i have lots of love for translators in general because i study languages but when it comes to my own fics i just don't like the loss of control that comes with someone taking my work and translating it and posting it somewhere else and then it's out there and there's nothing i can do because what if i change my mind and they think i'm a bitch for wanting it deleted what if i want to take down the og fic or change it and then there's this another version floating around and what if it's translated horribly and doesn't get my point across. idk. i used to let people do it and i've only felt sick about it even if the anxiety is unfounded. there are plenty of people commenting on my fics in different languages which makes me think they might also be helping themselves with translators as they read so. if someone wants to read it then they can read it like that #sorry
