My congrats to whoever did the translation into English of the ones written in Russian. Perfect! I couldn\'t have done better myself. And that is saying A LOT! I must congratulate you on all your stories. Fantastic. I would like, however, to offer you my services as a translator of Russian and an English spell and grammar checker. I can\'t help but feel that the misuse of words and bad grammar detract from your stories. As for the translating, that\'s up to you, but chances are rare that you find a better Russian-to-English translator.

/me shocked...

Thanks a lot for these kind words, Phinehas. They really mean much for me. Actually, I\'m not that good, \'cause it took me a whole week to translate Russian text into English, and that is a hell lot of a time...

About your offer to help - I\'ll keep it in mind...

Yeah, I know I\'m not in your guild and all. Anyway, I just want to lighten your load. I could\'ve done that translating in less\'n 2 hours. As for the grammar and spelling in the whole library. You REALLY need to get someone to edit it. It really detracts from your \"knowledgeable wizard\" ideal.

@Phineas : Go easy on Ice_phoenix, he is just an adept yet. He still has many things to learn.

Keep in mind most of our members aren\'t native english speakers and this is all pretty new stuff, only just added a few days ago. And then there\'s Druke, don\'t mind his spelling, we all know it\'s bad :P

btw, did you ever see the original text Ice_Phoenix translated?

It\'s up to you guys. Just offering to help. It  needs to be done and I wasn\'t sure if you had anyone who can do it better\'n me.  I didn\'t mean to say anything bad about Ice, just wanted to make it easier for him. See this is how it works, we both speak Russian fluently, but my native laguage is English and his is Russian. So it stands to reason that it would be easier for me to translate into English and easier for him to translate into Russian. However, I am very impressed by him. There\'s no way I\'d be able to translate that back into Russian. Well, verbally, yeah, but not written, my Russian writting stinks.

No, I haven\'t seen the original text, why?

Your being or not being in the guild doesn\'t have anything in common with my texts. I just don\'t have any of them to translate now, that\'s all... And I assure you if I need help in translating you\'ll be the first person I ask! (you really could\'ve done translating in 2 hours??? Impressing... I could\'ve done it in a day, but it would take just all my time... Impressing...)

Thanks. It\'s taken a while to get this good. But don\'t be too impressed, like I said, I\'m crap doing Russian writing.

Would your library accept other stories? You know, make it a compilation of stories from other guilds as well? I started a project like that a while ago, but I havent had much time to update it.

While in one sense that would be good, it depends on how it\'s done. I don\'t want to submit Cutting Edge\'s writings to the AO library unless, say, they\'re under a Cutting Edge category. Otherwise I\'ll make my own library.

Elscouta or me could make a section in the library with access to everyone, if you want it so bad. I don\'t think you should put stories completely dedicated to other guilds in there though, advertising your guild on another guild\'s website seems a bit weird to me :P

It\'s also hard to make it look a bit organised if everyone can post there, it tends to look like a mess real fast. One of us could always delete the crappy stories, but that\'s a bit harsh to the person that wrote them :\\

Yeah, you\'re right, I\'ll just make my own library.

Mmm In case anyone\'s interested I\'m keeping an IC Diary. I updated daily, usually at around 1 am GMT (Or earlier, depending on what time I feel like going to bed).

You can find it here (http://www.arcaneorder.com/listchapters.php?story=65).
