NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
Sorry that this is a little late--I may allow people to declare their participation a few days into December to make up for it? We'll see.
The idea, basically, is to spend a month pushing yourself to translate as many songs as is within your capability. (Despite the name, these don't have to be anime songs specifically--just something that falls within the purview of this site.) If you are a Lv. 2 Contributor to AnimeLyrics and wish to participate, please reply to this thread with your song list (explained below).
The rules are the same as last year:
- The event starts when the clock strikes 12 midnight (00:00) on December 1st in your timezone, and ends at 11:59 on December 31st. This means that different people will have different start and end times.
- Incomplete or double submissions do not count.
- Please do not simply put up lyrics that you have done beforehand, that is against the spirit of this challenge.
- If the transliteration is not on the site yet, you are allowed to submit the translit before the event starts.
- Translations from the event are immune from being replaced via Lyrics Correction for a month.
- You will declare a specific target number of submissions (which may be changed anytime before the challenge begins, but not after) that is based on your translating capabilities.
- For translators who have been active for two years or less or have fewer than twenty translations on the site, the minimum target is ten songs. (You only have to meet one of these criteria to go for the lower target.) For more senior translators, the minimum is twenty-four. Your target number may be adjusted until December 1st.
- In addition, you are to provide a song list adding up to roughly half your target number. This is your Compulsory Songs (CS) set. CS are songs you are committing to having translated by the end of the month. Only one translator participating in the challenge may have any given song on their CS list, and the song cannot already have a translation up on the site (check carefully; one year I missed that five whole songs on my list were already up).
- The rest of your target number is made up of Freechoice Songs (FS). Any song you translate during the month of December that's not on your CS list counts toward your FS total. For example, if your target number is thirty-one, you could put sixteen songs on your CS list; you would then need to translate fifteen songs not on your CS list to make your target. (You could also pick fifteen CS songs and leave sixteen as FS, or seventeen and fourteen, as long as it's roughly half-and-half.)
- If a song in your CS set has been translated by a non-participant during the event, you will be notified through PM to attempt it within 3 days.
- If your t/l is judged to be superior, it will be put up on the site, which will count towards your CS list.
- If your t/l is inferior, it will not be put up on the site, but will not be struck off your CS list.
- If you do not respond with a t/l in 3 days, your song will be struck off from the CS list.
- If a song from your CS set is struck off, you must make it up by translating two FS songs, increasing your target number. For example, if your target number is twenty-four with a CS set of fifteen, and four of those songs are struck off, not only do you have to translate four FS songs to make up for the CS songs you didn't do, you have to translate four extra FS songs, for a total of twenty-eight.
- You are allowed to exceed your FS count and thus your target number.

Well, I was going to, but maybe it's not worth it if it's just us two.
Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
I might be interested :V
I'm sure there are categories in my range that have holes to fill in, so I'll prioritize completion.
EDIT:
While I was figuring out what to do, I went ahead and submitted the rest of my 2013 CS list that I didn't manage to finish at the time. (*ﾉω・*)ﾃﾍ
I will try doing a bit of a stretch this year to get myself back into the swing of things after the one-year hiatus. I'm sure this is a great idea. のヮの

Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
Dammit I completely forgot about this due to exams, next year I guess.
Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
So, due to uncontrollable circumstances that crashed into my life for the first two weeks of December, as well as the additional week I wasted myself in attempt to cope with them, I have found myself able to produce very little. Suddenly, I find myself close to the point where holiday plans obstruct productivity for almost the rest of the month.
Even so, I still intend to put as much effort as I can into this challenge - I decided I'd do it and by god no one's going to tell me otherwise ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ. At this point, I have a few small windows for great progress (right now and the last few days of the year), as well as some potential to squeeze a little bit through during travel. I've noticed that in the past there have been 24-hour challenges here; it's quite possible that my posting patterns may end up looking like that. That or I just burn out here...
Well, we'll see.
Meanwhile, it's always pretty fun to watch everyone else's work and selection patterns. Glad you all seem to be more focused than I am のヮの
Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
I've...I've fallen too far behind...!
Y did I choose these songs

Well, there are three days of the month left, so it's a little late to sign up. You would also need to take the translation test first.
Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
Also, everyone, I'm so sorry for the backlog; I have a sinus infection and it's been ruining my ability to get anything done. Now that I have antibiotics and am starting to pull myself together, I'll try to get on top of the submissions queue and the corrections I've been PMed in the next 24 hours. While also trying to not fail quite so badly at my own translation goal. Ha ha. Wish me luck.
Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
Are we all going to fail miserably this year? My PC blew up and I had to reinstall Windows, and now I can't find some of the songs I was working on. Hopefully they're on my laptop.......
Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
Okay, the challenge is officially over for me! Also Happy New Year, guys.
Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
Hm, at this point, I technically have six hours left, but I think my chance of productivity is gone. (´；ω；｀) At any rate, I seriously doubt I'll be getting ~30 songs done in six hours, so I am forced to acknowledge miserable failure.
If only certain people hadn't decided it was a good idea to ruin my month due to reckless indifference to the possibility that I had plans of my own for the course my life...
Travel was a bit more taxing on me than I'd hoped, so I just ended up lazing around in recuperation for the past few days. That I did know about in advance, so I probably should have planned better for that. Oops.
Well, looks like the rest of you are doing quite well now, but good luck! ヽ( ≧ω≦)ﾉ
Re: NaAniTraMo '16 Participation Thread
Well, it looks like @Rei is this year's only winner. Congrats, Rei! Your "prize" will be along shortly. For everyone else, better luck next time! (I, for one, am going to try to finish up the rest of the songs on my CS list over the next several days in an effort to save some face.)
