Fixed the French Link! · 5:40pm Jun 26th, 2020
Long Road to Friendship has an entire French translation! Some of you may not have known this since the link on the story page has been broken for a lifetime and a half! Well, it's finally been fixed and you can re-read the story in Fancy if you so desire!
It's also apparently the most-read story in the French side of the fandom, so you know, that's cool.
Edit: I also fixed the link for Spectacular Seven. It only has four chapters but I thought, why not?
Huh. I am now sorely tempted to reread this fanfic in my mother tongue now.

I didn't know French was your mother tongue! That's dope!

Well, father tongue, technically, if that's a thing. But, I generally don't exactly advertise it, if only because I see no need to, so I'm not surprised.
Neat! I don't speak French myself, but I'm glad your efforts will be enjoyed by the French side of the fandom. Congrats on having your story be the best there! It only makes sense, though, given how well written and investing your stories are. I always come to them when needing to feel good. Hope you're doing well!
Shame that the site’s dead. I don’t think the French-speaking brony community ever succeeded in building another popular fanfiction site.
It is rather popular in Russia too.
In fact we have created a new Francophone Fimfiction Long Road To the Friendship and Spectacular Seven site or are not yet broadcast but this will not be long and I hope to be able to resume the translation of Spectacular Seven in a while
Here is the link for the new site:

Ooh! You have no idea how much I wanted the French version. I, myself, am fluent in both English and French, so Iʼve been dying to read the translation. donʼt know what happened, but thanks for fixing it.
As a French myself, I'd say that I've came to prefer English than my own language when it comes to movies, games, fics here, shows, etc. since a few years.
I have good memories of things I've watched in French the 1st time (like FMA Brothehood, or anything before 2017 which includes a lot of things), before I wanted to discover more things earlier from foreign creators (or because it's released in English first), but now there is times where I can't stand it after experiencing something in English first, it just feels cringe :|
For ex, many Star Wars series like Rebels, Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, Rogue One, or even comics, the fact that I can watch them in English on Disney+ is a great thing (and aside Rogue One and older movies, I have never heard a single episode in French).
But I appreciate the effort nonetheless. I did start to read your fiction in French (I stopped at Sunset being hired in the shop I think), but now I can't bring myself to not read in English anything here, and not because it isn't updated as yours.
Yo, that's pretty cool!
