SilverMajusaka updated the Chinese translation of My Friend, the Pope (in-training) with chapter 6~. You can read it here. Chikus POV~.

I joined April's Camp NaNoWriMo with 25k as the goal. I like how flexible Camp NaNo is! There are many different types of goals to choose from, such as word count, hours written, pages, etc, and there are writing cabins too. I requested to be in a fanfic cabin with a similar word count goal. :) Time to go camping~

Next chapter that I finish should be A Vice-Captain's Tale, chapter 11. It's finally the Adair chapter!

Now, there was only one person left who hadn't approached me—Vice-Captain Sun, the unofficial leader of the vice-captains. There was no actual leader among us, but everyone knew Adair was it.

By this time, I had already left the training grounds. He was still nowhere in sight.

Where in the world is he?

I started a Chinese translation of the fic~

♥ 大哥的私生子

What was funny was that I ended up elaborating a bit more (hey, hey, this isn't a translation anymore), so I was sort of editing the story again. Anyway, I went back to the English version and made some revisions to reflect the changes I made in the Chinese version. The Chinese and the English don't match very well, whoops.

And then I received a comment from weixin saying they haven't even gotten V3 yet. XD;; Ahhhh, even in Chinese fandom, V3 is elusive!!

By the way, here's a gorgeous Legend of Sun Knight fan comic drawn by 12HolyKnights called "The sound of piano - A tender feeling." I highly recommend it!

SilverManjusaka translated Part 3 of My Friend, the Pope (in-training) into Chinese. It's the chapter featuring Ceo's POV!

Here's the update.

I love it. :D It's such an odd but cool feeling reading your own work as interpreted by someone else. I found Ceo quite endearing here, and I actually smiled at some parts??? Like, "oh, I liked what happened here!" but wait, wasn't I the original author It's cool. It's like reading a whole new story and getting to enjoy a storyline I've wanted to see. That's part of the reason why I write in the first place, wanting to see certain stories! Since other people haven't written it, I end up writing it myself. Now I get the best of both worlds! XD

This reminds me though that it's been some time since I've updated the story. Eeeep. I'm probably going to try to finish this oneshot about Adair (I've been stuck on it for 2 years... Not that I've spent 2 years writing it, but it's been sitting in my folder for that long... Can I finally finish it?) and then I might see if I can poke either Invincible or My Friend, the Pope back into life. why so many unfinished stories At least, Drink Me Under was a short fic. Thank the God of Light! Yay for completed fics!

Anyway, here's the discarded introduction to the Adair fic. The new version is around 1.5k so far. I'm hoping I can finish it sometime. =x

SilverManjusaka updated the Chinese translation of My Friend, the Pope (in-training) with chapter 2! You can read it below.

♥ 我的好友——（實習）教皇陛下

I really need to update this fic. :'D;

Recent stuff I bought! Well, not so recent anymore, but I finally got around to taking pics~. LSK fanfic doujinshi "Second Life", Key of the Sunken Moon artbook, several Japanese manga, and LSK V3 (new version).

There's this really popular crossover fanfic between Legend of Sun Knight and Unique Legend called "Second Life." There's even fanfics of this fanfic about! I bought the first 5 volumes. They're super thick. (So so epic. I wish I could write like this). You can find the fanfic over here. The basic premise is that Grisia and all the others died and reincarnated in the Unique Legend world. The first part of the story has them finding each other, while later parts of the story incorporate more of the Unique Legend world.

SilverManjusaka translated Long Live the Sun Knight into Chinese! :D

♥ 太阳骑士万岁 —雷瑟是太阳骑士？
「为什么。。不、你。。」雷瑟断断续续的说着，似乎不知道该从何处说起。我只希望他能快点松开捂住我嘴巴的手——我快断气了！但比起这个，我更希望自己快从梦中醒过来。犹豫了一阵后，他终于下了某种结论。

雷瑟看着我，「你一定是在我当上太阳骑士前认识的人。」

So I always thought of this fic as light Lesus/Grisia, but wow is the translation shippy. XD; Grisia's voice sounds better than in the original fic, me feels, haha. I adored it. SilverManjusaka took some liberties with the translation to make it sound more natural. I thought the result was pretty neat.

