Delayed joint notice with Copula Scans for Konohana Link 09 (released on June 2nd, 2011)

Only one chapter of Honey Crush left.
What is to become of the three derps?

And as usual, there's probably something I haven't seen somehow somewhere so archivers be at the ready for file swaps.

[del]**Edit:** Direct downloads are currently down. Will notify when they're working. Archivers currently getting the short end of the stick these days.[/del]
Edit: Temporary workaround found.

There's still one chapter to go (we don't have usable raws for that volume), but as for anything after that I'm unsure.
I don't really follow the raw releases, so I'm not really a good source haha.

Apologies for the late response.

So what exactly are you applying for?
There are three positions available that do not require Japanese:
1) Proofreading
2) Editing (cleaning AND typesetting)
3) Quality Checking

We do not really need proofreaders now, so it's essentially picking between being an editor and a quality checker.
We're pretty strict with both positions, but it's nothing that can't be taught.
If you plan to apply as an editor, please check here: http://dynasty-recruit.pbworks.com/w/page/18436284/Editors
If you plan to apply as a quality checker, please check here: http://dynasty-recruit.pbworks.com/w/page/18436287/Quality-Check-(QC)

Keep in mind that for either of those positions, you're still going to want to check out the editing tutorials, assuming you're totally new to scanlation.
The most important part of any position is not about being initially good, but to be determined and willing to learn time and time again until the result acceptable.
Take the test(s) and send emails to Casusby and/or me and we'll get back to you.

Thank you.

Brain did the "skip over extra word thing" we all know and love.
Sorry about that.

"Should we withdraw?"
I don't think anything's wrong with that line.
The bubble size has squeezed it to require a hyphen, but it's still essentially the same phrase as above.

Two months since the last release?
A dinasty minute.

Since it's an ongoing theme when I QC -> release without the whippings of Casusby, minor errors are probably present without my knowledge.
Archivers should hold off for now (or get ready to replace some files).

[del]**Edit:** No one's attacked me yet with errors, so I'm guessing it's safe.[/del]
Edit: Attack! Page 4: corrected an extra word.

Was planning for a double release, but some errors were caught so "it" had to be delayed yet again.

Edit: Minor typographical error on two pages. Archivers should grab the new ones (pages 4 & 5). Everyone else is unaffected.

Except for the whole dropping stuff and no one attempting to join us thing.
Are our tests just that threatening? >_>

Also, third in a row for MetalShadow!
Couple of editors are currently busy (or being unheard from...) so that's why there's those few forever lingering things in the projects bar.

We will continue for consistency and politeness.
If, and only if, the group(s) who are working on the series have been noticeably inactive as a whole for a considerable amount of time, then we will consider asking permission from other groups.

Yes we released something.
Shocking.
Finals week(s) coming up/already here for college students in various places, expect Dynasty-style speed from some groups whose name doesn't begin with "Dynasty" :P

Chapter was done by new editor MetalShadow!
More fun times ahead.

First post edited/updated.
Further updates of the first post will be marked with a new reply in this topic (since editing posts doesn't make a topic "fresh").
Feel free to continue posting suggestions and whatnot as before.

Thought I had fixed it earlier, but apparently not.
As of now, it's been fixed.

And yes, still chiseling very slowly at the stuff our newbies are working on.
Just you wait.
Oh, already waiting?
Well, keep on trucking then.

It's being done by Yurikai.com, from whom we do not currently upload releases onto the reader.
However, you can easily read all of what they've released so far here: http://www.yurikai.com/reader/8797/v1-chapter-1
Just use the drop-down list or their link to the next chapter to the right of the drop-down box to continue on to the other chapters.

We did get some new editors, but still in the process of training them (ever so slowly, mind you. The Dynasty way~).
The reader continues being complicated, as we're still going to upload non-yuri oriented groups.
Tagging is still incomplete.
Next poll will potentially influence whether or not we (as in I) ask a certain group to put their stuff on the reader, but it'll be more for satisfying my curiosity than anything else.

And because not a single release by me has gone without a hitch, do notify us of any errors or inconsistencies.

Also not on the IRC bot because I am unable to access it for various reasons.

Payapaya has a forced 24-hour policy.
Someone other than me uploaded it before that time period and I was forced to take it down.
Sorry for the trouble.
