Ohh... A marathon reading!! I love reading! It's my favorite subject as well as thing to do to pass the time.
Unfortunately... I'm being loaded with schoolwork and it's getting harder to find the time to get on the computer, that's why I've been disappearing every now and then (but don't worry they only last a few days at a time).
A marathon reading... Goody!! And to make sure we read it... how about we each do a small book report form after every 10 chapters? And we choose one person to submit it to and that person will judge who read it clearly and understood it. As well as who read it fastest.
Just an idea, you don't have to accept or like it. Most likely it isn't going to happen.
First, let's choose the questions that should be used as a template, (because a summary by itself is boring)
有缘千里来相会
无缘对面手难牵
The Sword Stained with Royal Blood is "Bi Xue Jian" 碧血剑. Also known as "The Crimson Sabre", it has not been translated at all.Originally Posted by IcyFox
"Shu Jian En Chou Lu" 书剑恩仇录 is "The Book and the Sword", as you have mentioned. It was translated into English -- and very much shortened -- by Graham Earnshaw.
I'd be overwhelmed if someone would help with the second part of XAJH... Lanny's translation is top notch, but slow... personally, the withdrawal symptoms with this novel were even worse than with ROCHOriginally Posted by fox-s
Another great work that hasn't been really given its due is TLBB, there are translations for only 9 or so scattered chapters. Oh well, dreaming cost nothing
Is this a comprehension exercise? Anyone did General Paper here? Sounds like an Application Question to me.Originally Posted by Da Bao
Nah! I don't want to read the whole novel over again. Unless if you guys get JinYong's approval and publish it into a book then maybe I will buy it and read it.
Hey I can't find any threads for Xiao Ao Jiang Hu - I can't seem to find any... Anyone wants to take it up?
Edit : Er nevermind I found it...
By the way, BANGS, don't mind me asking... Are you a male or female? (Been trying to figure that out... )

Ya, please do come and read. If you guys can't find the beginning tell me. I'll post the link to the beginning of the story up.Originally Posted by fox-s
I am living in exile, waiting for a little ray of hope to bring me back to where I belong.
Continuing TLBB translation should be the new project after ROCH, pleaaaasssseeee
It has been a while since last I logged on and now that I see that you guys actually finished translating this novel!!!
CONGRATULATIONS AND HEARTFELT THANKS
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for Chapter 34 - is it finished and not posted yet?
I'm so much eager to read the other chapters. Please give me good news otherwise I'll just give in and start on 35.
Thank you, thank you all of the wonderful translators who took their time to do this so that the Chinese illiterate, like myself, could appreciate these novels.
I have a question - is the part where Yang Guo meets Zhang San Feng at Hua San actually part of ROCH? Will this be translated?
Again, thank you all. You are my heroes!
Yes, it is the last part of Chapter 40.Originally Posted by JeanGrey
Elfyhead, it has been a whole week since you said you would do Chapter 40 and you are disappearing. I need to know if you are still working on it. If you don't, then I will continue what I've done ... No, this is not a threat ... , but I am as anxious as everybody else to finish this great novel.
If I continue, either IcyFox or Da Bao will help me editing it. Be patient, I need a few more days.
You are very welcome! I believe the translators' (at least for me) reward is nice comments from y'all ..
(Reading the novel is addictive, but do you also know that translating it could be addictive too?)
Eliza, the first part of Chapter 34 is being translated by Jin_Yong_Fan, the last part is by foxs. Da Bao is our editor. There is still a gap in the middle, but I received a message from Jin_Yong_Fan that she is inundated by school work (so is Da Bao), so it will take a while. But she is determined to finish it up. I can pm you the unfinished chapter if you really can't wait ... I don't want you to pass out yet ...

I noticed her name in the people viewing list a short while ago but she didn't reply to any threads that I read. May be she's feeling a bit guilty.Originally Posted by IcyFox
