*is a huge fan of keeping all the honorifics intact* ^^ I'm less hung up on titles, but generally I like having them kept unless there's an explicit, obvious English equivalent.

I'm more flexible on the sfx - sometimes, there's just no space for them. But I like honorifics to be kept. And titles, where possible. After all, this is something translated we're reading, and the original is set in a different time & culture - there's no need to make it more acceptable to our usage.

(Yes, Ginny is opinionated. *hides*)

i prefer original suffixes with side-note on their meaning ^_^
wai *squeals* Shadow-sama is doing scanlations of kokumono!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to know what does sfx stand for?
(I've seen it in some scanlations)
does it mean the same as suffixes?
thanks

I really, really prefer to have the honorifics kept intact. It always interests me to know who uses them and how. I'm much less adamant about the titles, but I like them intact as well whenever possible. I like to see the Japanese for the sfx, but the little translation is nice.

I like to see honorifics kept intact, since different characters use different ones when referring to the same person, makes an interesting note on relationships. If titles have a direct English equivolent, then sure, but some don't.. like Ojou-sama isn't exactly a princess, more like a "Young Miss from a Rich/Elite Family".. which is too darned long, so make a translator's note to the side and then keep using "Ojou" when it comes up. SFX i like seeing a note with romanization at least, a translation if one's available.

you took a wee vacation to japan?

i still need to go. not to mention, i still need to save up and apply to teach there, hopfully will be ready to apply by jan/feb next year.

can't wait for you to scanlate the manga! ^_____________^
