While I can't help you with finding the fic, as I've only ever read the one DxD fic, we do have a fic search thread.

It's more of a political issue, IE "I don't want to work with the guys working on Madocant".
Of course, I also should've guessed this before, but I'm annoyed in part because I do think the prices for sale purposes won't be good and I doubt I can get hired there in time, so I also expect not-as-good-quality for the translation work necessarily...

Oh hey. I was right.
But nevermind that. I managed to go to the con where Yuu Kamiya would talk about the series. Sadly stuff happened and I don't exactly remember all of it [and I missed the second one because they didn't allow ANYONE inside], so I'll just quote translate what I can.
-Yuu Kamiya is a pretty cool guy, would rather be called Thiago rather than -sensei or -san. Even so, they didn't want photos taken because Japanese folk don't like that stuff, so I couldn't record anything...
-He's not that good at Portuguese... example: he doesn't play games, he 'makes' games.
-The series' inspiration comes from years ago. One of his illustrators didn't like drawing fights, so when he was thinking up a fantasy setting, the complaint made him think. "K, a fantasy setting without fights."
-Sora is almost a Kamiya self-insert, with the same personality type and all, though he only admitted to us because if the Japanese found out they'd think he's really selfish or something. Meanwhile Shiro exists because Kamiya really wanted to have someone to take care of his own weaknesses. That's why there's so much emphasis in "they're both Kuuhaku".
-He loved what Madhouse did to the series. The female director had a good eye, could tell what was color and what was not, very well.
-Inspiration animes include Evangelion and two more I can't remember now... his favorite game is Armored Core, but since it's not popular over here, he talked about Skyrim. He spent 72 days-I mean, hours-nonstop playing.
-If NGNL were a game, he'd like it to be like Skyrim, but they don't have resources for such a game, so...
-Sometimes he does that thing of overworking to the point of hospitalization [he needed to come to Brasil during this period, and even wrote NGNL since he couldn't draw], but not to the point of Eichiiro Oda, who he called superhuman/not human.
-He doesn't think much about his popularity in Brasil or anywhere. As long as people like his work, that's good enough to him.
-Unlike the guys who keep the animated adaptation under his control or the guys who are very laissez-faire, he had a very casual relationship with the studio, they basically kept on playing around and shooting the crap and all. It was Madhouse who did some stuff like Stephs' grampa be like a deck's King, or Steph being naked.
-Kamiya and Hiiragi [the artist] keep fiddling on each other's work rather than a proper division, but some of the manga art is quite distinctive from the rest of it. Another point: the color and style of the series are like these PRECISELY because he realized nobody else was doing anything like it.
Also, official name: Chrammy Zell.
...and gods, I'm SO lucky neither version was stolen from me yesterday...

Just to add a word, since I was missing from TFF for over a year due to lack of internet, since I moved out of my parents home... XD
Anyway, am following the following light/web novels:
1) Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (As mentioned previous posts)
2) Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka (Which recently was being licensed)
3) Konjiki no Wordmaster
4) Overlord
5) The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (My favourite right now.)

Zero no Tsukaima light novel will be continued.
Apparently fans have been asking if it'll be resumed, and it looks like the answer is yes. The author dictated the remainder of the plotline, including its ending, from his sickbed, and his family is of the belief that it should be completed.

Spice and Wolf has taken 5 years to be translated.
Volume 17 coming out on April 19, 2016 from Yen was released on July 10, 2011
So yeah..
The only way around this at the moment is for B/T's servers be located to a country where DMCA's are not enforced. Which at this stage seems highly unlikely. At the moment they are in the USA.

Just finished SAOP 1. The expansion on things really improves it. It's like 10x better than the first novel, just because he can actually take his time. I mean, it mostly just covers the from the first-floor boss fight to the second-floor one and the book is like 100 pages longer than the original book, which covered all of SAO (except for the side stories). A lot more detail on game mechanics, too, I never even knew about skill options like Quick-Change.
Talking about SAO, just finished the new book in his new Series called the Isolator which has an official translation. It's basically a pretty basic super hero story, but I liked it since it reminded me of Accel World in some places, specially in the MC. The novel surprisingly likes to spend a lot of time with the villains, which was a nice change of pace from say how SAO originally did it, and I like how the MC doesn't feel as perfect as Kirito did back in the day. Having our hero be limited to a power that only protects him forces him to be creative in his fights. Even though it's not something to the level of Jojo, I loved reading about how the hero and the villain were constantly thinking about how to beat each other.
Like I said before the MC reminds me of Haru from Accel World, and I hope that fighting as a hero from here on out will help him get over his depression and forget about his goal of basically erasing everybody's memories of him. I guess I kind of like that, right now the MC is not that heroic, but one day he might become one with the help of others.
I guess in the end the Isolator was a nice LN, a nice replacement for Anti-Magic Academy which got DMCA-ed and thus won't get its last two volumes translated ever. Really why did they have to kill my favorite LN just when it had gotten a horrible anime adaptation, just thinking about it makes me feel depressed.
