Giving credit where it's due...

So, this afternoon I was playing a word game when I was asked the meaning of the word turgid and given several choices of definition.  I immediately picked the definition "swollen, inflated" because I remembered that I had seen that word used to describe a certain portion of Severus Snape's anatomy in various pieces of fanfiction.  Who says that SS/HG fanfiction is a waste of time?  Obviously, it's highly educational!  LOL!

I'm going to rec a fic found at TPP.  It's called "Loving the Enemy."  Muggline has been translating yet another of the German fanfics.  (If you haven't read "The Godfather," it's a very interesting take on SS/HG.)  About "Loving the Enemy," Muggline told me, "The plot takes place in the Marauder era.  The story starts on the Hogwarts Express when Lily Evans and the others start their seventh year and it ends on Halloween, when the Potters are murdered by Voldemort. It is a magnificent tale of how Lily and James fall in love with each other (although it is also a long love story of Sirius and Lily's best friend with a very mysterious plot about dangerous magical artifacts included)."  It sounds exciting!  It hasn't been getting very many reviews on TPP, so I'm guessing that many people haven't found it yet.  The German story is already finished, and Muggline is very prompt about posting updates.  I hope you'll take a look!

Yes, she's picked two really good stories to translate. And she does such a good job with the translations. What a fun way to practice translating! Of course, she's a professional translator, so she gets plenty of practice at her job, I'm sure.

LOL! Yes, fan fic does have its benefits.

Indeed, as Severus might say. :)

BTW, it's good to hear from you. How's real life going?
