One of my fics is translated into German!

[khalulu]

I am utterly thrilled, delighted, honored and grateful that the talented and generous phonixfeder has translated my H/D fic Abraxan Wings into German, and begun posting it here! And it even has reviews already! The first one is from someone who works in a hospital with people with injuries similar to the one Draco sustained, which makes me hope I represented it properly. (I put the review through an on-line machine translation because I was so curious and impatient to read it. Computer translators give a general idea of the content but also make you realize how truly necessary it is to have a human being to really do translation well!)

It makes me so happy that someone liked my fic enough to do this labor of love. Thank you so much, phonixfeder! I love trying to cross language barriers in my own life but this is not one I could have crossed on my own. And I'm so glad to have new readers for the fic.

Meanwhile I have very much enjoyed reading in dm_asp_fest and now in hd_fan_fair - I have a fic in Career Fair this year, I'm happy to say. Wishing now that I'd found a way to Britpick the spelling more consistently, but oh well....

Congrats, my dear. That is very exciting.

Congratulations, sweet! All five reviews so far are glowing, both for your story and phonix's translation. *hugs*

Hello,

I had fun and enjoyed to translate your nice story! It is so wonderful and magical. And German readers like them very much.

I have to thank you.

Is your fanfiction for 'Career Fair' already online?

Greetings Sonja.

Yay!!! That is such exciting news. If I ever get the urge to polish up my German again (which, you never know!) I would absolutely start with fic. (I had to pass doctoral exams at the level of reading academic articles, but that was a thousand years ago so I can't be of any actual help with translating your [glowing!] reviews). *\o/*
