    Cancelled a few things

    If you noticed (you probably didn't) I moved some statuses over to 'cancelled'. Mostly there were years-old stories that I just don't have the werewithal to mess with any more. I moved them over for clarity's sake.

    That's a lot! Like a heap!

    And I have nothing. I have no updates, no news, no goddamn anything. And that's a problem! I should have news, and updates. I've got one or two things I'm intending to work on, but I haven't actually done that. Most of my time has been spent working for Someone's PC doing those stories.

Changeling loves you! (?)

I dunno. I suck at the juxtaposition joke!

Buuuut, This guy, Kaze_No_Saga, is, he tells me, a professional translator with years of experience.

And he is currently translating An Affliction of the Heart into Russian.

It's over here, and for some reason... pony stuff seems to be pretty big in Russia!

I've gotten some of my most scathing reviews from Russian fans, written, of course, in Russian. I had to use a translator to even read the reviews (and they were hilarious). My favorite line from one reviewer (whom I think is the equivalent of Yahtzee for Russian pony fanfiction - his goal is to be crushingly critical), was 'love is lick-linoleum'.

I don't even know! But it's hilarious.

So, if you, or someone you know, is Russian, and wants to read the story in your native language, translated by a professional translator, then click dem links!

Я не могу говорить по-русски, так что я очень надеюсь, что это говорит "нажмите здесь, чтобы прочитать несчастье Сердца на русском языке!"

Big thanks to the Kaze guy for giving up his free time to do this!

Wat... I just clicked steam friends and this appeared instead

Can I get a link to some of those reviews?

1653600 I would have to find them! Lemme dig around

Huh, I always thought I was one of, like, 10-20 Russian users on FiMFiction.

Очень приятно, что мои соотечественники взялись за обработку забугорной писанины. Но на русском этот рассказ звучит неопрятно. Еще одно подтверждение того, что перевод не должен быть осуществлен через прямое пересложение текста, но также через стилистическую и орфографическую переработку.

Я надеюсь, уважаемый Автор не против кириллического беспредела в этом блоге?:pinkiecrazy:

1653612 :raritycry: I no speak Russian!


1653600 http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftabun.everypony.ru%2Fblog%2Fstories%2F77023.html

I can't find the exact place where he says that 'love is lick-linoleum', but I'm sure it was on that page...

But good god if I don't fucking LOVE what they did with the cover art at the top there! the silhouette is gorgeous.

1653612 Google translate gave me the phrase 'Cyrillic mayhem', and that made me laugh.

Я не перевариваю MLP на русском вообще :twilightoops:

Родной язык раскрывает весь примитивизм языков, порожденных латинским языком. Эта данность все портит. Потому МЛП лучше потреблять в "сыром" виде.

Автор, хочешь фанарт?

for some reason i want to learn how to speak and read in this language.
I think i would have a blast.

My favorite line from one reviewer (whom I think is the equivalent of Yahtzee for Russian pony fanfiction - his goal is to be crushingly critical), was 'love is lick-linoleum'.

Ok, I found a clue as to what he might be talking about here.

Even the relationship went, to put it mildly, not too romantic - well, that's who in their right mind will seem especially tempting licking chitin, which itself is the bearer of it compares with linoleum?

So, I think he's referring to the comparison of chitin (changeling hide) to linoleum. And apparently lovers lick each other constantly to show they love each other. (OK, that last part was a bit embellished, but you get the point.)

Overall, he makes some really good points. He's just looking at it with a magnifying glass (as a critic should). :twilightsmile:

Ok, so here's a question. Where can one view the 'linoleum' comment in original? :3

I can't read MLP in russian despite it being my native. And believe me, I tried. But the comments... They should be really, really good. As I've found, russian people tend to favour the 'pedal-to-the-metal' approach in reviews.

1656586 I don't know!

I know that that review was where I read it, but I can't find it :pinkiesad2:

1656586 FOUND IT

It was on that page, but it was hidden under a button that, for some reason, wasn't showing in the translated page.

This guy really has a hard-on for macho guys. Apparently he found Warden annoying because he didn't just immediately decide to kill Kuno?

Any way, google translate gives me this:

I procrastinated long reading this fanfic for the future, but it was the second part of the collection of " rumantiku ." And , as it turned out , not for nothing is postponed . However, let's order . First, a little about the author, who suddenly prolific ... klopfikami . Assigned to them under even the whole universe , where everyone can find something to their liking. And they are enjoying very strong demand . How do you , for example, the following figures : Trigger warning! Falcon = 775 \ 66. Does this tell something about the author ? Well, probably it well work out sex scenes . But does his talent and something else?

As shown, no . And that given transcendental rating of the work itself . Why does it happen ? I often ask myself the same question , and often responds to it . Unfortunately, for the majority, " Afflikshen " really is a romantic story. It is written for a wide audience a man quite obviously not experienced the real feelings . No, but seriously , every course is , but this relationship building is almost beyond reality . Okay ...

It all starts in principle rather prosaically , the guard - pegasus saves cheyndzhlinga and locks it at home. Explanation as to why he did it ... Strung . Like so many other things in this fanfic , which in my opinion is its main drawback . So, in a nutshell, he rescues her because he rag wuss and wimp . Dear character that will annoy us throughout the story these lovely traits of character. Bravo , I hope no one wants to associate themselves with a similar type.

