Hey gang,

Now that OAV 3 has completed (save for the OAV 3 Special due out in September), a
new push is being made to get Kajishima-sensei's writings on TM!R translated into
English.  Some, like the doujinshi, will never officially be translated into English.

While the novels do have a chance at being published, at present there doesn't seem
to be any real effort being made on that front.

So I'm going to put out a plea to you folks who are fluent in Japanese and English
-- if you have the time and love TM!R (and if you are on this ML, you must at least
like Tenchi a fair amount) could you help us out?

First, Kryo ( http://www.geocities.com/kryotmida/novels/ttn.htm ) is looking for assistance
in getting the TTN's translated.  While we do have Tatsumingo's site, Kryo is looking
to go into greater depth with his summaries.  So please if you can, offer
your services there. 

Second, there is the various doujinshi containing Q&A with Kajishima-sensei or which
contain short stories (ie: "21st Century").  Currently we do have a couple of people
working on "21st Century" which is great, but obviously we could use others to
work the other doujinshi (GXP or TM!R from Kajishima-sensei). 

Finally, there are the other works such as "101" or other Q&A from other publications
(such as the "Tenchi in Tokyo" artbook, who's title eludes me at the moment).

I know there is a fan translation of "101" (for which I'm grateful), but as True Sheol
and Watotsu found out, it is missing some information and has other stuff which wasn't
translated quite right.

Anyway, if you can help, talk to Kryo or myself. Baring that, if you know someone
NOT on this ML who could help, try to talk them into it. If you have scans of rare
Kajishima-sensei doujinshi, that's cool too! ^_^

Thanks in advance!
