Friends list
To those who have randomly added me: I'm happy to meet new Gackt fans and get to know people BUT some of them do not comment at all or post anything in their journals. I've had too many people doing the disappearing act and also people who posted my translations without my permission and without credit. (I'm not saying it's anyone here cos that was waaay back.) I'm not being selfish but I would like to meet REAL people not leeches. So if your journal is an empty one (a post that says 'Friends Only' is valid because that means your entries are locked), sorry, I won't add you back. If you just created your journal within three months, sorry I won't add you back. You can get your translations elsewhere, I'm sure there are many out there. I would like the people on my friends list to be real people who comment (I'm not asking for comments to every post I make, but an occasional one is nice. At least then I know you exist.) and react and have a valid journal going on. I don't mean to say I wanna read about your life, but even posting about anything is fine. Just comment to this post to be added and I'll add you. If you add me without commenting here, I won't know it because I turned off the notification. But it's still my discretion on who to add back. There aren't many locked posts anyway. So if you just want news, 99% of the time they are not locked.
Another issue would be the translations.
Thank you those who thank me whenever I post a translation or just any news. It makes me happy and motivated to do more. :D I know I'm not fantastic at it but just a simple 'thank you' is enough to make me happy. It shows someone appreciates the hard work I put in. (besides I know that someone actually reads them lol ) I would just like to ask that you credit me or link back to my post (if it's public) if you post them elsewhere. Please also do not paraphrase my translations and claim them as your own. If I know you did, you'll be out of my friends list in double quick time.
Staff Blog Entries
I'll be locking staff blog entries whenever a new one appears whether or not I have translated it. This is what happens at the community site and I think it's fair to all.But they will still be available to people on my flist. I would however appreciate that you do not repost the pictures from the staff blog anywhere.
NO HOTLINKING OF IMAGES!
Requests
I accept translation requests. However, I need to emphasize that I have a full time job, am studying and have a gazillion things going on. So the request may not be processed quickly. Also I do not accept video/ audio translations. Sorry but my hearing is BAD. I'll also translate what I think is more important first, so if you can't wait, sorry.
That's all for now.
