nuraichaToday I received a comment on this fic (the Spanish sequel to Changing The Rules) that left me wondering. Part of the comment said:
Honestly, I doubted a lot that stories like this would exist in Spanish, because most of the stories in this fandom are in English.
And it's true, I've searched on AO3 and you can only find 3 Spanish Muse fics, and two of them are mine (and the other one belongs to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
take_a_bow06).
So, my point is, why does this happen? I'm sure they're a lot of Belldom fans in Spain and Spanish speaking countries, I know several of them, and I'm sure it's impossible there are only two persons who write it, so my question is where the hell does this people post? Even if AO3 is clearly a English-speaking site, I believe it gives you a great opportunity to post your fics, so I think there should be more people in there.
I know most of the Spanish-speaking fandoms are around FanFiction.net, but the rules there don't allow you to post nothing RPF or RPS, so I thought I'd find Spanish Muse fics on AO3... and I didn't. Does anyone know about a site where people post Spanish fics? Even if I read on English (because my past experiences with Spanish fandoms taught me generally there isn't much quality out there), I'm curious and I'd love to take a look. I also think people *want* Spanish Muse fics, because looking at my statistics on AO3, my Muse fics are the only ones in Spanish that have more than 100 hits, when the normal average for my Spanish fics are around 50 in the best of the cases (most of them are around 30... if we don't count Undisclosed Desires, even if I don't know why but it has 97 hits, I think it's because the Muse title, but it is a Doctor/Master fic, of course).
To sum up all this rambling, my point is that Spanish-speaking fandoms are a mystery to me *nods* However, I'll keep writing in Spanish, even if my last Belldom idea was born in English... and, believe me, I'm afraid of that fic and I don't even know if I should write it...
Talking about other Muse-y things, look what I have been doing for a friend:
So basically, I have this friend who asked me to recommend her a few Muse songs, because she wanted to start listening to them. And, like I want her to understand why they are so fucking awesome, I decided to make her a whole custom cd with the songs I think she'd love and, like I had time and I love to procrastinate, I added the lyrics and I think it's pretty cool, isn't it? I hope she likes it, because I worked hard on it.
The songs are 3 from Showbiz, 4 from Origin of Symmetry, 3 from Absolution, 4 from Black Holes and Revelations, 2 from The Resistance, 3 from The 2nd Law and Neutron Star Collision and Stockholm Syndrome live from H.A.A.R.P. Crossing my fingers that she'll like my gift and she'll decide to buy the original albums!
Ok, end of the rambling (can you tell I wanted to talk?).
PS: I'm still translating the sequel to Changing The Rules. I hate translating my fics .-.

Date: 2013-09-21 05:06 pm (UTC)that's kind of sad, you know? i mean, you're totally right! i have a LOT of fics (in Spanish) but i'm afraid of publish them because i think no one would read them. i'm currently working in one of them but i'm planning to translate it into english. It would be nice to have an "spanish belldom fandom" like MS.
P.D: LOVED THAT COVER<3

Date: 2013-09-22 12:01 pm (UTC)I know, it's very sad, and it always happens on AO3, my Spanish fics almost never receive any comments, and 80% of the comments I have received on them are from people I know, so that's kind of "cheating", at least a little bit, because I think what a writer cherishes the most is the comments of random people they don't know and that are there because they *wanted* to read the story and found it casually. However, I think you could try and keep posting in AO3, because it's the only platform we have to do so and Spanish speaking Musers can come across them if they are browsing the stories. But yes, translating and posting on MS is the best and faster solution if you want to give visibility to what you write.
I agree, I even thought once of opening a community of Belldom in Spanish here but, at least in Spain, nobody even knows what Livejournal is! So I don't think it would be a great success... it's a pity :(
And thanks! But it isn't exactly a "cover", it's one of the pages with the lyrics. My friend loved the cd, btw, I'm now waiting to hear about if she liked the music as well :)

Date: 2013-10-02 12:33 pm (UTC)¿En Blogspot? Jamás se me habría ocurrido que allí se colgaran fics... ¿ves? Ese el problema que comentaba arriba, no tenemos una plataforma común para colgar fics en español y, claro, la gente se pierde y te encuentras las cosas de pura casualidad.
¡Muchas gracias por leer mis fics! Te lo agradezco de corazón y me alegra que te hayan gustado. Precisamente hace un par de días colgué otro fic (aunque sólo en inglés, lo escribí en español pero me gusta mucho más cómo me quedó la traducción, más que el original) por aquí, llamado Flashing Lights (http://nuraicha.livejournal.com/2066.html) que te invito a leer, si tienes ganas. Seguiré escribiendo, por supuesto, aunque ahora que ha comenzado la universidad probablemente tarde mucho (si ya de normal soy una escritora lenta, imagina con tareas...)
¡Saludos!

Afortunadamente puedo entender bastante bien el ingles y es por eso que museslash se ha vuelto mi vida jaja, por cierto, "Cambiando las reglas" me ha gustado muchísimo, ya me he leído la segunda parte en español y me encantó, así que te animo a seguir escribiendo, ya sea en ingles o español :)
Saludos!
