Ramblings of a Tired Editor
Lis Chrissy Did... did you make the test?? Haha~
RIP Chrissy
HAHAHAHAH Lis! You actually did it! And you took their advice to post pics!
Welp, guess its time for me to sloth away quietly... and hide. VirtualFrappe can be next.
DesTheSloth Nou's next, then you.
Lis How long did it take you to edit the test?
I'm the translator who is very fortunate enough to work with Lis and It has been a great pleasure. Lis is the editor where you feel "Yes, I just hit the jackpot". I learned so much from her and still doing so everyday.
I still remember the first time when she edited my chapter and pointed out the mistakes with explanation. It certainly made me sweat a little when I saw my translation getting ripped apart. But her meticulousness influenced me to strive to be better. But I'm sure when she edited some of my chapters, especially the earlier ones, she probably wanted to rip her hairs off
Yes, Lis is very busy and sometimes I do selfishily wish that she could have more time to do her magic with words. But she is pursuing her dream and now I try to book her ahead of the schedule to make sure she is free.
Anyways, just here to say thanks~ went a little longer than expected.
Cheers.
Calm_Spirit Hey~ it definitely took me longer back when I first started to edit, so while I don't remember the exact time that it took me to edit the test, I estimate about four hours. My version had three sections, each containing a short excerpt with deliberate mistakes sprinkled throughout. You could say it took up about three Word document pages.
VirtualFrappe DesTheSloth Nou's next, then you.
I tag Nou.
Lis Thanks
wow, she even got a fancy notice on the main page. Awesome :3 (not sarcasm)
Ahh your the reason those stories read so well? I kept thinking how greatly translated the stories we're and gave every chapter a 5 star after finishing. Thanks for the hard work.
shelwyn Thanks, Shelwyn! It's encouraging to know that someone enjoys reading the series as much as I do~ But of course, I really can't claim the credit all by myself~ The translators and fellow editors on my teams work just as hard, if not harder :) Although, if you bring me a cake, that's a different story altogether.... I wouldn't mind keeping that to myself ;D wahaha~
Lis Man, you are so cool... The highest score among all the editors.... You must be very awesome.

Lis, how long did it take for qidian to contact you for editing? I emailed them a couple of weeks ago(with a follow up last week) but have yet to receive any response.
BTW, awesome job editing. Avalon is one of my favorite reads on the site.
