Um. This scanlation joint has nothing to do with Jamie, except for the part where they stole the title from her site. Which is a bit tacky, if you ask me.

Also the scanlations are pretty awful, not to mention pointless.

Also they seem to be calling Fay "Fai," which makes them sad kids.

Augh!! I am becoming vexed! Terribly, terribly vexed!

How can people be this stupid? Every day, it seems that CLAMP fans are making extraordinary innovations in this field. I'd think you'd have to be putting in nine, ten hours a day to achieve that level of blatant idiocy.

KATAKANA = phonetic pronunciation of word!!!, NOT
KATAKANA = spelling of word!!!

Also, I don't know what I have to say to these clinically retarded fanzes who think that their translated commercial editions are "official." There is nothing official about any versions of TRC, other than those published by CLAMP, in Japan. The rest are reproductions, of varying skill and quality. Just because a publisher has legal distribution rights, that doesn't mean that its publications have supremacy over the source material, for God's sake! THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED "SOURCE MATERIAL." AUGH. IT HURTS ME REALLY BAD IN MY HEAD.

Anyway. Many European fans spell Fay's name wrong, I've noticed. As far as I've heard, commercial manga translations published in Europe are generally much better than their American counterparts, but I guess the name games are the same, no matter what country you're in. I just feel like, if you're proactive enough to join a comm which centers around a series, or to make scanlations of that series, or to make a website for it, or anything like that, you should be proactive enough to determine if you're spelling the characters' names right.

Anyway. Whatever. I tried editing the Wiki, too. I made everything "Fay," and added that Del Rey still hasn't corrected their spelling, but I stopped there, since the rest of the content was so far beneath contempt that editing it would've been a waste of even my time. Let's see how long it lasts. Two, three days, I'm betting.

[EDIT: Some illiterate ass has changed it all to "Fye," since the day before yesterday. I'm going to visit every day and change it back, if I have to. Classless retards must not be allowed to triumph in all sectors of life.]
