Mad props to musegaarid for starting a meme I can get behind...
So, I just noticed I haven't posted in my personal journal since HBP came out. Weird, eh?
Anyway. Le meme:
Here's the deal. Take one of your posted fics and use Google's translator or Babelfish to translate it into the language of your choice and then back into English. Pick out the best line(s) of the new story and write a drabble. Post your drabble on your journal and tag five friends to do the same.
Bits of my GO fic for last year's antichristmas challenge, translated using babelfish...
English to French to English:
But Crowley being not listening, to be to give the attack to above where the radio operator being remplier on a rack in behind the corner to far be to cover in dust; rare Aziraphale to employ, except when the odd one to push for some Puccini capacity being to achieve by absent to undulate its hand makes of it.
"To know you what this being?" to require Aziraphale.
The angel to incline its head pensive, listening like the first disaster twists to reverse above the part. "A little odd sounding, to be not? Berlioz, perhaps?"
"The fantastic fucking symphony," Crowley statement desperately, managing to make noise like if that to be to be to work it suitable title all these year. "This to have to be in Bentley for three week now. Three week! By straight duty being bloody mercury of Freddie hearing in this very different moment."
Mercury of Freddie? Right, I think he's the one who wrote the fantastic fucking symphony...
English to Dutch to English:
"Rather nice young people, really... my bests, for which you are die?"
"Already the knowledge in the universe too his arrangement, and going the young young she-goat to school."
The young young she-goat would be Adam, actually.
And finally, from English to Dutch to French to English (oh, I'm a rebel, I am):
"Well. Oh. And what you did.... Approximately him?"
"I did not do anything. Belief or not, them anything in the good small Demon's handbook to remake what to contain the offspring of the match snogs you at this time only I leaves... it. It was final painfully free and free in a precipitation."
"Bad the best."
"Oh, am already me it right. Another drink I could use, although."
As much as I'd like to read the good small Demon's handbook, my favorite part is where Crowley turns into Yoda there at the end.
Anyway, I have no idea who'll read this, so how 'bout just any five of you that want to go for it? :D
