    Hello, everyone!

    This is Elestrea from Chrysanthemum Garden and this will be our long-term thread for recruitment, so make sure to check out often! If you are interested or have any questions, you can just comment in this thread, start a conversation, or DM @Baby System on CG Discord!

    Please note that we respond much faster on Discord.

    ---

    Our group is BL-oriented and we're looking for a whole bunch of people to join our team as our projects keep growing and we need a bit of editing/re-writing help. A list of the currently available projects can be seen at the bottom of this post.

    Translators & Co-Translators:
    Please apply through the recruitment form on the website:
    https://chrysanthemumgarden.com/recruitment/
    If you're accepted, someone will be in touch.

    Note: Novels that have stopped updating for a month and are looking for main translators (which essentially means that it was dropped for whatever reason), can be considered up for grabs. If you are a translator who would like to pick up where the novel stopped and continue translating it elsewhere rather than join the CG team, please DM @xiin#7890

    Editors, Proofreaders & Translation Checkers:
    You will need to DM on discord the main translator for the project directly to apply!!
    Copy & paste this form and send it directly to the main translator via DMs:
    • Hi, I'd like to apply to join your project!
    • Name:
    • Novel:

    Can I help in editing or proofreading? I can do 2-3 chapters a week. I'm not a native English speaker, but I usually helped my friends editing their english papers and in making their speech. I'm very interested in this WN and also in supporting male lead!

    Hello! Yes, SD is currently not looking for any editors but we're still looking for another one for Trash Bin, or you can try applying as a backup/proofreader :blobsmirk:

    Hi, I'm interested in being either an editor or proof reader for Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From The Trash Bin. Although I don't have any experience as an editor or proof reader, I'm a native English speaker and I'm currently doing a Bsc in English and Llb Law degree. I'd like to help in any way I can.

    I'm interested in being a proofreader, I'm a native English speaker, currently learning Korean (Intermediate), I can do approximately 20 hours a week and I used to help someone proofread Just Friend's on novelupdates. I'd prefer to work on ever since I take home an adonis who lost his business but I like Don't pick up boyfriends from the trash too @Cat_the_axe a. My discord id is WitchQueen#2178

    1. How many hours/chapters a week can you commit? I have summer break from college until the beginning of September, so I am free to do as many chapters I could. After, when school starts, I may only have time to do one chapter a week.
    2. Are you a native English speaker? I would say English is somewhat my native language, and I have been living here in the US for almost 15 years.
    3. Do you have any editing/proofreading experience? I edited assignments for the student in my university Law Department.
    4. Which projects are you interested in or anything is fine? I don't mind being the editor or backup editor for "Don’t Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin" or anything in general.
