Aly Michele - Freelance Editor
I'm a freelance editor, specializing in localization for games, visual novels, and other assorted entertainment media. In addition to my editing work, I also have experience in LQA.

I'm Aly! Most of what I do here is yap about video games, especially RPGs and otome VNs. And yap in general.
I'm extremely passionate about localization, and I chase that passion as a freelance editor when not inundated by my boring day job.

i've seen some people on reddit say this happened to them, so i'm wondering how widespread the issue is that amiami is already aware of it

currently manifesting some loc editing work for 2026... I haven't been very proactive because, y'know, the state of everything is rough and other people need that work more than I do financially.
but it's work I love so much, so I'm just hoping some opportunities will pop up...
