According to some people I have a weird accent in all three. :) So since this is a very, very short fic I did an impromptu reading/translation to my regional dialect of Swedish, which would be what I'm most comfortable speaking. Of course it isn't quite natural since I'm still reading a fic, but at least it's pretty close. That being said:

Thanks. I don't really think most people will care. But it was kind of fun to do anyway. :)

Oooh, podfic in Swedish. This isn't my fandom at all. I don't even know what fandom this is. But I was curious. And since it was so short I decided to listen to it, and I wanted to say that I love your Swedish accent. :D

Thank you so much! I don't think anyone's ever complimented me on how my Swedish sounds before. :D

I'd love to read more podfic in Swedish, but I've not really come across much of anything in the fandoms I'm in. Then again maybe I haven't really been looking that hard. XD

:D

I got kind of tempted to try and record podfic in Swedish. But then realized that I have no idea where one would find fanfic in Swedish to read. And I'm not really that tempted to write any. Or translate existing fic for that matter. XD

I know there's some on ff.net, at least in some fandoms. But the quality isn't always... well it's ff.net and I'm not necessarily feeling up to the task of going through a lot of crap to find something I think is worth recording.

The thing is though, I like translating things too, so I wouldn't mind doing that (at least for shorter fics anyway), but while Swedish is my mother tongue I'm not exactly that confident in writing it these days.

I don't think anyone is ever up to the task of wading through ff.net in search of decent fic. Though it is news to me that they have fic in Swedish. Did not know that. I know that I've heard of a completely Swedish fanfic site but it was years and years ago. And it might not exist anymore if it ever existed...

I think my biggest problem with translating is that so many times I would go "but this sounds so awesome in English there is no way I can make it sounds just as good in Swedish2. But I'm not that good at translating either. XP

And well, I hear you on not feeling confident in writing in Swedish. It's my mother tounge, I live in Sweden. It should not be this hard! But I think in English and that makes it really hard to write in Swedish. XP Which means that a lot of the time it ends up with me switching between the two languages.

Sometimes when I'm very, very bored I will attempt browsing ff.net. It is something of an excersise in masochism... Mostly I've seen a few Swedish fics in the anime/manga fandoms (which I'm not really into) and I think Harry Potter has quite a lot, but one thing I don't feel like doing is wade through the HP fanfics on ff.net (even I'm not that masochistic).

And of course the translation never ends up saying the exact same thing as the original, which is why I'm hesitant to translate anything else than my own fic. Because what if I end up interpreting it wrong? Or it just doesn't do justice to the original?

Oh, yeah. I speak three languages and manage to mix them together pretty well. XD And part of the problem is that these days I write more in English than I do either of the other two.
