I seem to have accidentally a milestone

[foxghost]

As of last week (probably), I’ve subtitled 12 solid hours of weilan fanvids. That’s 192 of them. That’s … way more fanvids than I ever expected to sub. Actually I was surprised I ever got to 100. Though I’m separated from the c-fandom by The Great Firewall, sometimes people jump the wall and carry screenshots of what I do back to the other side, and aside from making it accessible to the international fandom, apparently it has the added benefit of making the vidders quite happy.

At first I was like — what? And then I realised OF COURSE if someone translated my fics I’d be ecstatic. Haha. I’m slow.

Things have slowed down some, since 1) it has been > 6 months since Guardian aired, so the vidding side of the fandom is producing less these days 2) my attention is divided, since I’m dedicating 90% of my translation time to help make the rest of the episodes of SCI 謎案集 accessible.

But meanwhile, if you have 12 hours to spare, here’s the playlist.

[foxghost]

You're v welcome <3 have fun, they're all vids I'd watch again.

[xparrot]

That is amazing! \o/ ...I haven't watched the majority of these; clearly I have to change that...

[foxghost]

The vidding fandom is so prolific @_@ and when you're done there'd be NEW ONES

[trobadora]

Wow, that's amazing! Thank you so much for doing all of that. :D

[foxghost]

You've very welcome <3
When I started subbing it was bc "Well, if I'm going to watch this 5 times anyway..."

[rheasilvia]

Wow, that's so amazing - I will very definitely check out that playlist. :-) Thank you!

[foxghost]

You're welcome <3

So awesome!

Where are you doing the SCI subtitling? I don't even know where it's available. (Not planning on actually watching, I still have so many other things. But I might watch it eventually. I will definitely try and read the novel(s), though.)

[foxghost]

SCI subbing is spread between two groups: the language learning group on yt who did the first 9 episodes (I think) and the second by @mypheralside on tumblr who subbed up to 15, and I teamed up with her from 16 onwards. the links are all over the place because nobody's licensed to air it outside china/hk/taiwan and get taken down all the time ;-;

IT IS GOOD THOUGH, but the first two episodes are kind of edited badly (bc censorship) and it turns a lot of people away.

Ah, right, thank you! I had that one link already, and I'm totally okay with stitching it together from different sources.

But that means the videos get taken down, too? Damn. Maybe I should start collecting. The playlist i had bookmarked (and not looked at in months) now has half its episodes deleted. Oi. :/

Me, too. :) I only watched the first one and went "whu?".
