Remembering Li Chuan: Good News and Bad News.

Mar 27, 2014 09:34


I’m normally really good at not letting things get to me but I am really feeling hurt about this so please let me vent.

I’ve been translating Remembering Li Chuan for a bit now, and I’m almost done with chapter 6. But today I saw that someone read my translations, found they weren’t to her liking, and started translating on her own. Now, I don’t ( Read more... )

Hello, I am the other translator of Li Chuan and wanted to explain myself a bit. I actually did leave a comment with you on chapter one of your translations. However, I left it as anonymous as I didn't have a livejournal account. It seems that your commenting system immediately marked it as spam. I had hoped you would see my note in shusheng bar and look through the comments. I'm sorry I didn't make more effort to post through other means, causing this to come about ( ... )

Hi hi ^^ I've no idea how LJ categorizes something as spam, but I haven't seen anything in my inbox, spam or otherwise. However, as you did try to leave a message, apologies are in order ^^ Thank you for trying to inform me previously, it's a shame that I wasn't able to see it and had to make this post ( ... )

Hi! Here are some suggestions... anonymous April 6 2014, 05:03:22 UTC
Hello rockharlequin!

First, I want to thank-you for your effort and dedication in translating Remembering Li Chuan, thank-you so much!! Here are some suggestions if you want to start a new translation project. I really admire your dedication in translating c novels, even if it's slow, you still keep up with it. (Really appreciate it!) This gift that your grandmother left you - the knowledge of Mandarin- treasure and use it wisely! I do not know any Mandarin so it really sucks since I miss out on a lot of things =(

Modern C novel Suggestions:

-Black Belly Boss Don't Run Away!
-My Wife, Come Follow Me Home

These are ancient c novel suggestions:

-A Court Full of Happiness (Man Chao Huan) by E’Mei
(this c novel is on a hiatus)
- Ancient Doting Wife Series by Ming Yue Ting Feng

These suggestions may not be to your liking but maybe one of the suggestions might interest you...
(So sorry if it's awkward wording, I'm no good at words =)

Ahh, thank you so much for your reply! I seem to have missed it, I apologize heavily for that!!

Thank you so much for the kind words~ It was comments and sentiments like yours which gave me the drive to translate even when it was really hard!

Thank you so much for your suggestions, I will check them all out. I think Black Belly Boss is being translated over here http://sut3kii.wordpress.com/ , but yeah, I'll definitely keep Wife Come Home With Me in mind... I've seen it recommended to me many times (I think everyone knows I like fake marriage as a genre XD) Please don't apologise if I don't like the suggestions, not your fault in the least. In fact, I can't stop thanking you because you took the time to come over and comment and recommend books to me, which is one of the sweetest things anyone can ever do for me. So thank you, seriously. And I am so so so very sorry I missed your comment, I feel like a jerk. And your words are wonderful, no worries *hug*

Hi hi!! Sorry for the late reply! I'll probably pick up something if it catches my eye, but things have been going busy lately (ahh, 4th year of uni sucks) so I haven't really had time to listen to any new audiobooks T_T But yeah, here's to hoping I find a new obsess-- er book soon ^^ Is there a particular reason you ask?

Hi rockharlequin,

Good luck with all your studies on 4th year of university! I understand how stressful it is because I just graduated last year. XD Nothing in particular I just thought it'll be nice to read another translation that's all :)

OooOOoohhh (belated) Congrats on graduating!! I will hopefully be in your position in a years time~

As it stands, I might help hamster translate a wee bit (she has graciously accepted my crap help so I can try my hand at xianxia) so we'll go from there ^^

Look forward to seeing more of you (and your translations)~
