GRINDELDORE FOR GOATS - the conclusion!

[letterblade]

So here I am, twenty-four hours later, totally unslept and reasonably well-fed, mostly-naked and well-flirted-with, and, most important, bearing a more-or-less complete fic!

being a correspondence between Albus P.W.B. Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald, and being also somewhat unedited and in need of a title, but done, in the end, for the Greater Good:

Ohmigawd! No, you're not being a pain in the neck, just flattering me enormously. I'd love to give translation permission.

Here's the catch, though - this, er, for all that a lot of people have been reading it, is a completely unedited draft. And editing it - along with adding some new material, as I had to skip some stuff in the '80s in order to be able to finish it within twenty-four hours - is a momentous enough task that I've been, er, putting it off.

Sigh. Lazy writer!

So how about I go finish this thing off as soon as I can, and then you can go do your marvelous thing?

On a practical note, may I have your email address (feel free to screen comment) so that we can communicate more readily? LJ seems to like to eat comment emails sometimes.

Many thanks,
Letterblade

Hi again :).

First of all: YAY! Thank you :D

Then, my e-mail address is: regan.slash[@]gmail.com :).


And finally, I understand (or I think so) what you mean. But are you already editing the letters? Are you editing entry per entry or posting (or will be posting) completely new entries?

I could translate letter per letter... for example, if you told me 'letter one is ready' then I'd translate letter one and wait until you finished the next. However, if you feel more comfortable I can start translating when you tell me that everything is exactly as you want it to be :D

Regards ^^
