Latest Updates


We’re kind of hoping you guys buy enough to look like this, lawl

SUDDENLY, THERE IS AN INFLUX OF AWESOME ON THE TURTLE PARADISE WEBSITE.

Yup, we’re now part of the J-list affiliate program, so banners have, like, taken over the website or something. These guys stock some pretty hilarious stuff, so you guys should get a kick out of it, too! (right?) And if you click on one of those banners and end up making a purchase, a percentage will go back to Turtle Paradise and fund future scanlations and server maintenance, which means it’s great for everyone involved.

(PS: check out their snacks category.. IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.)

Also, Reb just started yelling at me about not doing a status update (BAAAAAW), so here it is. We’re gonna have a ton of stuff ready, and it’s gonna be ready fast. We got a ton of new, awesome staffers from that last post, and everyone’s finishing their projects all at once, lawl.

Oh, we’re plotting alright.

There are a million billion people out there in the world right now and I’m willing to bet that today is one of their birthdays. So here’s to you, Mister one in a million billion people out there in the world right now; be glad that on this day XXX years ago your mother catapulted you out of her gaping maw and into this world. Here, have this present of not one, but two chapters of Barajou… and thank YOU for being born.

Okay, so all Evangelion-based lampooning aside, I’ll bet you’re all wondering WHY this chapter took so goddamn long to get out. It’s because we no longer have any editors. Nope, not a goddamn one. Our last dependable staffer has disappeared off the face of the planet (like so many before her) and we don’t have anyone to step up to the plate in her place. And hopefully, that’s where one of you will come in. (By which I mean plz plz plz take the editor test oh my GOD we need help.)

ANYWAY! As of this chapter we’ve changed “Anise’s” name to the official romanization of “Anis”. PROTIP: It’s pronounced Ah-nis, with a soft “A,” not a hard “A” like in “Anus,” which is pretty much the reason we changed it to begin with. But worry not, we’re gonna go and re-do the earlier chapters to reflect that change later this month to make up for not releasing anything on the 21st. (Durp durr)

Anywho, thanks for being patient (Oh god I can’t say that with a straight face…), and enjoy the new chapters. Yeah. They’re plotty… Or at least the second one is. YAY, CONFLICT. We also went ahead and re-released chapters 11 and 12 to get you started. (That brings ch.12 up to a whopping v3, lawl. OH BOY, DOES THAT EVER LOOK GOOD.)

Anyway, not to be a fear-mongerer or anything, but if we don’t get any new editors in the near future, like, REALLY near future, we’re probably going to have to shut down for a while. Both Melly and I go to work AND school full time, and neither of us really has the extra time to do too much more of this on our own, so unless we get some more hands on staff, our release rate’s gonna go down even more than it already has… and that’s saying a lot. Again, visit the forums and take the EDITOR tests if you have the time! (We’re set with typesetters for the time being. All we need right now are IMAGE EDITORS.)

I LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING!

Last month I got it into my head that deadlines were for losers and caused far more stress to both myself and my comrades than I’d like to inflict on them for a thankless job with no compensation. No sooner had the thought occurred to me than I had woken up three weeks later, head fuzzy with no recollection of how I had spent my time previous and sleeping next to a mountain of veritable treasure, my apparent loot from a uninhibited buying frenzy at a convention no less than a four hour drive away. The first thought that came into my mind was, “Gee whiz, look at all this neat stuff!” followed by the sinking realization that I had sorely, sorely neglected my group in the meantime.

With that said, I apologize and offer you some brainless fluff as compensation for my woeful incompetence. Enjoy?

And after you’re done reading that, try dropping by the forum and, I don’t know, APPLY FOR STAFF! (Editors and typesetters needed!)

Filed under Announcements.

As I’m sure most of you can tell by the lack of recent releases, we’re omega short-staffed at the moment. Some of our regulars are busy with school, others are taking a break, and still more have simply disappeared on us. With that said, we’d love to have some more help ESPECIALLY in the editing department!

If you’ve got the motivation and most importantly the time to spare, all you have to do is register for an account at the forums, make five posts, and then you’ll have access to the tests. The difficulty level is pretty high, but you don’t necessarily have to pass or even fully complete a test to be considered for a staff position. Just try, and we’ll work with you from there.

On that note, we’re going to start shifting our focus to appeal to a wider range of people – and that includes a heaping pile of SEINEN. So if you like the gritty stuff, we’ve got what you’re lookin’ for. Hopefully. What I’m trying to say is you probably shouldn’t apply if you’re all about butterflies and rainbows, because, uh, that makes us all die inside.

In the meantime, we DO have quite a few different titles almost ready for release, so… look forward to that, I guess?

By prioritizing education over entertainment, duh.

It’s a well known fact that most of TP’s staff is around college age, and with that comes (drumroll, please) excessive schoolwork, which is what we’re all dealing with right now, and it seems that Barajou has become collateral damage in our ongoing war against atrophy. Woops.

Long story short, the next chapter of Barajou is going to be delayed a bit, but we’ll get it out when we can. In the mean time we might have some other releases, but that’s because we’ve got multiple staff working on their own projects, and Barajou just happens to be more time consuming than most.

Thanks for your understanding!

PS: By popular demand, we have a twitter now. I’m still trying to figure out how this works, so… follow us? =D
