...just to make this absolutely empty account a bit less empty.
...and, maybe, to show somebody who this strange man, asking about permission to translate, is.
While you are reading this, please keep in mind that my translating skills are highly asymmetrical: I am good at translating from English to Russian, much less from Russian to English, and almost can't comprehend spoken English. So I am sorry for the quality of this text, but for quality of my translations i am not sorry - I am proud of them! ;-)

Muscovite (citizen of The Default City), medic, biologist... fan of reading and computer games...
I always was a great fan of sci-fi and fantasy, first book I was able to read without help was J. Verne's "The mysterious Island"; in Soviet times it was hard to find, later it came as flood...
...and so, somewhere at 2017, while browsing The Samizdat, I have stumbled upon strange story The Cute Pink Pony (only Russian, sorry) - Narutoverse story, where one of the heroes got isekaied to the world of ponies ("Who the hell is Naruto?" - were my thoughts at that time, - "and who are the ponies? Some sapient fantasy creatures?"). The story was humongously out of canon (as I found later), but... really cute. And kind. And funny too :-)
Later at one of the sites I found a link to the "You know, there is Fallout fanfic in the world of ponies, and it is really interesting!" - yeah, Fallout Equestria. In English - at that time I didn't knew about existence of translated fanfics, and about existence of MLP fanfics at all.

So I downloaded that file and start reading. And, after a week, downloaded my first season of "My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic". And only at that time I found who the bronies are, found The Herd, it's library - Ponyfiction.org, the multifandom Ficbook.net , and... yes... Darkpony.
The Rainbow Ray of Ponyness hit my soul, and my world got changed :-)))

It was the end of the 2018, when one of my friends said: "The people are unhappy, comrade, they need more Celestias!" and threw me a link to Damaged Goods. And it was about happiness. Simple and calm happiness, through love and ponies. And to make more comrades happy, I dusted off my long-unused translating skill and converted it to Russian: Бракованные товары at Ficbook and at Ponyfiction.
Yeah, the first translated story in my life...

Next was short greentext Silly Horses (Ficbook Ponyfiction) - silly and cute Celestia and brave Anon, who was able to fix a chair.

Than [RGRE] silly robot pone stuff by AnalPlugAnon (Ficbook, Ponyfiction) - short funny stories about pony-robots.

Sleeping In The Morning by Antarctic_Lizard (Ficbook, Ponyfiction) - Celestia again!

It's all greentext, at that time Pastebin was my main source of stories... and, oh, Zebrafag's pastebin with the stories from /bootleg/waifu... Some of them was strange. Some - horrible. But I found those about happiness - and started to translate them. Without permission - yeah, I know that 4chan was the cradle of our fandom, but I never registered there, sorry, Anons and notAnons...

Pet Ponies by HeliAnon (Ficbook, Ponyfiction) - extremely cute story about cat-ponies.

Hero of the Home Front 1&2- RGRE by PoppedAnon (Ficbook, Ponyfiction) - sooo RGRE....

Ponies Are Supposed To Be Small by BadPacing (Ficbook, Ponyfiction) - The King Anon fights Nightmare Moon with the sword and loses... but, somehow, wins a lot.

Nightmare Moon is a Super Lady by ShamefulHorsefucker (Ficbook, Ponyfiction) - clopfic about the difference in carnal needs of good and evil alicorns.
