Хм, интересно, нужен ли здесь тег [/sarcarm]… 

[greeting redacted]

Could you send us some sample pages of what you had been posting? We didn't get a chance to see any of it before the take-down notice (which was handled by the media company who handles all of our advertising).

It may be possible for us to come up with a better solution.

Regards,

Thank you for sending those along.

I'll sit down with the Foglios, and see what ideas we can come up with. I can't promise a quick solution, though - they're just about to leave for the San Diego Comic Con, so things are somewhat hectic at the moment.

Could you tell us a bit more about who acomics.ru are? What sort of platform that is, and what types of content they carry?

Also, would you be open to a solution that hosted the content somewhere else? I'm concerned in case there isn't a way to work with acomics.ru that doesn't step on our current media representation.

Thanks,

Спрашивают, рассматриваю ли я возможность хостить перевод где-то еще если с АК не удастся договориться.

Вопрос с подвохом?

a way to work with acomics.ru that doesn't step on our current media representation.

a way to work with acomics.ru that doesn't step on our current media representation.

Кроме того, насколько я понимаю, такой тон все равно лучше, чем то, что АК слышал от Hiveworks.

...Для того, чтобы "больше" не работать, нужно сначала работать. Они пока ни в каких отношениях не состоят.

Не указано абсолютно ничего конкретно. "Если получится, то получится, а если не получится, то не получится".

Duke, мне видится, что под словом "work" они имели в виду не только сами по себе правоотношения, но и переговоры между АК и ХВ в целях создания таких правоотношений: типа, мы боимся, что даже договориться не сумеем, потому, либо "АК соглашается на наши условия, либо с АК мы больше не работаем *в том числе, над поиском консенсуса по вопросу публикации перевода*".
Из тех выдержек, что ты привел, ХВ, на мой взгляд, рассматривает только один вариант, и тот, не в пользу АК.

I'm working with the Foglios and our media company, and we've got a suggestion that I hope might be acceptable all the way around.

We would like to set up and host a set of pages at girlgeniusonline-related URLs where you, and other fan-translators, could post translations and translated pages. And we would be happy to provide a "Girl Genius fan-translation" graphic that you could post to other sites such as acomics.ru with links, letting people know where to find the translation when it's set up.

This could be done fairly quickly - our media company has been working closely with us on updating our main site, and we think we could implement this very soon.

We do see the value of making translations available, and truly what we're up against is keeping our trademarks and copyrights protected under US law. If translations are posted on a site we run, we won't run the risk of losing the rights to our creations.

I think approaching it this way will keep everything straightforward. If it sounds agreeable, please let me know. Also, how many pages do you currently have that could be reposted?
