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

Thank you!
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.

We're thrilled, needless to say

Do you think you might be willing to post the translation here?

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.

OK. You got me. Only the second one today though. And, hey, it was partly true...

I think I got everyone who didn't actually follow the link...

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!!

To be fair, I actually was pretty thrilled to be part of the joke.
So it's not entirely false...

Just love this day on AW. I work by myself so there's no one to play tricks on me!

I love the chaos of it, I do, and the work some people put into clever jokes.

I don't like when people think it's okay to be mean on April 1st, but fortunately that's a vanishingly small exception on AW, I mean, AB
