I'm not saying your colour scheme is bad, I'm just saying that links don't stand out very well. XD
How was the Italian translation of A Clockwork Orange? In Poland it was released in three versions thus far. The first one simply replaced the distorted Russian-like words of the original with equally distorted English-like words in a purely mechanical fashion. The second version, done by another person, pretty much reinvented the language of the book from the ground up - the translator focused on how would such a slang form in Polish under the influence of Russian; frankly speaking, this version of Nadsat makes much more sense than the original. And finally the third version was done by the same person who did the second one, except this time the slang was influenced by English. There was some mention of another translation, this time German-oriented, but so far nothing has surfaced. Personally I've read the second version (the R-version) twice so far and I must say I'm really impressed by the translation.
Just because I like certain things doesn't mean I care about fandoms surrounding them. :D
--I don't know which version I read and how many vrsion there are in Italian, but I found the "made-up" language kinda fun XD I remember that at first I couldn't understand what the fuck they were saying but after a few pages it really became easy to figure out ^o^ ...To make an actual talk about the translation I should read the one in English-- And then the Italian version again, 'cause I remember very little of it right now XD
--But fandom doesn't really relate to the people who like that series, but also and expecially to the series itself :3 Also, I can't believe that you don't have a favourite pairing from any of the thousand books/movies you've read!!
Same here - at first I needed some 10 minutes to read one page, but it quickly became surprisingly easy. Horrorshow, I tell you! XD
Seems we have differing definitions of "fandom" - I always understood it as "everything else". But if I were to go with your meaning and just come up with some stuff I like, again I'd be hard-pressed to pick. For me it's always like asking about my favourite sand grain on snow flake.
I truly and honestly don't give a flying fuck about pairings! XD
Yep! well, it's a fun read also because of that ^_^
Lol, looks like you're right: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fandom ;3; --But if that's so I don't have any XD ? I have pretty much bad relationships with the "fandoms" of my favourite "series" XD
WHAT?! And what about the creativity involved in the plotting of new relationships and the serene contemplation of the existing ones?!! --AND THE UTTER DISGUST FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO REASON TO EXIST?!!!! ...Men truly live miserable lifes, then D:
It's a gripping story of two Latino lovers, Jose and Maria, who struggle with their feeling towards one another; there's love, sex, violence and perversion, all the good stuff! XD

I read a Clockwork Orange when I was in High School after I watched the movie! I liked it!
--But now that I read "Litchi Hikari Club", it pales XD
--But you have fandoms! Like Predator, The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Star Trek XD !!!
♥!!

What can I say, whether or not one character ends up with another has absolutely no bearing on the quality of my life. XD

But even from a fan's standpoint I can't see how pairings can ever be relevant to anything.

Tell Romeo&Juliet that pairings are not relevant to anything XDD
