Hey everyone! I'm setting up this thread as the place where I will post news/updates about the Peerless Sword translation project I am working on. If you would like to support the project, you can see more about it at my website. The picture above is taken from that page.
For this first post I can just say that I have the official page up at my website, which I just linked to above. That is the general information page for the project. My blog, at the same site, will be where I post updates for the project, as well as updates for my Wuxia Magazine project that is also forthcoming, as well as other updates/news/thoughts about wuxia. I also have a Wuxia Wiki project going, but no link to it yet as it is still in its infancy.
I am still in the early stages of translating Peerless Sword. It's a four-volume, 1,200 page novel, so it will be a while. I also have to edit/revise it after I finish the first draft. I might publish the novel in multiple volumes. If so then the first volume will likely be published before the entire translation is completed, but this is all just an idea at the moment. Nothing set in stone as of yet.
Would you all be interested in conducting an interview with Qin Hong, the author of Peerless Sword? I was thinking you guys could post your questions in this thread, and then if Qin Hong is willing, get him to answer those questions (I would translate his answers into English, of course). I don't know if he would want to do it, but I can ask him if that's something you all would like. He was active in the wuxia community in Taiwan during the 60s-80s. He knew all the big authors, including Gu Long, though I don't know if they were close or not. Anyway, if you like the idea just let me know.
Any questions or comments about this project can be posted in this thread as well.
