Free-For-All Friday

[geraineon]

Time for free for all Friday, a day for random chit-chat!

Do you want to talk about the other novels you are reading or find a read-along partner? Practice your Chinese? Request for fics? Ask for beta readers? Just talk about your day?

Go right ahead!

A lot of these are still cnovel related but:

1) I was going to rant about how hard scanlating is - what do you mean I have to write AND think about the shape of the text?). As usual I've gotten distracted and given up (though I really want to share this comic, it's very gender and atmospheric), but I'd like to express my deep admiration to anyone who does any kind of text-based translation, it's really not for everyone.

2) A radio version of Ya She 哑舍 is trending on Maoer/Missevan right now! It starts out a bit differently from the donghua (the first case is the antique mirror case). The style is full-cast dialogue with narration, so closer to an audiobook, and presumably more faithful to the original world.

2) Wingspan Asian Expansion is out!!!!!!!!!!!! I still don't understand this game but I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing Asian birds.

What comic are you thinking of translating? I suppose if it might be easier to ... summarize the pages?

Ohh, radio! ... I really need to work on porting Maoer to my new phone orz

I'm very happy there's an Asian expansion for wingspan~

A oneshot from the 青春18X2 anthology (from what I tell, it has no connection with the movie/novel of the same name but I have neither seen nor read either of those). It's one of two stories that had queer themes. The other one was meh, but this one continues to come back to me now and then, the vibes were really vibing.

I just played with the Asian expansion and it made me SO happy omg. I did not understand how impactful Asian representation in media was until I felt represented by birds 😂