I've been wanting to translate some of my fics myself, but my attempts have not gotten far at all (because what is composing in Chinese even). I certainly wouldn't be able to make it sound like this. :3

So, today was the ending to Kamigami no Asobi! I adored the ending! I really didn't expect to like this anime so much heading in, but ahhhh, I really adored it. (...I guess the parallels to Legend of Sun Knight helped. XD;; I'll take it anywhere I can get, haha)

( more rambling )

I wish I had more time. I would totally cosplay Kamigami hahahaha (but Anime Expo is only just around the corner).

Jenny Flint has translated Stuck on a Carpet to Spanish! \o\

♥ Atrapado sobre una alfombra
Estar atrapado en una alfombra con Lolidragon (descontando el hecho de que Sunshine también estaba ahí) hacía que Yang Ming pensara cosas muy raras. Yang Ming/Lolidragon

Also, I edited the ending of Bittersweet Sweetness Part 31 a bit. Now I'm happier with it! I hope not a lot of people have read the chapter yet. |D;;

I've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: New Leaf lately. Not as lot as some other people, but still a lot! My brother has been playing the stalk market and making me check my turnip prices, hahahaha. I had a huge spike today! Turnips were going for 624 bells!!! But I personally didn't buy all that many turnips. OTL Other people benefited from my shop. |D;;

Translations for both Bittersweet Sweetness and Behind Closed Doors are now up to date! I better get back to finishing Bittersweet

♥ Dulzura Agridulce
En lugar de recibir un broche que lo disfrace de asesino, Sol recibe un dije que hace que intercambie cuerpos con Juicio. Ahora, Juicio debe descifrar el misterio tras el Caballero de la Muerte en lugar de Sol. El problema es que imitar la pobre esgrima de Sol no es nada fácil, ¿y quién podría decir lo que estaba haciendo Sol con el cuerpo de Juicio, mientras tanto?

♥ A Puerta Cerrada
Cuando Sol pasó frente al cuarto de oración, escuchó unos sonidos muy... sospechosos. (Sol x Adair x Juicio)

Also, levy120 did a podfic of Enemy Territory~. Such a cute voice! :)

♥ Enemy Territory
Nine year old Phoenix clutched his teacher's hand tightly as she led him down the hallway. Coming here was like entering enemy territory! Phoenix tries to make an ally out of his classmate Edgeworth. These are Phoenix's first impressions of Edgeworth.

I've been trying to write a Bakuman oneshot, but I'm getting really stuck with it even though it should just be a simple thing... I think I'll return to Bittersweet for now and poke at it later... (And of course when I get stuck with one fic, I get bombarded with ideas for new fics... OTL. Go away, plunnies, I can't take care of you right now!)

Vietnamese translation of Tension, a Bakuman fic, thanks to Hyouton Inuki! I love fic translations. :)

Here's the link!
♥ Tension

Speaking of Bakuman, I caught up with the 3rd season of the anime! \o\ Although the pacing is a lot faster now, it doesn't feel too rushed. I'm actually glad the 2nd Nanamine arc was cut out, since it didn't build on his character much at all. I hope I'll find the ending satisfactory! Will be a little sad to see the series conclude though.

Fire Emblem, ah, Fire Emblem. Awakening has been out of stock and delayed everywhere!!! I pre-ordered Fire Emblem Awakening at GameStop because I wanted the artbook that came with pre-orders, and I wanted to get the game on the day of the release. That was supposed to be Monday, and now it's Friday. -__-; I've been calling GameStop a lot to check if they'd gotten the game yet. (The answer was always no, check back tomorrow! We're getting it tomorrow! And then, of course, the next day, the answer was "no" again...) On Tuesday, I went to buy something at my local electronics store, saw FE:A on the shelf (there were only two available, I picked one up, started checking GameStop's cancellation policy for pre-orders and put the game down, and then this guy came over... I thought it'd be best to grab the game again, and lo and behold, he grabbed the last copy. And then started checking his phone too. =P ) I ended up buying the game and was so conflicted over my pre-order. -___-; I haven't canceled my pre-order, so I guess... I'll end up with two copies, one for my brother. ^^;; I'd planned on lending the game to him after I finished, but now I'll get to keep my copy, haha. I didn't think I'd be one of those who bought multiple copies. I still haven't gotten my pre-order yet though. Hope I can pick it up today after I wake up. (Thankfully, my work day isn't as long this Friday) Am really loving the game. <3 Went with a female avatar named Ruka for this playthrough.

