Current & Future L-E Projects / Re: initial d 4th stage ep. 11 and 12

Hehe I'm inclined to agree with the general opinion of the people posting here..
Simple fact is this, when you're fansubbing you have IRC open and you have substation alpha/medusa open. Fansubbing is one of the rare things where there is such direct contact between the person doing it and the person who derrives benefit from it.
I've been in the game for just over a year now and I can tell you from experience, if you're hanging out in a channel at the same time as trying to get fansubbing work done, its incredibly distracting seeing people asking "when will X be out". At least for me when such conversation is happening I find it very difficult to concentrate on my work. When you come on IRC to ask "when will ID4 eps XX be out" just remember that you are probably just distracting the people who work on the show from getting the job done.
Its a common courtesy across the whole fansubbing world that one does not ask when new eps are coming out. L-E is not on its own in not giving "status updates". Look at animesuki theres a pinned thread saying "Dont ask when the next ep will be out".
The simple reason as has been stated many times before is people have lives. I'm doing a Masters Degree and I have a 70 credit dissertation in the works. This comes BEFORE the work I'm doing on typesetting Shin Kaguya Shima Densetsu. However people are happy to wait because they know that there will be quality work done.
Just because someone is being slow with their bit of the job doesnt mean they care about the show it just means that they are sticking to the golden rule of fansubbing
REAL LIFE COMES FIRST
