Fanfic is weird.
So, awhile back, GrandCat started translating The Flash Sentry Papers into Russian. The existence of A) Russian Bronies and B) Russian Bronies that would want to read my fic is something new to me.
But wait, there's more!
As not only has my work been translated, it's now been audiobook'd. Or, uh, Youtube reader'd. Just ... in Russian.
Which, honestly, makes sense. The snarky, first person narration is ripe for narration. I've honestly thought about getting ambitious and recording something myself, buuuuuut. I've got enough on my plate as is these days.
Still, it's a trip to see my 'work' get out there on its own, y'know? And heck, if there's a dozen Russian Bronies who like my work, well ... I guess that's why the KGB has a file on me, or something.
Anyway, it's late and dark, and I should probably get to sleep.
Exciting, no?
"Vashe zrodovye!"
(As far as I know, that means 'To your health' but I know as much Russian as Eskimo so...)
How cool is that? Congrats!
I've gotten a few of my stories translated. It's always gratifying to know that someone likes your work enough that they share it with another part of the world.
Also, my file may be right next to yours, so there's that.
Translated and read? :O It's a Hearth's Warming miracle!
Congrats! That sounds utterly delightful. Except maybe the KGB file.

It is more like "Be healthy" wish. Or "We drink for You to be healthy" - as extended version.

That is Russia for You. We used to live with all the oddities of our country and take them as granted.
Oh. Oh. OH!

Your Flash Sentry needs to invent a Lieutenant Kijé!
