[Req] I WANT TO CREAT A FANSUB GROUP

Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 5:52 am Post subject: Post Rating: 0

i think if the choice for Zettai Kareshi got down to jdrama fans between a pro sars fansub and a newly formed group i think no doubt most people would go with the sars fansub version ...

but as furransu said .. i think you should do a joint project to get started and get in touch with other groups to get their opinion on such presumed partnership .. or if you're really determined to do a solo project you can go to the fansub wiki >> jdrama section and check out what project you can take on .. maybe you can do one of the projects that haven't been picked or maybe you could choose to continue a project that was dropped

go to the following link and search through all the drama's

Wow! I'm so glad to hear this because there just aren't enough fansubbing groups out there already...

Why isn't anyone picking up the shows that haven't been subbed yet? If you check the map there's plenty of drama territory to piss on if you are serious about subbing.

there really isn't any point trying to make them sub what they don't have the enthusiasm for...
if you leave them alone and let them sub what they want to in peace, maybe the fansubbing bug will stick and they'll pick up one of the strays next time around, who knows... Smile

@BlueMidnightBaroque & Getsugatnsho:
the d-a rules do state you should begin at episode one, but i suppose if the translator for the first softsub episode doesn't mind, you could continue his single sub since he won't be making any more... or perhaps he'd be willing to spot translate with you guys?
if you can come to an agreement, you could also post your softsubs in the same thread...

i would ask though that you consider that some people only download softsubs and maybe strive to make them as accurate as possible and not just a quick fix until hardsubs come out?

@gnossienneslent: is there such a thing as too many subbers? we've been trying to encourage more people to give to the community all along, so why should we always swoop down on new people this way? i do believe new subbers benefit from a stint with established groups and there are several groups out there who could use help with their enormous project loads, but in the case of zettai kareshi, people who don't download hardsubs will appreciate these softsubs...

@ ironicwave Don't get me wrong dear. I would love to see more groups out there subbing. I think Randomsubs is a new group that is really doing well and getting things done. It would be great to have so many that everyone jumps on a show just to have on and groups compete to see who can produce the best subs. *cue dramatic gladiator-type music* Rivalry is the lifeblood of quality.

Seriously though this is a heck of a list:

haha, i can't say i don't appreciate your style, your posts are usually a very entertaining read and i agree with the spirit and content of a lot of them... Whistling

but i think you can tell by the reactions of new want to be subbers in threads like these that the "swoop" tends to be very discouraging...
i just don't believe in trying to pressure people into doing things they don't want to do and i know for a fact that working on a series that really interests you is much more likely to make you stick for the long haul...

dedication to quality, reliability and so forth are qualities in subbers you can wish for, but not enforce on d-addicts, more's the pity... Laugh

but these are also qualities that can't be judged from the outset, so everyone deserves a fair shake and i just like to see them have the breathing room for take off...
and by the by, we do have a timer for this series at sars already... Wink

@ groink *giggles* Glad I could help you clear your sinuses. A long time ago my sarcasm got cranked up to high and someone ripped off the knob. So far I've managed to not to get banned while berating new fansubbing groups and stalkers, I mean online 'friends'. I'm sure at some point I'll do something to warrant a reprimand.

the rule has been changed.. http://d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1018548

now BlueMidnightBaroque and/or Getsugatnsho could do Zettai Kareshi freely.. the new rule basically says anyone could do any series they want, doesnt matter if another group is doing it already... Smile

So I hope you guys could continue on with Zettai Kareshi softsubs xD
