Having been asked if we accept translations - we do! We do need confirmation from the original author that they approve of the translation and publication (if accepted).

A very illuminating thread re: writing media tie-in novels, and the earning pros/cons to consider + a few extra factors!

Kingfisher & Wombat@tkingfisher.com · 3w ago

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we? Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

Something exciting arrived today! 🎉 #SFinTranslation @uniwalespress.bsky.social

Ha I just found this article, still warm from the oven, where @molowrites.bsky.social said it all better than me: www.sfintranslation.com?p=16513

Some of the records include the translators in the notes, because volunteers are awesome. For titles I touch, I am submitting as I go. But if these were data fields instead, functionality gains for research would be massive. E.g. click on a translator and see all their credits.

I've been working to compile a bibliography of cyberpunk prose translated into English. Clumsily, but I'm learning. ISFDB has been a tremendous resource for this, because of course it has. I do wish the record structure supported translator credits as data. #SFinTranslation

You knowe when the heroine doth face the dragon wyth a looke of elegant courage -- the sworde, raised -- eyes steel -- so you almost pity the dragon?

CORVID UPDATE: Sunday... after years of feeding them... MY CROWS BLESSED ME WITH MY FIRST GIFT!!! It was... a little pebble! Today... MY CROWS BLESSED ME WITH MY SECOND GIFT! It was... a big old hunk of hard, sandy dirt with some bits of moss and algae!!! 🤣

Word of mouth really does sell books. My friend gets me to read all kinds of things I have never felt like picking up because she's feral about them and I need to know why. I am a clown.

Mandalorian & Grogu was a lot of fun! I *very* much appreciated that the trailers did not give away the plot (AKA, they intentionally obfuscated it). The film was a solid installment to the Mando series, and I enjoyed this new adventure (+ the easter eggs)!

I've got an essay in this!!! :D

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Fresh-baked breads vied with vegetable salads, cheeses, tarts, and trifles, plus a huge cauldron of the moles' favorite deeper'n'ever turnip'n'tater'n'beetroot pie. There were hot herbal teas, cordials of all types, and a barrel of special dandelion ale on tap for the Elders.

I'm not claiming to be a hero, but with every Cadbury MiniEgg I eat, that's a dog not getting chocolate poisoning. I've saved so many dogs.
