The Infamous Question

January 5th, 2009 by Lacaille

The staff’s various answers to the infamous question: WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE THE NEXT CHAPTER?! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER!


isengaurd: BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU KEEP PESTERING ME!!!!!


Shadow Chick: Do you know how many releases we do? Have you bothered to check that we’ve been doing daily releases for a good part of a season? Perhaps you haven’t realized HOW LITTLE STAFFERS I HAVE KICKING AROUND. Not only that, but my beloved SC is going on hiatus and won’t be able to do MS anymore, so now I have an added trouble of finding someone just as awesome to do it!


Razril: You’re talking as if WAITING is a bigger inconvenience than actually spending so much hours of your life to slave on producing ONE CHAPTER o.o


Daffyd: -delete-


Asahina: Go screw yourself. I have my own life.


Adrift: Oh, hello there! Wait, did I miss you somehow? Are you part of some hidden staff that I don’t know or see? Because… you see… I know no one who reads Aerandria’s work would ever complain that we don’t release enough, or even implying that we should be sacrificing more of our free time because for some reason… We just can’t get everything done fast enough for you! I’m sorry, I really am. Seeing as how you must be contributing somehow to the overall process of getting said series out…. I’ll make sure that it gets released. Oh yeah, that’ll absolutely be on the top of my list after seeing your e-mail. God! How could it have slipped my mind?  Since I don’t seem to have recognize you from my list of staffers… What project did I give you to work on again? What do you do for us? Please reply, since, according to you, we have work here to do.


kuinni: shut the fuck up bastard, do you want to die? ‘-’


craxx: PFFFFFFTT. C’mon. Do you think we have time to answer to this TYPE of questions? We’re TOO BUSY working on IT


Suyara: When you scan, translate, proofread, edit and then upload a chapter in one month… that will be the day you understand how the world works.


Marcella: We are currently trying to take over the world. Please ask that question at a more decent time… like, when we’ve taken over your life.


Lacaille: *looks*
*raises eyebrows*
*walks away*


claymaven: *claymaven scurries to find the answer*

(Total Projects – Future Projects – Pending Projects) = Number of Projects currently in queue for release.

(Number of Projects in Queue for release) x (Scanning Time) x (Translation time) x (Proofreading time) x (Editing Time) x (Quality Check time) = (Time necessary to release ONE chapter of each series everymonth)

(Time necessary to release ONE chapter of each series every month) / ((Number of staff members) x (Average amount of time each staff member has to commit to the scanlating process) – (Hours spent answering e-mails to questions about when the next release is going to be)) = (Total hours needed per month per staffer to release ONE chapter of each series)

(Total hours needed per month per staffer to release ONE chapter of each series) > (Total number of hours available in an average month)

*claymaven’s head explodes from the complex calculations*

Rhyming time!!!
