Ooo! Congrats on the translation thing! That's kind of freaking cool when that happens! And it's another one I didn't even think about, but should maybe go on the Permissions. It's been a while, but I think it was The Last that was translated? And she did link back to my original post and link me as requested, but yeah, I couldn't read a lick of it in Chinese. Hehehe.
And, yeah. I definitely feel a little funny, even after discussing it all day and thinking about it. Though one of the most ridiculous things happens to the artists I know. They get this 'well I didn't know I couldn't use your art for my own reasons. why didn't you say so?!' So while as writers we don't as often face that issue, if we stick our wishes out there, no one can say we didn't tell them.
Besides, I bet you never expected someone to want to translate your story into a different language. ^_^ Someone really might want to play in your sandbox someday. Not that we owe them a post instead of making them ask or fore-go that playing, but I figure it's a handy solution for me.
