I think I'm going to enter a Manga contest...maybe if I win I can go to Japan and get my hands on some Microman Doujinshi...:D Though if any of my friends win I'd give them the money to buy me some Microman Doujinshi... Though I don't think I draw all that well to win..*sigh* You do have to be a member of the academy which is free, but I'm not sure what that entails...there's not a lot of info actually available on the website...
Of course if you win you have no say about who gets to publish your work and no money off of it if they get money from it....which I hate always....

I'm doomed.....

I can't even thank someone properly.... BAH! T_T

The story:
I sent a note to Minato N. about her missing images she lost in a crash or something, translated by a "friend"
She posts an Oekaki on my BBS telling me (I assume by the online translation thingy) that she couldn't read a word of it..T_T *sob1*
Well, naturally I don't care all that much (really I do care very much..god I look like a fool now) and thank her anyways for the pic and using the magic of machine translation..I even go so far as to make sure the damn thing spits back the right (english) phrase...I also send her an e-mail..
Days pass....
Well, damn (I think) I'll thank her the best way I know how...I'll draw her a Thank You picture on HER BBS! *smiles all around*
Draw and post it with an English/Machine Japanese translation (also done to english spec spitting back...)
a day passes....
She responds! *smiles all around :D* I understand ONE word she wrote and that's the kanji for Japanese. *smile freezes* I translate the stuff in yes t"The Machine" TWO different machine who give TWO similar but different translations...
"Japanese it is not understood, is, don't you think?"
"There is nothing from Japanese"
*sob2*
My understanding of that crptic phrase is that again the machine has failed me...

I think I'll quit.....
