Thank you so much for your input everyone! I’ll try and sum up what I read and my responses (sorry if I miss something here):
- Donations won’t hurt. Unless you overwork, then STAHP IT.
- <3
- Apply for other grants.
- Doing this! Even writing to the ones that need essays… >.<
- Cut back on college to part time.
- Impossible! Transferring out from this city college to a proper 4 yr next fall semester and I need full time to finish in time! Upside is I’ve finished quite a large portion of my bachelor already…
- $50-$70/Chapter
- This seems high… I’ll start at the minimum suggested and see how that works. If it turns out that is too much–as I suspect–I’ll lower it!
- Put off translating until I have more time
- … But I like translating. :<
- Don’t do a $-for-chapter system.
- I fear that might cause me to slack off honestly…
- Donations won’t be steady cash, don’t rely on it
- I’m definitely going through multiple avenues for cash right now! (Including working on getting the $2500/semester back, though it looks unlikely…)
- Move to England.
- That would be amazing. Oh well.

I’ll be putting up the donate buttons here in a moment and start TLing again right now. I think I should have an extra 1 chapter of each thing TLed in advance so that I don’t get overwhelmed… so I’ma try and do that. $50/chapter will be what I start at but will lower it if that is too high.
I’ll put up a proper donation explanation page later tonight or tomorrow in the morning. For now, I’ll go with this:
Baselines:
- Two chapters per week. Subject to change as my schedule allows. Cycle between FH > DB > HP. Consider The Restart chapters freebies.
- Three extra chapters per week maximum.
- No chapters during midterms and finals.
I’ll notify everyone in advance if any of the rules change. Note that any changes will be on the soon-to-be-posted Donations page.
On a side note, I made some custom donate buttons… because reasons. The bright yellow would look weird with my site’s theme. I’ll add donation trackers… once I figure out how they work.
Did I mention I have no idea how this stuff works?
Here’s hoping I set it up correctly.
Don’t forget you can try national guard for free too nearly free college and all you have to do is 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks for a summer… Almost forgot but you have to pass your PT test and then it is nearly free college depending on what state guard you join…
“Move to England. ”
Why not Canada?
Because England is Awesome?
They(ve got The Doctor man, can Canada beat that? Can it?
No, it can’t!
But Celine Dion!
Yeah, right! Go to England !
Celine Dion herself is a good exuse to never move to Canada.
That, and the caribous.
And the temperature.
And Terence and Philip.
And…
Damn, you say that cause you know I am Doctor fan too… :V
Don’t even blink.

Its a drop in the bucket, but have you tried going to a plasma “donation” center? You can go as much as once a week and it’s an extra 100-200 usd a month.
I may or may not have a phobia of needles.
I know it’s all in my head, but I get ghost pains from wherever I’m poked with ’em days later… >.<
Though, if it's between that and my car…
Well, if you’re gonna donate something, I’ve got an idea that’s a bit less “painful”.
But you have to be a guy, though.
Well, still better than needles, right?
Death to the needles!
Any way to donate for specific chapters (to speed up the ones we want rather than a general ‘help the TL’ donation button) ? This could be a kind of guiding light from your loyal friends/readers
Right side of the page, there are three different buttons. Whichever one you pick will give me a reference tag of the correct series.
<3
do you accept donations of steam gift card? ;p
That’s an interesting question.
It wouldn’t exactly help with what problems I’m having, but… games are fun.
Very fun.
Torrents are free.
I’ve got like a thousands $ worth of game on my laptop, but I didn’t pay for it.
I mean, here it’s 90$ a game.
I’d be able to play only at xmas…
I know it’s kind of (totally) illegal, but…
Damn son, look at them Dragons Bloodline chapters!
Yeah.
Eeek.
I believe in you friend 😀
The like button for comments went away for some reason, so here’s a heart.
<3
hehe
Gah… Too tired to finish DB chap tonight… Will post tomorrow…
Chapter 13 — Ogre King
(~’.’)~
Seeing as you have enough donations for 10½ chapters of Dragon’s Bloodline , if I were to donate 150 for the renaming 3 Happy Peach chapters, would that go to the very back of the cue or will you alternate between them?
I would alternate.
Hi ziru. Thanks for all these chapters you’re giving us & I’m very sorry I cant donate anything. I live in the Philippines & the donate button isnt really applicable in our country.
It’s all good dude, enjoy the chapters as always! <3
