Favours (poking and help with non-English phrases)?
So, assuming anyone can SEE this, with all the DDoS stuff going on the last few days, I have two brief favours to ask! Both are actually related to the same thing (a particular fic). If anyone can help, I would HUGELY appreciate it!
1) Anyone willing to kick my ass/pester me/word war tomorrow (Monday, 10:30am EST until at least 8:00pm EST), to make sure I get something -- anything -- written on this fic? (Also, if anyone wanted to send good "figure out the first f$#@%ing scene so I can write the others in my head, since I cannot write out of order" vibes, that'd be most excellent!) Pinging via Twitter's best, but gchat's also good (if you have that address), and I have my own personal chatzy room I use for word wars/fic plotting/details help, with friends from multiple fandoms--if you want that option, or need some of that for yourself, feel free to comment, and I can PM you the link and we can figure out a time that works for both of us). What I'm hoping to work on tomorrow most of all is an Inception fic, but Word Wars rely not on such details!
2) Related to that fic (and, um, sorry if it's a weird request): Anyone know any curse words and/or insults and/or words for foods in languages other than English? Any language will do, but extra-special bonus points for those in a language that might be heard in ANY sort of "ethnic" restaurant in the US: Greek, Japanese, Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin, I suppose?), Vietnamese, Korean, Indian, most any Middle Eastern language (actually, most any Asian language, too), Ethiopian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Yiddish, etc.? Also French. I might actually need a few specific (short) phrases translated into French within the next couple of weeks (a sentence in length at most, though there might be a couple). If you can help, would you mind commenting with the word/phrase (English and other language) and let me know which language it's in? If you're not comfortable showing off your prowess at swearing, a PM or email would also be spectactuar. You can send an email to either khasael[at]gmail[dot]com, or to my other address, if you have it.
RL's been hectic (when has it NOT, right?), but I'm hoping to finish cranking out a few more fics and such, and after doing that and surviving the holiday season at work, things should calm down SIGNIFICANTLY, woo! Hopefully, I can catch up on LJ the way I used to be at that point (and stay on top of it)!
♥ to you all!
