I don't know how many people read this, but I've stated that I would prefer if people didn't host my scanlations on websites such as mangafox, but I've been ignored as I see my scanlations popping up an hour after I release them.
I did say that if I wanted them up on the site, I would post them up myself, and I have done this a few times but most of the time someone else does it before I get there. I don't think I'm demanding anything unreasonable, it's not that hard to download 8mb of data from mediafire, there's no password or post count or anything. I admit that online readers are helpful when you want to read a series that's 10+ chapters long and would be a hassle to download, which is why I intended to upload my scanlations two or three days later. But on a new release, that's only one chapter. That doesn't take long at all, so there's really no reason why using an online reader is any trickier than just downloading the file directly.
That having been said, I'll be changing my policy now. Wait two days. Then you guys can go upload wherever you want. I'm going to try this, and see what happens. If I find my scanlations turning up as soon as I release them, then I'll be more strict, i.e. invited readers only and password protected files. Please don't make me do this. It may be selfish, but scanlating is a lot of work, and I'm spending my own time and money on this. You don't even need to comment, just dropping by is enough. I just don't want you to take scanlations for granted, which is kind of the feeling I get when I see some of the comments on mangafox. I think I'm going a little off topic here, but the point is JUST WAIT TWO DAYS BEFORE YOU GO UPLOADING MY SCANLATIONS TO ONLINE READERS. I don't think it's unreasonable, you don't even need my permission to upload. Please be considerate.
And thanks to all the support that you guys have been giving me, it's great to know, and I really appreciate them. I'm not trying to be a jerk, it just makes me feel uncomfortable when I see me requests ignored like that.
Please don't take this rant the wrong way, I know there are heaps of great people out there, and the point of scanlation is to share the awesome manga around. (online readers are a good way to do this) but please, just follow this policy. Part of the reason for this post was also the fact that people were consistently ignoring my rules. Thank you guys so much.
And on an extra note, just realised that there are some missing pages in Love Sick ch3. I've temporarily removed the dl links as I fix those pages, and it'll be up soon today. Sorry for any inconvenience or confusion.
Edit: They're back up now. Here's the link again. :)
