Fallen Brides: Sasha — In Conclusion

pastebin

Well, there were actually a few fewer pages left than I remembered, so this updated concludes Sasha's chapter of Fallen Brides. It spends more time on what Lescatié looks like under monster rule than any of the other chapters so far, so that may be of interest to some of you. Otherwise it's all denoument. Like the other chapters, it gives the impression that the author was only interested in writing Elt's relationship with one woman (plus the two girls, in this case) and pays only grudging lip service to the idea that he theoretically ends up with all of them.

Next up will be either the next chapter, Primera's, which is written by Strange (who wrote Baphomet Complex) and called "Lonely in the Moonlight," or the short story from the end of World Guide I, which is by The Dullahan's Groom (who wrote Wilmarina's chapter) and has a titled I am still debating what to do with (literally, it's something like "Until She Falls Into [being a] Succubus"). The latter also deals with the events in Lescatié and is a little less than half the length of a chapter of Fallen Brides. If you would prefer I translate a short story from one of the other books (the two Diaries of the Age of Monster Love and Afterschool Alice Tale) next instead, feel free to leave a comment.

No ebook version of this chapter just yet because I'm working on editing the previous two chapters (especially Wilmarina's, which badly needs it) and releasing them together with improved formatting and a linked table of contents.

Also, as regards the image, (below, with the text) I have never been so infuriated by an artist's refusal to draw a man's eyes. Kenkou Cross is even willing to draw them for some nameless guys in the illustrations to the print edition of the encyclopedia, so I really can't imagine why they wouldn't do it for an actual character in an image printed after an entire paragraph about that character's eyes.

Fallen Brides: Sasha — The 10,000 Word Sex Scene, Concluded

Back as promised (first self-imposed deadline I've actually made in a while) with another 2,600 words. This update concludes the sex scene that has taken up slightly more than half of the story so far, but there are still another ten pages to go, so expect me back with some of that in another two weeks.

I also recently acquired a copy of the latest MGE novella by Strange, Imperator ha nemuranai. (The Imperator Doesn't Sleep) The only KC illustration is the cover, but it's about the same length as Baphomet Complex, or maybe a little shorter, so you can expect to see that at some point.

Fallen Brides: Sasha — Back From Thesis Hell

pastebin

So, it's been four months since my last update. Sorry. Really wasn't planning on that. I had a bit of computer trouble, then I really had to focus on my masters thesis, and then classes started up again, so I really didn't have any time to think about my translation projects. The thesis is done and handed in now, at least, so I can finally get back to work.

By way of apology, here's another 4,000-odd words of Fallen Brides. About two-thirds of the way through the chapter now. Expect actual regular updates for the first time in approximately forever, at least until the end of this chapter. After that I'll probably pause to work up a long section to start the next one before I post it again.

I'm trying out a slightly more domesticating style this time around, (moving speaker tags to where they would usually go in English, etc.) so let me know what you think.
