I wasn't sure where to post this, so here it goes.

I've been translating to English for some time the Spanish webcomic "Raruto Sisepuede" (sequel of Raruto), and since it's pretty unknown in English, I thought I could upload it here and get it some readers. Only that, since the comic is self-published and the author (kinda) agrees to me translating it, you could say it's an official translation and not a fan work. So, just to be sure, I went out of my way to ask both the author and the previous translators if I could upload it and they all agreed.

The author, though, said that I could also upload the Spanish chapters under a fan account for Jesulink.com (his website, where he publishes the chapters). So I have already created that account ("Jesulink.com Fan"). If you think that doesn't follow the forum guidelines (though I didn't find anything against duplicate accounts), go ahead and delete it. Otherwise, I'd ask you to give it contributor status so I can upload the chapters from that account without having to wait for approval.

If needed I can show you the e-mail from the author, but mind you that it's in Spanish. (I might be going overboard with this, but I want to do it right.)

Well i don't see any reasons as to why you are unable to upload it here as it is the official and the fan made translation so no worries from my understanding

Re: Uploading
You may upload both versions. (This is not a statement to all, goes on a case by case basis)

You can forward a copy of the proof of permission to [email protected].

Ironically, the CC-by,nc,nd license on their website prevents derivative works, which is what you do. But if you got direct permission, CC doesn't really matter.

Just to note, we will be altering some aspects of batoto to cater original comics differently from scanlations in the future.

Re: Duplicate accounts.
We do realize that duplicate accounts are necessary in the event of keeping separate and meaningful identity such as group account and personal account. As such, it is allowed. Although duplicate accounts for illegitimate actions such as ban evasion are obviously not allowed.
