Cool stuff!

Wow! My very first fan translations!

West of the Moon, East of the Sun has been translated into Chinese, and Until the Stars are All Alight has been translated into Chinese and Russian!


ETA: Where the Shadows Are has also been translated into Chinese!

Thanks so much to [livejournal.com profile] fatum_sts, and to my Russian translators who must remain nameless, as these works are part of a larger translation contest that is still ongoing.

I think that's absolutely bloody brilliant! I love the thought of people being able to read your stories in their native language! \0/

I'm both floored and flattered that someone would go through all that time and effort! :D

Thank you! I'm so flattered that people took the time to do this! I also like the idea of fanworks evolving in new ways...Transformative works, indeed!

Congrats!

BTW, we need to touch base on that beta project you asked me about doing...is it still on? PM me and let me know. :)

It's moving....slowwwwly. I have put the prologue absolutely through the wringer and am really happy with it, but I'm wondering if I should hold off until I've gotten a little further along so I don't have to go back and retroactively change anything.

I'm also attempting to work more systematically-- I've got a ridiculous spreadsheet which outlines every single scene. Tedious as hell, but it also breaks it out into more digestible bits. I don't have to write a whole *chapter,* just a single scene. But that also means I'm writing some scenes out of order as the whim strikes me, and they're rather useless out of context. All of this is a giant new learning curve for me, but hopefully one that will pay off.

Eventually.

Very, very, very eventually.

Writing is hard, dammit! I'm glad I was so ignorant of this fact when I started out or I never would have put pen to paper, so to speak. :P

Wow! Congratulations that is really exciting. You deserve to be read in multiple languages!

I just love that it keeps with the idea of "transformative works." This is the sort of thing that just makes me love fandom.
