Huh.
So, anyone else get an email from Digital Manga about their new Digital Manga Guild? Looks like they're trying to crowdsource from scanlator groups, and are asking people to sign up and take a test to become (legal) translators, editors, and letterers for them. And you can sign up as an individual or a group, so it looks like they're trying to take advantage of established scanlating groups.
I note that you are paid on sales and not per work item, so the chance of much actual profit is low, low, low, unless you luck into a bestselling project, but it's an interesting idea.

Of course, I'm confused as to how they got my email but.

I figure I'm on so many manga-related mailing lists that there's no telling where they got it. XD

This. They sent it to my personal email, which baffles me because it's not one I give out to people I don't personally know. o__o

I have no recollection of that website... (and I never sign up for forums with my personal email either). The only places I use this email are here on Dwth, my LJ, my deviantArt, and my Artician accounts, which shouldn't ever release that info to 3rd parties.
Oh, and a bunch of colleges probably have it from my application phase back in 2009.

If it's not that email, then I have no idea, unless DA's taken to selling mailing lists (which I wouldn't put past them; I haven't looked at their ToS lately.))

I wouldn't put it past them either. :/

p.p.s. off-topic (unless you count scanlations): Korean webcomics! Much with the scrolling and the full color. I like the hands and facial expressions of Cheese in the Trap

Re: Korean webcomics: nifty! And is it a Korean Thing to draw everyone with really big hands? I noticed that in the manhwa I have, but didn't know if that was a publisher's house style or what.
ETA: Aaaaand after I post that, I go and randomly clicked on a comic where everyone has small hands. XD
