letterblade | GRINDELDORE FOR GOATS

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!

Sorry to be a nag but you never answered my email and it becomes sort of urgent... I'd like to ask your permission to translate "Correspondence" into Russian for the forthcoming "AU vs Canon Games".

Yes, yes, I know, you are not too happy with the fic at the moment and, probably, going to edit it, but I still think it's the most beautiful canon compliant story there is. And it would be a pity to deprive of it the Russian speaking part of the fandom. Besides, it's a pleasure for me (as a translator) to work with your text :) I do promise not to archive it without your permission!

I'm sorry I've been so out of touch--currently homeless (long story), amongst other problems, and do not have much time to deal with fandom stuff.

One concern, one request:

The concern is: I don't know what the ettiquette is with this sort of thing, but I had two other people requested permission for a Russian translation,

maria_barring and

aldhissla18. (The translation requests have been on hold--I've done a lot of necessary revision, though I still have a few more sections to fill in the next time I get the time and a friend's computer. But I know the contest is coming up soon, and I'll try to either finish the revision or have a copy I can let you have.) I really don't know whether this is going to be a translator turf war or what, but if you want to contact them and check and so forth, there you are.

(Personally--I don't have an issue with there being multiple translations out there, but I know translation can be a lot of work, and I'd hate to have three people spending their time on the same thing due to not knowing other people are doing it.)

The request: could I have a link to the contest?

When would you need an English copy by? If it's a week or so, I could probably get you the final version--I hope to have it done soon, I just need to find the computer time and focus. I admit that I'm not happy with the idea of having the unfinished version out there more than it already is, but I know you have a deadline and I've been nonexistent and such. :/

You have nothing to be sorry about - you are The Author, after all! LOL

I've written both

aldhissla18 - no problem there.

The games start 30/03 and my translation is due to 21/04, so if you send the final version in a week, it's fine! As for the link, since the contest hasn't started yet, i could only give you the link to the Astronomy Tower site, if you like, where it will take place eventually: http://hp-fiction.fastbb.ru/. Oh, and my direct email, just in case: alvina3@gmail.com

PS: Oh, and did you by any chance write this one as well?
