I've just read the first chapter, and it is pretty genius, actually. You should be very proud.

I am so pleased to hear you say this!

I rather suspected as much after running the text through some Machint Translation software I had around the place, and seeing what sort of structure and vocabulary the writer was probably using... but MT is very much a guidline only - it can only translate according to formulae as it doesn't have a brain and hence no actual understanding or appreciation of what it reads - certainly no substitute for a human being's understanding.

Shiny! I wish my Russian had advanced beyond the not-exactly-dizzy heights of being able to say 'priviet' and 'spasiba'...

[dolorous_ett]

Isn't it shiny and gorgeous? And if I'd just studied Russian instead of the things I ended up doing... well, I'd be a completely different person, but at least I'd be able to appreciate the story properly...

(Russian really was an option for a while. But you can't have everything.)

Isn't it COOL? I told you you'd be delighted! :D

[dolorous_ett]

You told me, and you were quite right - it IS SO COOL.

It means nothing to me, but it looks fab. I have just received the same request (same person) for "What If My Baby is a Squib"; given your success I shall be accepting with thanks.

If the Ravenclaw translation is anything to go by, dar_se_cuenta is good news. Congrats!

[aerama]

That's fabulous!!

[dolorous_ett]

I'm chuffed, anyway...

(nice icon, by the way!)
