Hahaha! That is a funny notion and something that never really crossed my mind. Of course you’d never actually have the need to read the translations because duh, you can read the original! lol I could have worded the question better; I meant, do you have friends/acquaintances/colleagues whose work you would recommend and who isn’t as visible. Something like that. Anyway. The rec you gave is really really long, isn’t it??? And probably would never get fully translated.

I won’t ask you to expand on why you can’t see yourself translating Burn but what you said is interesting. I never knew translating could be so complex. I thought as long as one knew both languages, it’d be easy-peasy.

That comment about translation is interesting! Maybe I should write a couple of posts about translation at some point.

Please do consider it. It would be highly informative, I think.

Oh, I wanted to ask something unrelated: is it worth watching The Evidence Tells? 32 episodes is a lot to watch for measly crumbs and/or that I would have to base on my own creative and far-reaching imagination. lol

I'd say it's worth watching. The episodes are very short, about 20 minutes each, and they're pretty fast-paced. The gay quotient is lower than Couple of Mirrors but significantly higher than the start of The Message. You might want to check out this recommendation post by aurumcalendula if you haven't already!

Thanks. I'll watch it seeing as I managed to get through The Message (with the help of the ladies being beautiful lol) which was sparse in its barely-there subtext so if this has an itty bitty bit more, then it should be worthwhile.
I wonder if we'll ever get S2 of CoM.
