Randy Rabbits: We Can Scanlate It for You Wholesale

Because people read posts, not pages.

Rabbits do commissions?

Yeah. Contact ribaldrabbit[at]gmail[dot]com (obviously replace those brackets) and we'll exchange the details. If you're sending the raws, send it through Mediafire or Megaupload or something because if there's anything attached, I'm not opening it.

How much for how much?

Tit-for-tat. You give us a 30 page doujinshi to do, you'll have to pay us enough to get another 30 page doujinshi. Exceptions would be if you want us to buy the very thing you want us to do...well, really, nothing changes there. If you want us to have flat rates...we'll think about it. "Yo cunt, tit-for-tat is more expensive!" No, it's not. Usually your average sized doujinshi is around $10 US from the places Funny and Pat buy from: Mandarake, Plecomi, jpqueen, and Japanese Shop Samurai. Add shipping and that's $15. If you feel like paying us more than the required for whatever bizarre reason, I'm not-- no, I would stop you. What the fuck are you thinking?

If you're commissioning for the first time, 50% advance up-front. When we're done the final version, we'll send it to you to look over, see if it's to your liking.

What can I commission?

Anything. Really, anything. Hentai, yaoi, yuri, non-sex doujinshi, ANYTHING. That said, it ultimately depends on what our translators can take...as well as our cleaners. If there's one person who can't handle something, there's probably another that can. Like, there's already Funny, Pat, and myself as cleaners who will SERIOUSLY work on anything. I may not LIKE the material but it will be done. Naturally, there are things that some people just wouldn't want to cross. Just send us the raw if you're iffy and we'll decide ourselves.

Also important: we focus on oneshots and doujinshi. If you want us to do full-blown volumes of manga, that's probably not happening. It'll have to be special request right there.

How long will it take?

Depends on the script; could take up to a week in total for the average 30 page. Remember, the Rabbits also work on a ton of other non-sex projects. Hey, what's a week? Think of it as a build-up to the exciting climax. Ugh, I'm saying nothing but double entendres now. If you REALLY need it fast for some reason, make sure to tell us and we MIGHT speed things up. No promises on that.

Keep in mind that if you're having us buy the doujinshi proper, it'll take even more time since shipping takes a week or so.

How will it be done?

A translator gets the script up, which takes around a week. During that time, our cleaners go at it, taking about the same time or less. If dialogue is in a bubble, it's translated. If dialogue is outside of a bubble, it's translated. Most in-bubble SFX as well; SFX that's not in bubbles aren't unless you're willing to shell out for more. If you want, author's notes can be translated too, though that'll take more time. Page quality will depend on the raw quality; if it's crap, we'll do what we can to make it less crap. If it's good, it's good. The script and text itself is lovingly edited by literary experts such as myself (prettyprophet), nde, Lavie Rhap, and Chief Rabbit funny_bunny in order to give you the best experience possible. Man, this sounds like some massage spa ad.

I want to put the commission on my own site!

It's your commission, why not?

I want to take all the credit for it!

Uh, no. If there's one thing we insist on, it's leaving in our credits. Please, credit where credit is due. We'd show the same courtesy. Of course, your own name (should you wish) will be prominently displayed somewhere (should you wish). Speaking of credit, this FAQ was pretty much copied off SaHa's FAQ. On terms of starting off in the scanlating of sex, his work was pretty much the basis for how we now operate.

I want to put the commission on my private site and charge top dollar for it!

Now that's a fucking brilliant idea! We'll just release the thing for free to the public immediately after! What a deal.

I want to make my commission secret!

That's fine. However, should we see it floating around the abyss of the Internet, we'll release it to the public. Also, should someone else ask for that same commission, all they have to pay is a straight $5 and it's out. Exception is if the raws were originally scanned by you; not FOUND, scanned. In that case, we'll move all the work onto the new commissioner's raws.

I have no more questions!

You sure? Go ahead and ask in the comments [do it in the actual page, not here, please] or email if you're the discreet type.

Randy Rabbits: The Categorical Imperative

The Randy Rabbit, serving all your fetishy needs.

Yo, Prophet here. We had a little sit-down and decided, "Let's throw our loyal readers a bone." Ok, that's totally not true. What REALLY happened was Patty was all bitching about how we didn't have different categories for fetishes. Funny thought about it for a second and then sided with her. Fuck it, I didn't want to argue over this shit......enjoy your categories. Course, they can crossover into each other, so......look, you should know how this goes down by now.

Anal: Anything involving the ass. Toys, fucking, what have you.

Beast: FUCK YEAH!

