I had a lovely opportunity to talk about #BL, fan fiction, and fanworks in Japan and Southeast Asia on the BBC's The Conversation. I shared my own fanfic and scholarly journey, showcasing the transformative power of fanworks. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...

Translators! Please, *please* get yourselves a website that lists your publications, credits, qualifications, etc. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just a place where people can see what your deal is. I can’t hire you based on your Bluesky profile.

Every one of the new clients I have gotten in the last three years came through inquiries on my website. In my opinion, It's ABSOLUTELY the bare minimum, once you have anything to put on it.
Jocelyne Allen@brainvsbook.bsky.social · 2mo agoDon't let your professional self live only on websites controlled by corporations and weirdo billionaires! Have a home base you control and can direct people to, especially people who might be interested in hiring you to do work you are good at (like me, right now).

In cocoon's story and in real life, the Himeyuri girls headed south, where the battle was most deadly. My grandmother's siblings did the same, while my grandmother fled north and survived
The first mention of Okinawa in popular media I encountered, the battle was used as a joke in That '70s Show, accompanied by a laugh track and my mom's reminder 1/3 of the island died Translating this book was an emotional process because I wish it had existed while I was growing up