Yu Wo sounds like she's starting to write part 2 of When Teacher Wasn't Yet Teacher. Trying to make it for Chinese New Year, I think. XD In it, Chasel mentions a person he was hoping to have in his platoon. However, that person ended up in the Sun Knight Platoon. Might this person be the vice-captain Chasel appointed for Neo? XDDDD (I'm bouncing all over the place. Vice-captains!!! :DDDD For some reason, I really like the vice-captains...) I do wonder who this character will turn out to be, even if not the vice-captain.

Chinese New Year this weekend! I will be off at my relatives' for the weekend but am hoping to be able to find some time to write. :) It is more likely that I'll be playing FE:A though, haha. |D;; (I haven't finished FE12...)

Another fic translation!
♥ Apuntes del Diario de un Caballero Sagrado
¿Creen conocer a la 38ª Generación de Caballeros Sagrados? Sí, claro. Primer Apunte: "Para Mantener Feliz al Caballero Sol, Atibórralo de Dulces". Segundo Apunte: "Para Salvar la Vista del Caballero Tormenta, Róbale sus Mujeres". Cada capítulo gira alrededor de dos caballeros diferentes.

LSK stuff! \o\ These arrived in two shipments. Very happy I received these before the year ended.



Legend of Sun Knight manhua v4 + poster of Cloud, J.U./Rippleless artbook (she draws doujinshi of LSK and is also the artist for some of the official merchandize), 3 LSK doujinshi, and 3 volumes of Key of the Sunken Moon by Shui Quan. These three volumes are part of the spin-off. I've yet to read the main series though. I hope I end up liking the series!

( ramblings about the doujinshi )

( translation of a cute Q&A from the back of LSK manhua v4 )

Happy new years everyone. ♥

By the way, the translation of the Half Prince novels has finally been completed, wow! If you've never read 1/2 Prince before, or you think you might give it a try, now is a good time since the whole thing has been completed! :D Translations can be found over here. Cold Fox has awesome screen time in the ending chapters. 8D

(As for Lucathia spending money, I also bought Oresama Teacher v15, Kimi to Boku v12, Junai Labyrinth v7, Akatsuki no Yona v10, and Bokura no Kiseki v7 last week. *watches money go down the drain*)

Lessons in Demeanor has been translated into Spanish and can be found below! \o\

♥ Clases de comportamiento
Si alguien quisiera aprender a ligar mejor, ¿a quién pedir ayuda, si no al mismísimo... próximo Caballero Tierra, que es tan casto y puro? ¿Qué? ¿Que eso no tiene sentido?


Video games I've been playing recently. First is Fire Emblem 12 (Shin Monshou no Shou). I started playing this in 2010 but stopped, thinking that I'd wait for a North American release... but that never happened. Restarting the game now (just in time because now there's an English patch), though I'm doing terrible in the game. Probably the worst I've ever done. |D;; (I also nearly named my character Luke when there's already a Luke in the game, oops, and reading my previous post about the game... I knew about the character back then! Oh what a shoddy memory...) I'm now a bit further than I had gotten last time, but still not too far in the game. I'm probably not training the myunit character the best way. I like mages too much, but they don't have the best defense. |D Let's see if I can finish the game this time and not forget it for another two years...

I'm all ready for the next Fire Emblem. Bought myself a 3DS for it. \o\ Currently playing Theatrhythm Final Fantasy on it. All the nostalgiaaaa. Though I actually haven't beaten a single Final Fantasy game before, ahaha...