Fortunately the second hero ( heroine ) is clearly better. The only thing I would like to speak positively . It turned out a smart, bold , ironic , brilliant, listing positive qualities can continue for a long time . Only one caveat note . Deadhead - wimp "in love" with a collection of positive qualities. Sound familiar?

Next of course is the story , which seems to be there, but at the same time it is not. All naturally concentrated on the development of relations of our sweet couple , which also say, but a little later . But somewhere in the end the author suddenly remembers that he has a body of work and there must be something else ! And there it is - a "great threat" awkward relationship . After which the session is waiting for us to overcome and prevozmoganiya , well and happy ending . Thank you , all free.

Happens - rapidly and , as already mentioned , stiffly. The rapid development of attachment. The rapid development of attachment in lyuboff . Not less rapid solution of the basic problems and ... Everything. Reading fanfic entirely, think for a while : " What does all this happen? "

Now, the part for which fanfic was chosen . Rrrromantika ! Remember , there was a chewing gum from the series "Love is .." with funny liners. So, after reading this fanfic I came up with his slogan. " Love is ...... lick linoleum ." Other thoughts for some reason did not appear . Well , collars still give. I exaggerate , of course, but the formation of relationships in this couple looks so humdrum and stretch, just no words.

Did I go too far , especially against the background of two other works from our collection today , but " Afflikshen " - frankly passage reading. He also had a sequel, which I will not read , you can spend your time more usefully . That is my opinion .

1656824 No-no, the RUSSIAN text :3

I do get the idea, however :D And yeah, you're right about that. On both 'macho guys hard-on' and 'overinflated self-esteem, king of the hill' attitude. Overcompensation much :D

Давно я откладывал прочтение этого фанфика на будущее, но он оказался во второй части подборки про “румантику”. И, как оказалось, не зря откладывал же. Впрочем, давайте по порядку. Для начала немного об авторе, который неожиданно плодовит… клопфиками. Под них отведена даже целая вселенная, где каждый может найти себе что-нибудь по душе. И они пользуются очень стабильным спросом. Как вам, например, такие цифры: Trigger warning! Falcon = 775\66. Говорит ли это что-то об авторе? Ну, наверное, ему хорошо удаются постельные сцены. Но распространяется ли его талант и на что-то другое?

Как показала практика, нет. И это учитывая заоблачный рейтинг самого произведения. Почему же так получается? Я частенько задаю себе подобный вопрос и частенько на него отвечаю. К сожалению, для большинства, “Аффликшен” действительно является романтической историей. Он написан для широкой аудитории человеком, вполне очевидно, не испытавшим настоящих чувств. Нет, ну серьёзно, всякое конечно бывает, но такое построение отношений уже практически за гранью реальности. Ладно…

Начинается всё в принципе довольно прозаично, стражник-пегас спасает чейнджлинга и запирает её у себя дома. Объяснения, почему он это сделал… Натянутые. Как и очень многое другое в этом фанфике, что на мой взгляд и является его основным минусом. Так вот, в двух словах, он её спасает, потому что сам тряпка, рохля и слюнтяй. Милейший персонаж, который будет раздражать нас на протяжении всего повествования этими милыми чертами своего характера. Браво, надеюсь никто не захочет себя ассоциировать с подобным типажом.

К счастью второй герой (героиня) явно получше. Единственное, о чём хотелось бы высказаться положительно. Она получилась умной, смелой, ироничной, замечательной, перечисление положительных качеств можно продолжить ещё очень долго. Один только нюанс отмечу. Рохля-слюнтяй “in love” со сборником положительных качеств. Ничего не напоминает?

Дальше конечно же идёт сюжет, который вроде бы и есть, но в то же время его нет. Сконцентрировано всё естественно на развитии отношений нашей сладкой парочки, о котором тоже скажу, но чуть позднее. Но где-то под конец автор внезапно вспоминает, что у него же масштабная работа и там должно быть что-то ещё! И появляется она — “великая угроза” складывающимся отношениям. После которой нас ждёт сеанс преодоления и превозмогания, ну и хэппи энд. Всем спасибо, все свободны.

Происходящее — стремительно и, как уже говорилось, натянуто. Быстрое развитие привязанности. Быстрое развитие привязанности в любофф. Не менее быстрое решение основной проблемы и… Всё. Прочитав фанфик целиком, ненадолго задумываешься: “Что же это всё было?”

Теперь же та часть, ради которой фанфик был выбран. Рррромантика! Помните, была такая жевачка из серии “Love is..” с забавными вкладышами. Так вот, по прочтении этого фанфика я придумал свой слоган. “Любовь это…… лизать линолеум”. Другие мысли почему-то не появились. Ну, ошейники ещё дарить. Утрирую, конечно, но становление отношений у этой парочки выглядит настолько буднично и натянуто, что просто слов нет.

Возможно, я перегибаю палку, особенно на фоне двух других работ из сегодняшней нашей подборки, но “Аффликшен” — откровенно проходное чтиво. Есть у него и продолжение, которое я читать не стану, своё время можно потратить с большей пользой. Таково моё мнение.

1657068 <3 It was, indeed, worth reading, thanks you :3 Still struggling to comprehend his passage on lick linoleum, but it is exactly what he meant without any context whatsoever. Go figure.

Also a Stephen King quote is completely irrelevant. But at least he tried really hard to give of the intellectual vibe :D
