My first translation!
My story, Daya and Dharma, forthcoming in GÜD Magazine issu 4, is being translated! I'm so thrilled!
![]() There's a sample paragraph here! Update! Kaolin kindly posted the sample translation in post 9 of this thread! Uh, guys? Guys? I'm impressed with how many people this got, but it's a joke

You really should follow the link to see the poetry, the ... might I say lyricism? of the translation. It's nothing I'd ever predicted would happen.

So cool. Language addict that you are, this must be particularly sweet. Or shweet. Or -
I think I'll quit before I get myself into trouble.

Oh, Shweta, too funny! I was completely taken in until you actually posted the translation. Then, thinking my brain was malfunctioning, I did follow the link and lo and behold it was the same thing!!
![]() Just love this day on AW. I work by myself so there's no one to play tricks on me!

And here I thought the Goals and Accomplishments area had escaped the clutches of the evil of 4/1.