Breasts: "You dumbfucks, when does hentai NOT have breasts of some kind?" Uh, DDT's Ouverture didn't; Saber was clothed, motherfucker. This is for when there's major breastplay, like enormous boobs, titfucking (a bit strange how this ties in with big breasts, huh?), and lactation.

Cunnilingus: You know when a guy goes down on a girl because he wants to give HER pleasure? Whenever that's insanely detailed or the focus of the thing, we'll use this; in other words, you will never see this category unless it's yuri.

Domination: Any sort of...domination. And by domination, we don't mean S&M play. We mean rape, physical and psychological abuse, blah blah blah. Femdom is included. Doesn't mean the thing will be painfully dark, just means it probably won't be consensual.

Fellatio: Blowjobs! Will also use for yuri if they're packing strap-ons.

Futanari: Dickgirls of any kind.

Gender Bender: Gender swap.

Group Sex: More than two individuals involved.

Guro: FUCK YEAH!

Happy Sex: Consensual sex. This is probably a turn-off to people.

Hentai: All-ages literature that is read aloud at social gatherings.

Lolipops: Guess. Inspired by DJ Max Portable 2, Ladymade Star.

Raw: Hasn't been translated yet. Help us out, PLEASE. FUCK.

Scanlation: What we do, how we roll.

Scat: FUCK YEAH!

Shotakkun: Guess. Inspired by FLCL, Naota Nandaba.

Tentacle: FUCK YEAH!

Yaoi: All-ages literature that is read aloud at churches, mosques, and temples.

Yuri: Bullshit.

+++++++

Sorry, but I'm not going to list every fucking fetish in existence; you can check the fucking insane list at the Doujinshi DB. This is just a list of the generals. Maybe it'll be updated if there's stuff that's popular but was left out for whatever reason.

Also, this is a post AND a page because no one looks at the pages. Commissions! Get them in before our translators get swarmed!

Randy Rabbits: On Scanlating the Sex

Can you take a guess at how difficult it is?

Answer: not very, at least for those doing the gruntwork. Let's use the recent Etrian doujinshi as example. Translating? Could've been a bitch; go ask ak the translator. But everything else? It was fun. You think I'm joking? Cleaning was a cinch. Just leveled, got rid of some obvious bits of dust, some minor redraws for bubbles. Proofreading? Here's a reenactment:

funny_bunny: Oh boy, thanks to prophet and nde for proofing the script! I will typeset this as fast as a fiddle!

Killer Ink: Text looks kinda dry.

funny_bunny: By Zeus! You're right! THIS TEXT NEEDS MORE ZING! 1000 Rabbits! To me!

And then he had us read the script out load. With vigor. I bet I sound pissed off right now, but I'm not. It seriously was a hilarious time. See, all those SFX like moaning and groaning? We added that in after so we were just reading the actual dialogue. The SFX, ak didn't translate much because it was all "ah" and "oh". If we were just to put that, it would've gotten boring chop-chop. So we decided to take a page from SaHa and spice it the FUCK up. Mad props to SaHa for the vast range of sex-SFX like "nng" and "mmph". And Funbuns says that "puah" is his favorite...that's the sound of gagging on cockjuice, which I assume he's familiar with. I like "fuah" myself; I'm gonna have to ask people if they've ever said that during copulation.

But, if you've read the Etrian doujinshi, you'd have noticed a special kind of ZING we added, SFX non-withstanding. Emphasis, motherfucker. Thanks to our readings of the script, we decided to bold up the more IMPORTANT words. We all think it enhances the hell out of it...but what do you think? I mean, if you all hate it...frankly, we're not going to stop. We enjoy it way too fucking much, so...deal.



Anyways, this'll be applied to yaoi and any other randy titles the Rabbits will play with. Will we take requests, commissions, and donor projects, like the other hentai groups? Uh, maybe? Remember kids, we're the RABBITS. We do anything and everything...that our translators will translate. So the real final word is on them.

Funny and Pat buy doujinshi regularly and anything that's not already scanned or stuff that's hard to find...we will scan. But it's a little too early to REALLY beg for cash, so we're going to hold off on that for while longer. That said, donations of any kind are welcome: sending us rare raws of stuff we're asking for would be rock; $$$ would be even rocker. As you surely see, none of us have any sort of restraint in showing off the unspoken sexual side of fandom. Well, I know me and Lavie shake our heads incredulously while Pat and Funny devour this shit.

So yeah, come to the Club Cowslip for all your Randy Rabbit After Dark needs. This is prettyprophet the PR Rabbit, peacing out.
