Um, I'm going to be all n00b on you and post the question that's been bugging me for a while now. There are some fansub groups or similar interested in translating drama CDs, right? If I'm wrong, just tell me and I'll quit. Only if I'm right, I just got the FAKE: -Final Act- drama CD for Christmas and I only know the odd word of Japanese. It's an entertaining listen for me and I can get an idea of what's going on, but I can't help thinking that it would be better with subtitles or something.

Again, I'm none too sure about the exact nature of 'raws' but I have the CD ripped to my computer; would anybody would be interested? I very much doubt it's licensed in the US.
I don't know if this is the right forum for my question. If not, feel free to move it. ^_^'

I've heard of interest in subbing Drama CDs before, but it almost never happens. I'm afraid that I only know of two Drama CDs that were ever subtitled. It is a terrible shame that there aren't more. For a little while some people were talking of subbing the Mai-HiME Drama CDs and while a member posted scripts on our site, nobody ever got serious about subbing them.

In case you're curious, there are two fansubbed drama CDs listed on AnimeSuki.

Evangelion Audio Drama
Twelve Kingdoms Drama CD

Thanks very much for your help. ^_^ It was the Evangelion audio drama that bought my attention to the potential usefulness of my CD- I just downloaded it, and although I'm away from home right now, the bit I had time to watch seemed really good. I think something like that would work very well with FAKE, which is pretty much character based, but if it's not really something fansub groups are interested in doing, I won't press the matter.
