Today's discussion topic is language. The fanfic flamingo has something to say on the subject:



[Background — a six piece pie style colour split in three shades of pink. Foreground — the long neck and face of a pink flamingo.

Top text: love fanfiction in English

Bottom text: laugh uncontrollably over how ridiculous it sounds when reading some in your own language]


So, do you usually write fic in your native language or in another language? Why? What about reading fic? Is the flamingo right and fic in your own language sounds ridiculous?

Ack, I keep forgetting to sign up for this month WIP! Been quite busy the last several days. I want to finish my second help_japan fic by this or next month, so I guess I'll just have it as my WIP challenge for this month in my mind. XD

Anyways, was busy with chores and discussing with someone over a fic auction bid I won from her yesterday, but I managed to write around a little over 300 words. It's not the second help_japan fic though and I REALLY need to get back on track for that one. Dang it plot bunnies, stop giving me ideas for the other story. x_x

I read and write fics in English since it's my first/native language. I know a bit Italian and Spanish, so maybe one day I might try to read fics in those languages, haha.

The month has just barely started. It's not too late to sign up.

Damn the plot bunnies. They keep multiplying at the most inconvenient of times, don't they?
