Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

Finally I have done something! Here is the first chapter of the oneshot CrookClock:

CrookClock	Volume 1
	Chapter 1: [MF] [SS] Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Omake

I am late ... yes, we finished this release weeks ago, then I wanted to wait for Christmas ... and now I'm late -_-
I have to admit this release is even better in the translation then the German one XDD ... while I translated it into English, I had some difficulties ... and asked a Japanese-speaking friend for some help. At the end we changed some really weird sentences in the veeeerry old translation ^^
to make a long story short, this was the main reason for the long wait. After that, as_seth helped in the proofreading (a lot) and made some real suggestions (cause I'm not a native English speaker ... and (even though I'm perverted) my word pool isn't large enough ^^

So I'm presenting you the first English doujinshi scanlation from sscans :) and many thanks to as_seth

Doujinshi
	Kimi no iru sora Gundam Seed Destiny Asukira Rating NC-17 scanned by punkakauntan Link

Is there someone interested in scanlating Junjou Romantica act 19, from volume 12?
I can scan it, clean and edit it. Just need a translator.

It's December 25, 9:30 am, and I'm sitting at work. The rest of the day will involve translating release notes, and an end-of-the-year meeting. Such is Christmas in Japan. ^_^;

So Merry Christmas to those who celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays to those who celebrate something else, an early Happy New Year to those without celebrations, and a Merry TGIF to everyone else. ^_^

*waves* Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find a text translation of vol.6 chapter 1? I'm just dieing to know what happens. ~.~
Thank you and Happy Holidays! :D

Twelve Days, Two Years

Earlier, I had written an entry to junjou_fanatics inquiring about a stamping community for this series. Well, after some time, cielyshirou and I made one together. It's at junjou_rating. So go ahead and join up to find out which character you're most like.

Holiday debuggery

We know there were a few kinks with the holiday promotion. We've been working very hard to get them ironed out. If you have a paid/permanent account, keep on sending those coupons. Here's an update:

• If you were unable to send out multiple coupons at a time, please perform a hard refresh, and you should be good to go.
• If you redeemed a coupon to upgrade your account and the balance at checkout was $0 instead of $9.95 or $15, this means your upgrade did not go through (nor were you charged). We've straightened this out, so you can now apply your holiday coupon toward the purchase of an annual paid account.
• If you tried to redeem a holiday coupon and had trouble using a gift certificate to cover the balance of an annual paid account, we identified the root problem. If this happened to you, you can now use your holiday coupon together with your gift certificate.
• If the number of holiday coupons you have available suddenly goes up (instead of down), this might be due to recipients declining the coupons, at which point your pool of available coupons will be replenished and, therefore, increase.
• If you need assistance with holiday coupons or pretty much anything else (well, LiveJournal related), please open a support request and we'll be more than happy to help!

Tweaks

• There were some initial glitches displaying results on My Guests, but we've worked them out. We hope you'll check out who's been checking you out!
• Some of you reported formatting issues using the Rich Text Editor (i.e., line breaks were being removed incorrectly). We've implemented a fix! Thanks so much for your patience.

Give a little extra!

We're pleased to report that we've already sold over 100 virtual red ribbons in honor of National AIDS Awareness month. Remember, for each charitable vgift you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to fund the development of an HIV vaccine. Once again, we thank you for your generosity.

Celebrate with holiday vGifts!

Stop by the Virtual Gift Shop and share some holiday magic with your LiveJournal friends.
