[glow=red]Attention Forum Members![/glow]
I’d like to put forth a motion for an upcoming Tenchicast, episode or special, to be a dedication/promotional video for some hard at work forum members that are busting their butts for the general fandom and deserve far more recognition than they’ve received and more direct support than they’ve been making due with: I’m talking, of course, about Heaven and Earth Translations and the Hasegawa Translation Project.
Though there’s been a decent amount of social media outreach, and it’s been a comparatively short amount of time since initial conception for the Hasegawa Novels endeavor specifically, in short the harvest is plentiful but the workers few; despite this, however, the likes of our own JGZinv, Crazed, Nil, Shadows and Wispers have boldly pressed on for the good of the general fandom–be it providing breaking news via Crazed and JG or discovering long-lost treasures courtesy of Nil & company.
Though their passions are great, even the most tireless of souls grow weary without support, recognition and validation, and due to the apparent lack of immediate effectiveness from various advertising campaigns thus far, I see a genuine need for a morale boost from those of us with them in spirit but sadly not on the front lines actually doing the work where help is most needed (guilty offender present).
In closing, if by chance you’ve (somehow) been unaware of either of these endeavors prior to reading this post (see various translation threads across forum for more information) and want to help, lend these jolly good fellows your hands, eyes and time, it is certainly needed (even if they often politely refrain from stating so) and would be most appreciated. If you don’t have the time, we all understand, but we ask you please spread the word in any way you can to other Tenchi fans if you are able. As for me and other forum regulars, I think a cast would be an excellent way for us to collectively take part in supporting our own as well as furthering the fandom at large (you know, that thing we’re doing all the time anyway).
Thank you for your humble consideration.
