Write Every Day, June Day #22

[auroracloud]

Today, I got such a lovely comment on the Wayfarers fic that I wrote for last Yuletide. Generally the reception of that fic has been utterly lovely, and more than I could have expected, but it's been a while since the last actual comment, and this was so sweet.

(Oh no, I realised I still hadn't replied to all the comments that I got around Yuletide! Oops, had to go to fix that.)

Midsummer continues to pass peacefully here. It was a bit cooler here than on the other days, but I used that to go for a nice walk. Even if I got caught in a rain shower, heh. (But I sheltered under a tree during the biggest downpour.)

Today's Writing

I started writing a fic for who_guestfest, yay! I got 354 words on that, and spent some time researching for ideas and brainstorming how it will go. We'll see if I get it completed before the feast deadline. In the afternoon, I spent some time with novel research, reading and taking notes. And now in the evening I mostly finished editing my first Cottoncandy Bingo ficlet. I'll still want to look at it one more time before I send it to be beta-read, though. But as it happens, it's in the same fandom I got the lovely comment from today, so the timing feels particularly good.

a lil writing has happened thus far, and because it occurred to me at some ridiculous dark hour this morning to poke at Google Play and not just DuckDuckGo, I am now in possession of a free app to transliterate hanzi a la Wenzhouhua (the app has buddies for other languages written in hanzi) and that is going to make writing this fic distinctly easier.

(it doesn't transliterate all swears, though)

[auroracloud]

Yay for finding a transliterating app to help you with the technical side of writing your fic! Even if it's vocabulary has limitations...

[alexseanchai]

I mean, I'm running with the notion that Marinette is fluent in Wenzhouhua and knows a little Mandarin, and let's be honest, the words a teenager is most likely to know in any language they know only a little bit of? the swears. Wiktionary has me covered on how to transliterate Mandarin swears!

[auroracloud]

the words a teenager is most likely to know in any language they know only a little bit of? the swears

Ahahaha, very true. Or alternatively, the words someone taught them when they wanted to learn the swears. I remember some people once telling me about how some Swedish guys had wanted to learn swear words in Finnish, and they taught them words for things like "lawnmower". *g*

But yay for Wiktionary coming to rescue! Also, increases the chances your main character won't be stuck with Mandarin for "lawnmower", as she can check. ;-)

[alexseanchai]

lolololol :D

yup! though I defy anyone to look at Marinette, knowing she knows exactly what 肏你媽 translates to in French, and telling her the way to pronounce those characters in Mandarin is "jiǎncǎojī", not "càonǐmā". the results would probably be hilariously painful for whoever pulled that on her.
