Hello!
I am new to the forum, but I have been enjoying many fan translations over the years.
I often want to contribute money back to the translators, or crowdfund new translation projects, but no such platform exists. I could only find one such project on Kickstarter. :-(
I've been thinking about creating such a website, a Kickstarter for fan translations, where you can either donate to work-in-progress projects or suggest new ones.
The money would be sent directly to the translators via PayPal or Bitcoin. The site itself would be driven by donations and possibly relevant ads (although I'd try to steer away from that).
I would love to hear the opinions of fan translators and possible supporters of fan translations. Is this a good idea? What would you do differently?
Thank you very much for your attention.
PS. The site could also be used to crowdfund rom hacks.
