Without your touch, chapter 1

[tharileon]

Downton Abbey, Anna/Bates.
Rating: T.
Spoilers up to chapter 2x08.

This is my first fanfic so far, and english is not my language so, paraphrasing Anna's words, this will be really an adventure. I love these two characters and their love story, so I've tried to imagine what will happen to them until Christmas. If you have not watched the episode 2x08

Thank you very much. I enjoy your stories very much, yours and PBCD are my favourites, I think.
I tried to make explicit scenes... but I couldn't. I write it first in spanish and then I translate it. Sex sounds stronger in spanish than in english, I think (or maybe our own language makes things real, and another language makes them fiction).
I'll try to post next chapter this week. I appreciate your critics and encouragement!

Well, about reading in other languages... I remember reading some very explicit fanfic about Battlestar Galactica a couple of years ago. I liked it very much and I began to translate it for myself. It sounded so... wrong! I had to leave that idea.

Wonderful first fic! :-)

I really liked this- intimate without needing so many words. :-)

I'm always awed by people who can write so well in a language not their own- bravo!
We expect more from you now! ;-)

One query- I realise it's a translation thing, but what do you mean by "Look, you have to drop also these hooves on the front"? :-)

[tharileon]

Thank you! I've tried my best :)

The sentence you say was wrong. I didnt know how to say the exact word in english, so I asked google... bad idea. So I've put an easier sentence: "Look, you also have to undo these clips on the front."

I appreciate very much this kind of corrections, I really need them.

Next chapter in some days :)

Ahhhhhh, that makes more sense. I figured it was something about fasteners, but wasn't sure. ;-)

Yeah, google and babelfish and such are good...up to a point! ;-)

[tharileon]

Thanks to you for reading it!
I've tried to write them in-character. I also want characters like Mrs. Hughes in it. Im sure she knew... Some things are writen in our face when we do them :)

Umm... Hi! I'm not sure where you came from but, would you mind using an lj-cut for your fics? Spoiler risk ahead! xD

[tharileon]

¡Prima! ¿No ves que arriba pone bien grande Spoilers up to chapter 2x08?
Las fic estaban detrás de un Cut las dos, que funcionó un día y al día siguiente no funcionaban. Lo volveré a intentar. Pero vamos, que lo primero que pone son los spoilers :D
