you read manga?
I download it and read it offline.
Read it online on scanalation group site's reader (if they have one) or download it (if they don't).
Read it online on scanalation group site's reader or batoto.
Read it online on scanalation group site's reader or mangafox/animea/mangahere/etc.
Read it online on batoto.
Read it online on mangafox/animea/mangahere/etc.

What is your opinion on scanlation notes (like the ones on the sides of pages)?
-They shouldn't be used at all, it's distracting!
-They should only be used to clarify meaning/translations.
-They should only be posted at the end of the chapter.
-I like commentary, it's funny.
-I don't read them.

I don't know if this was ever suggested before, if yes, I apologize for repetition:
Which do you prefer that scanlators/fansubbers do when translating cultural/native language specific words, such as the honorifics or words like aniki; onisan, oyaji, etc, that have a subtle difference in meaning in their original language than their translated counterpart.
- I do not care for nuances, I want everything translated into my language.
- I like it better when those are left as is after a short explanation by the scanlators/fansubbers when used first, as the real meaning gets lost in translation.
- I do not care either way.
