Life's too short for virtual wars and hate against people you're most likely never gonna meet offline, move on people.

2. Do you work on any series that you don't like? If so, why working on them?
Somehow ended up on one, however the reason I'm still on it (against sanity, lol) is cause I see the potential of creating something amazing from it... if only for the want of a complete team ><;;;;

Project Leader, Translator (in training), ass kicker, male stresser, party starter, mischievous minx.

Group correspondence, translate, basic editing, basic QC'ing and dealing with the lovely bitchy and rude leechers when everyone else has resorted to sniper guns.

Releasing! xD
Well in a sense I guess so, cause it's everyone's efforts combined to give the public something good. ^^

4. Make a definition of the job you can do or your current fansubbing job briefly.
Keeping tabs on the status of a project, making sure team members keep in touch, engage in the art of mental masochism (aka translate), driving my group members around the bend, the usual :P

F Other Plans
1. When are you planning to retire/quit from fansubbing?

If fansubbing on the net becomes obsolete, but at most I may have 'extended breaks'; can't really stop learning a language.
2. Are you planning to train other novice fansubbers so that they'll be just as good as you are?
Ask me that in 3 years, lol.
Generally, I don't mind making newbies feel welcome and offering all kinds of help, as long as they're willing to work hard and improve in their field.
3. Are you going to document everything what you did so that other people can get to know how to fansub better?
Nope, I believe we have a fansubwiki for that already.
