Hello! I've also been lurking around this comm for a little bit, but I figured I should properly introduce myself!

My name is Ashura and I'm a new baihe fan! I've known about danmei and baihe for a couple of years, but to be honest it's taken me awhile to consume these types of media. My first introductions to baihe were 她們的故事/Their Story and 雙鏡/Couple of Mirrors, and I'm currently working through the 她的山、她的海/Her Mountain, Her Ocean audio drama. 涇渭情殤/Clear and Muddy Loss of Life is also on my TBR list. I'm really partial towards slice of life, historical settings, complex character dynamics and omegaverse, so I'm curious to explore more baihe media that fall under these tropes :3

Finally, I study Sinology in university and am interested in entering the fan translation space, so if anyone has any resources or tips I'd love to hear them! See y'all around~

Welcome Ashura! And thanks for introducing yourself :)

For recommendations, there are lots of options available if you're comfortable reading in Chinese. For English-language fan translations, hazevi has just finished translating a slice-of-life contemporary romance and I've recently finished translating a historical romcom. Both are linked in the top pinned post.

For resources, there was a very active discussion about translation on the cnovels comm some time ago which might be a good starting point. You're also welcome to post specific questions you have on this comm :)
