I swear the two closing the doors on the ambulance are Yukiho and Jun from Hayate Cross Blade... or maybe I'm just sad Seven Seas will apparently never continue their license, and I'm hallucinating out of grief.

An incredible waste of 23's amazing talent, and an unpleasant surprise when I first read this a long time ago, considering his Pixiv is (thankfully) devoid of futa. What I wouldn't give for some stories of the married adult yuri pair he habitually draws.

Would be lovely to have a link to that Pixiv, to save interested parties the trouble of digging around for it.

I got more a "What Rin wants, Rin gets. And pity anyone or anything in the way." This Rin feels manipulative and calculating, and maybe a little too... 'focused' on Miku. I wonder how she might feel about Len for 'discarding' Miku? Perhaps it was... unforgivable? The torn up picture at the end gives me "Nice Boat" vibes. I like it.

Edit: I had a thought, after I posted this, so I went to check: Rin only blushes once in the whole story: not when she's having sex with Miku, not when Len sees them in bed, nor any time you might expect her to blush but at the very end, when she tells Miku "I love you". All but confirmed for some type of yandere, in my book...

Televise it live. Get sponsors. We'll make a sport of it.
Teams of scanlation groups will face off, with dozens of people crowding the IRC channel to scream/text encouragement and catcalls!
In seriousness, good luck to Michan with the editing and MrE with the midterms.

In the Series list especially, but maybe also the Scanlation group page and tag listing, having a small dropdown or tooltip of a little series synopsis/description might be handy, as well as including the mangaka/author/whatever and maybe tags (for series/scanlation). Would make searching to a certain series easier, i.e. if you have an idea of the contents, but not the name. Searching by tag in most cases would probably be more efficient, unless it were something really generic... like, "Oh there was this yuri story... what was it again?"

I spy that separate doujin listing! Yayifications! Having doujin able to be sorted by copyright would probably be ideal, too.

Some colour in the tags might be nice, too; like make NSFW bright red or such, or other "key" tags so people can pick them out easily. Assuming, of course, NSFW remains a tag.

Otherwise, this is looking spot on.

I mentioned this in the "reader suggestion" area, but I'll repost it here since I'm not sure that thread is being checked for suggestions right now, of if it was read.
Personally, I would really like to see a 'booru-like system...
Tags with author/mangaka/whatever, subject/genre, and then tags about the content and/or copyright since there are doujin on the reader, would be really useful for those times when I can remember only a single page/scene of a manga and be like, "What was that manga with a confession in a class room?" Having character names would probably be nice, too, as well as 'pairing names', i.e. Mitsu or HomuMado, etc.
Something like the "safe/questionable/explicit" rating system since it's probably not good to even have a pantyshot if you're reading manga somewhere public (like, say, in your school's resource center/computer lab between classes... yeah, I'm bad, I know.)

Putting newly added manga to the front page rather than only newly released might be nice, too.

Letting registered users edit tags would be pretty cool, so it would cut down on Mr. E's(?) work... though maybe not immediately since we'd likely get some yahoos in there causing some chaos, but once it had settled down I think it would be a system with minimal need for intervention.

Granted, I am a huge fan of 'boorus, so I'm admittedly biased. Letting the fans/users/whatever do the majority of the maintenance in terms of tagging and defining tags, as well as the versatility of making the reader more searchable, I think are the points I really want to make with the "make it a 'booru!" suggestion.

Anyway, about Omni's thoughts...
Comments probably wouldn't be too useful. On occasion I find myself wanting them just as a kind of dialogue with other people who read the manga, other times I'm like, "Wow, if there were comments it would be full of "this is hot", thank whatever gods may be that isn't the case."
I think it's more, "Do you (Dynasty) want to moderate comments?"

Blacklist/sub to tags sounds nice, if series/groups could be added as well. I.e. Now that Yamanko is over, I'm completely disinterested in Pretty Anon's work, so I wouldn't want that taking up space when browsing.

Anyway, best of luck, Dynasty.

Edit: DERP, should have checked again. Seems you've already heard it and thought about it, so Dynasty, just disregard the above. Not going to erase it because, well, it will remain a testament to my derpy-ness. =/

Having user-editable tags, ala Danbooru, would be pretty cool. Or, basically, have a 'booru-esque system over all; tags, tag definitions in a wiki, ratings, etc.
Would reduce the workload for Mr. E and give me something to do- erm, I mean, give the readers something to give back. And kill time with.
Anyway, not sure at all how do-able that would, but yeah; food for thought, I guess?

How unreal, Dynasty ending scanlation... I almost can't get my head around it. For a minute I thought it was April Fools again and I was like, "Where did those months go it was November yesterday".
As one of the greatest "flagship" translation groups of yuri, at least on par with Lililicious, it's truly tragic.
Congratulations on the good run, Dynasty, and while I'm heartbroken (I wish I were joking, it's like someone died) to see you go, I'm really thankful for all the lovely yuri you've scanlated and shared over the years.
Cheers, and well wishes.

I see, so it was like that...
As expected of Dynasty: very proper.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

After Solelo turned into Ghostyuri, and even before that, it didn't seem ViVid was really going to be a lasting project for Winterbraid.
That as it is, another group, ViVid Translations (as well as various others for various chapters), has also translated it.
My question is, will Dynasty be following these other groups and updating their library with current ViVid chapters (up to 20 as of this post, with 17 on the reader), or was it abandoned when Wings of Yuri stopped releasing it?

Edit:
I somehow completely forgot that Payapaya had picked it up from Solelo... actually, I kind of completely forgot Payapaya even existed... Eh heh.
That aside, their (Payapaya's) progress has been... sparse of late, with their last ViVid release on Jan. 28th, 2011.
In light of this, I'll rephrase my question: If other groups pull ahead in releasing, will Dynasty wait for Payapaya to continue for the sake of consistency, or use the releases of the group that is moving along (assuming they give permission to use their translated chapters, since I do know Dynasty is nothing if not polite)?

I ask because using the Dynasty reader is a lot more convenient then even having it on my harddrive... and because I was interested to see if Dynasty knew about other groups moving forward with the series.

Because there isn't enough AsaNaga in the world. And I wanted to contribute, if even just a little.
On another note, after years of PhotoShop, using GIMP is a pain. So much to unlearn. So for now it's plain and simple.
