a seemingly related chain of actually unrelated fannishness

♥ I used to get a lot of requests from fans who wanted to translate my fic. This has diminished with my diminishing output (and my departure from the big multinational fandom of Harry Potter), but I got two requests right around the end of the year, and here are the results: Elga Velkilova has translated my Angst/Romance anthropomorfic The ( Read more... )

I finished and posted my festivid!

Yayayay! Go you!

Hee, I love that icon! I decided to only vid SOME of the things, though. :-)

Wow, what an absolutely fantastic thing to run! How has this passed me by all these years?? You awe.

As in the verb: to awe. ;-)

At a guess, it passed you by because you're not in any of those fandoms! But it's a marvelous fest. I actually started doing it in HP, inspired by a postcardathon for "SciFi Friday" shows. I suppose any fandom with multiple popular pairings, or any set of related fandoms, would make a good candidate for something like this; it would be a lot less interesting in a fandom where everyone's only interested in a single character or OTP.

I still get requests to translate my fics and it's the most amazing flattery, innit?

It totally is!

Oh, I love getting translated! And I get this secret sense of GLEE averytime I get spam in my spam folder in one of those langauges.

isiscolo January 6 2011, 01:24:13 UTC

Hee, I am mystified by your GLEE. I get a lot of foreign-language spam!

(and, thanks for your help on the vid! I think I was able to address most of your concerns and make it bettah!)

Cool - the vid was already pretty damn awesome! I like the spam because I only started gettign spam in each language when my work was translated and posted in those forums, boards, whatever it is. And the stories are linked back to my email. So everytime I get spam in one of those 3 languages, it's like the world's strangest feedback.

Oh, I get it, now! Alas, most of my foreign spam is to my work email address. I have no idea how I got onto a Hungarian (?) list...
