Special Contest Continued:

THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED:

DECEMBER 20th, 2011 

We need your help! ;)

     Want to see something special you want translated? 

Do you want you're forum name on Hataraki Bachi and/or have you're name added to credits of the work too? 

(If you wish to remain anonymous, that's cool too)  

Besides winning a translation and credits, you'll also receive a special treat which is to be decided upon announcement of winner(s).  It depends on winner(s) preference but I have some exclusve special scans from AnimeNext 2011.

We are CURRENTLY taking requests of Image sets and/or Yomikiri via the group e-mail {hatarakibachi123@gmail.com} for the holidays for translation.  Apparently, it's harder than you'd think to find full sets of shotakon christmas images/stories. XD

  

Regardless of Yomikiri or Image set; 

The content must be related to Christmas; Hannukah and/or New Years ; Basically Winter Sets in general are perfect.  

The only rule; The set must be raw, if it's a textless image set, then it's a-okay.  We will not be accepting submissions of other's translations.

Image Set Submission:    

     We are looking for image sets of matching items, {ie; a NemuNemu Christmas CG SET or a Takenokoya Christmas CG Set} What this mean is, if you're submitting an image set, it may contain multiple artists but they should be separated but MUST be from same artist/series.  Another example as far as series: Pokemon Christmas Shota, in that case you may submit mixed pics of Pokemon characters all holidayed out XD.  It can be any series you'd like!

Yomikiri /Doujinshi Submission:    

     First, if you do not know, a Yomikiri is a short story usually extracted from a bigger book of collected stories such as an Anthology (Multiple Artists & Stories) or Tankoubon (Singular Artist & Multiple Stories) or even a Doujinshi (Average book we post; usually a parody fanbook or original material.)  We are looking for Yomikiri or Doujinshi around 10 pages most, the smaller the amount of pages, the better off we are, as time is running low.

    

The rules are; 

1) The file must be in .rar/.zip formats only;

2) It MUST be a HOLIDAY RELATED/WINTER RELATED image set in need of translation (easy to come across on PIXIV; Gelbooru etc.) OR; it can be a short <5 page yomikiri/doujinshi story.  There was a limit on the image set, but that has been changed.  The yomikiri/doujinshi can not exceed 10 pages

3) Not every picture needs to have text, by the way.  In fact, if only one has text, or if you can provide the artist's website where you got the pics so we can translate the associating text, that's cool too.  Basically, we're a translation/editing group ... So the images can either be in need of cleaning (poor scans etc.); text removal (if it's covers or a 2006 Merry X-mas Set); or translation

4) You have better chances at winning the rarer the pics are.  If you go into a Takenokoya Image set and pull images from his Christmas collection, you're MORE likely to win than if you came across a set of his old/new images from his blog (he releases new christmas stuff every year). =)  ... We don't care where the submissions come from, as long as they're good ;) But sets from artist's sites are you're best bet, or an hour or two at gelbooru XD  ...really a Shotakon Yomikiri/Doujinshi is what I'm truly looking for.

5) Your chances also increase also by the release date of the items, newer = better.  But if you have an old rare set, that is a fair exception too ... 

Rarity and Newness are one in the same ;)

6) KEEP THE SETS WITHIN THE GUIDELINES AND MORE THAN ONE PERSON CAN WIN!

7) To make submissions:  

First, place in the subject line:

Also include; 

who the artist is and what series is being parodied (If applicable)  If you're unsure of the artist, such as from a Japanese site, provide the link and we'll do the rest, unless it's a doujinshi (they have that info on cover or back page)

Also include; 

A link to the material (if applicable or where the images are from ... If it's an old hardrive save, just say so.  We do this to ensure that artists' names are correct and release dates, etc. can be verified. (if you want to keep your source a secret ... It's okay just say so.
