Clear's track is definitely the best here, and the most adorable I think!
I've found your livejournal while looking for dMMd translations, and I wanted to thank you for translating the drama cds, I have enojoyed reading these a lot :) I also wanted to ask something, if that's not a bother: Do you know of any translation of the short stories included in the DRAMAtical Murder Visual Fanbook? I'm interested in Clear's story in particular. Thank you a real lot for the infos, and again I hope I wasn't a bother.
(btw, I've ordered the book, so in case you or anybody else needs hi-res scans of the stories for translating I can provide them.)
I didn't know that the Visual Fanbook had short stories in them. It was out of stock on Amazon the last time I made my book order =(. So no, I don't know of any translations of the short stories and unfortunately reading Japanese is not my strong point, so it's unlikely I'd be able to translate them with ease.
However I am crushing pretty hard on Clear right now so I might just be masochistic enough to try and attempt to read them lol. If you could provide scans of the stories I'll see if it's within my abilities. If I somehow manage to translate it I'll definitely give full priority to Clear. Noiz and Koujaku would depend on how things go from there and I might not try Mink at all because translating text is very time consuming for me and he isn't worth the trouble. =P This is just an if situation so please don't expect much.
If you ever find translations of the stories somewhere please do let me know! I'd love to read them too. =D
I found out about the stories from a review, I think there are five of them in the book. I will make sure to send you the scans as soon as I get the book (I made the order only yesterday, so I guess it will take a while), thank you a real lot for considering this, even if you won't translate them :)
Reading Noiz and Koujaku's stories would be a plus, but Clear's one is definitely the priority for me too. He has that kind of effect, he's a wonderful character XD And I agree with you about Mink just not being worth any effort, to me he's just too unpleasant (to say the least). I mean, I haven't even played his route yet, so I should probably withold my judgement, but just from what I gathered about him from the common route, and from some spoilers, I think I will end the game disliking him more and more... >_>
I will keep on looking for the stories translations, rest assured I will link them to you if I find any :)
My biggest problem with Mink's route was not so much his character (I still hate the shit he does) but the fact the writers were basically saying it's okay if someone's a giant abusive asshat (understatement) towards you because they have a tragic backstory and ~reasons~ for doing it (which were pretty BS in the first place). It left a really bad aftertaste by the time I finished which made his re:connect story and all attempts at redeeming him impossible in my eyes.
¡Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de traducir! <3 De hecho, Mink es mi favorito, pero respeto totalmente a aquellos que más allá de tenerle disgusto, lo odian, es totalmente comprensible, y siento que Mink solo puede gustarme porqué se trata de un personaje ficticio; sus acciones son totalmente injustificables.
Pero en serio, ni siquiera estoy segura de si leeras esto pero, ¡muchísimas gracias por tu arduo trabajo! Voy a agredecer en todas las traducciones que leí~ <3
