I always very much enjoy your stuff Crazyfck. I also have gone so far to run your Portuguese stories through a translator. I really like "Pandora" even though babelfish does a bad translation.
Take care
You are making the crazyfck smug... I always wrote the stories for my own pleasure, and wrote them in english so I can share them. I remember the time I had to use web translators to read Little Baby Daddy, or Cheerleader Diaries, New Woman, etc. It was a torture, I needed a dictionary by the side of the computer to consult every minute.
It's a very good thing you are doing, backing up those stories, specially those posted in forums that disappears with a server crash or its owner decides to pull the plug. Those stories are indeed safer in the internet cloud.
Beware though, I'm not a writer and this is my first outing.
I read Stephen King's On Writing. It gives some encouragement but it mostly give us some perspective:
"Fiction writers, present company included,
don’t understand very much about what they do—not why it
works when it’s good, not why it doesn’t when it’s bad."
My favorite passage is this:
"What are you going to write about?
And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want.
Anything at all . . . as long as you tell the truth."
And be NSFW:
" If you
substitute “Oh sugar!” for “Oh shit!” because you’re think-
ing about the Legion of Decency, you are breaking the
unspoken contract that exists between writer and reader"
