Light Novel Collaboration?

Interesting, it sounds like you had planned for it to be exclusive to Japanese almost. I realize that you are planning to distribute it with Japan, but is there something holding you back from circulating it in places like the US? Rather than a collaborator, it sounds more like you are looking for someone that would be willing to translate your work. In that case, it might be better to have some material already done.Lets say you found a translator who is translating at the speed that you write your chapters. But, if something urgent happens along the way, say you have classes and you need to catch up, or a family member dies, etc etc, then you, the writer, would have to stop. This effecectively inhibits the translator, since they no longer have any material to work on. I feel that by having some of the work done, you'd have a margin of error/freedom.
Is there a reason that you'd like to distribute it to Japan? Just out of curiosity.
The main reason I want to distribute it in Japan is the lack of a market in other countries for the type of yuri/magical girl story I want to do. Even if there were a market I don't think publishers would go for it. In regards to the translator, he/she wouldn't necessarily have to be the collaborator. The collaborator will basically be someone who writes as much of and has as much say in the story as I do. It is a good idea to get a head start before I find a translator which is what I was already planning on anyway. I just wanted to get the word out in case someone could do it or knew someone who could.

I don't want to report you... yet. So I'm just gonna remind you again; don't double post. It's against the rules. Unless you're making a huge update or something, or make a post containing a totally different section of information or the likes (I believe). But right now you're just quoting different people with double posting - it's not allowed.

I wonder how and where he can find a fitting translator to begin with...

I'd love to collaborate, I love Yuri stories and I'd like to get some more experience with writing
I also am in the middle of learning Japanese, so if it's possible we could try getting it published in Japan one day if you want

Well branondorf. I think Your cause might be a bit dreamlike but it only drives me into it even more ^_^
I'm not confident about my raw writing skills and my knowledge about Japanese laguage is... let's say I merely started learning Romanji so I'm really useless for You at this point.
Even so: if it's a light novel You probably will try having some illustrations in it? If You're ok with my skill and rather constant lack of time (I take to many projects at once XD. Good I'm caffeine addict and rather hyper) I might be able to help You.
I'll send You a little sample of my skill via PM. Reason why will be added.

Well may I ask how are your thoughts about the story concept itself? If you feel it's already solid enough, then I have nothing else to offer ya, but if you feel that the concept needs improvement I can try to give ya some help and advice~

My entry for the summer contest is turning in to something I really want to write more on.

Sure. Do you think my writing skills are up to an appropriate level for this?
I'm not sure and even if it isn't, I can edit your stuff for you.
