At the moment, we are in need of editors and/or cleaners more than anything else. We are also looking for one or two proofreaders.
If you are a complete n00b when it comes to editing or cleaning, but want to learn and have a lot of free time, we will provide training and necessary "tools" for your to do the job. All it takes is some dedication, perseverance, a desire to do a good job, and no allergies to hamsters.
Krytyk is seeing an assistant for Tena on S String. Applicant needs zero (0, none) editing experience. An extremely basic knowledge of photoshop would be nice, but I am sure we can teach you what you need to know without much trouble. Tasks would be basic rotating, applying a pre-made script that Krytyk wrote and erasing all the Japanese text from the text bubbles. An easy and good way to help us out while learning how to clean or edit fully if one so desires.
If you wish to apply for proofreader you should:
- Be a native speaker of English or have a very good handle of the English language, grammar and spelling.
- Manga-Heaven's translator (namely myself) uses American English and spelling. Please understand that while I do not consider British English spelling incorrect, as a group we use American Spellings.
- (we have a bit of a test for you to take should you want to apply)
- Please try to be readily available. We have had 2 people take our test, pass, get hired only to disappear off the face of the earth once they got the acceptance e-mail...
If you wish to apply for a cleaner you should:
- Be capable of basic leveling, and touch ups.
- Be capable and willing to re-draw art to join double pages and remove SFX (no, not the really big ones) and/or text that is over art or tones.
- We would much prefer that you have at least some experience doing this kind of work as we kind of need the manpower sooner rather than later.
- We would much prefer that you are willing to work on any project not just one specific project as many of our staff working on the projects right now do have some attachment to them. That being said, the series that need the most editing love right now are Love Junkies and Tena on S String. However, we have a few old and incomplete projects, back-up chapters of Esprit and some other projects we would like to start that will require some editing staff.
If you wish to apply for a full editing position, you should:
- Be able to do everything outlined in the above cleaner description
- Be able to typeset (choose appropriate fonts, shape text so that it looks nice, etc.) Most of our projects already have font lists and we can supply you with whatever fonts you need to typeset.
In the event you cannot provide some previous work for us to look at with your name in the credits, we may ask you to do a small 4-5 page editing test. We have a fairly standard version and we have an "Do you really think you are uber?" version. You may choose the one you wish to take.
Oh, you may also need to deal with the occasional rabid hamster running amok in the channel. People with allergies should be aware.
For those interested, you may contact us via our IRC channel, e-mail us at [email protected].
Responding here or PMing me here is fine, however, I may respond quicker to one of the above methods (that and you may catch another M-H member who can help you if I am AFK/at work/etc.)
