Welcome to the Translation Home
Aug. 3rd, 2020 05:34 amHi guys, Zara here.
So my previous home in Livejournal was hacked and deleted. Whilst the stories cannot be recovered, the translations are still something I'm actively doing. Not only to maintain my level of Japanese but also to keep myself sane (people, find something that makes you happy during this pandemic. Anything.)
So! All my stories (current and any I choose to revamp in future) will appear on AO3, you can find the link in my profile. Translations are going to go here.
Maybe later I'll make a masterpost to make it easier to find but for now, please feel free to peruse what will be uploaded here in due time.
Please note, as some will know already, I'm no expert in Japanese. I graduated years ago but I'm still studying and I will be studying for a long time. So these translations are as accurate as I can get them but I fully encourage corrections if someone finds a discrepancy between the source and my translation.
That being said, some translations will be deliberately taken way off course to better explain any cultural differences that may not be explained in the original source and therefore will not make sense to the reader.
My style is all over the place, I will inject my own explanations into translations if I deem it necessary but please note this is only done when the source doesn't explain itself and remains confusing if not explained, not when I simply feel like it. I do try to stay professional :)
That being said however, I'm a very friendly kiwi so please feel free to drop a DM and say hi if you wish.
