Looking for a European distro

Hey all,

So, when we started TIP we had a lot more members. Over the years it's narrowed down to mostly just Gen and I (Jen), and fabulous part-time contributors. But that means Gen and I have been doing distro non-stop for... a long time. And we're a bit burnt out. We've talked about just closing down TIP, since it's entire purpose was really to introduce new fans to Takarazuka, and to be honest YouTube made us obsolete long ago (not to mention the proliferation of social media). But many of you ladies (and gents) have been very sweet over the years and even recently have spoken up about wanting us to continue, so we're going to continue for a little longer at least. But it would help if we had others helping with distro. And it would help the crazy shipping costs if we had someone in Europe. Is there anyone who would be willing to take up the distro? You would need an ability to burn DVD discs, to be able to receive money through PayPal, to get to the post office fairly regularly, and to be very patient. XD

Let us know.

Thanks,
Jen

Apologies for the shady empty LJ account, I made this account specifically to comment on this post.

I'd be happy to volunteer myself for European distro! I am in the UK though, so if you were hoping for somebody in mainland Europe I might not be ideal. I can also deal in both English and French.

I've got some past experience as a shopping service and I've moderated some online communities and stuff, so I reckon I have the patience part down haha. My post office is very near by and I've got a functioning standard Paypal account, I'm assuming you don't need a business Paypal account for this sort of stuff. I can also burn DVDs.

Hey, thanks for replying! Do you have any other social media account? I just want to doublecheck that someone knows you... Just since the LJ is a new account. :)

Hey, she's been following me on tumblr (same name) for a while and she commented when I shared this post. She's also come to some of my streams. I don't know her personally but I can vouch for her that much at least!

Ah, ok! I knew I'd seen the name on tumblr, but, well, fairly common Zuka term so I didn't want to assume.

I'm takarasienne.tumblr.com over on Tumblr if that's any help? ~

Volunteering from Germany

Dear all,
I'd like to volunteer as well, if you are still looking for someone or another one. Sadly, I've been mostly a lurker over the years ... but I've ordered and enjoyed some of your fansubs myself! I live in Germany - don't know if that's good or bad for shipping ...
Best,
Andrea
