yin_again, it's the best meme ever.
Take a block of text from one of your fics and translate it in Babelfish to some other language - any language. Then use Babelfish to translate it back to English, and post your results.
I picked the epilogue scene from Chiaroscuro, and omg excellent still laughing.
"Wanted to ask you a question," he finally said, low and soft, and Xander's eyebrows lifted.
"Couldn't have called? Maybe a telegram?"
"Wasn't one you could do with full stops, love."
"Oh." Xander filtered through possible questions in his mind and decided it was probably about money. Immediately, he had Spike's answer: yes. Absolutely. Anything he wanted. No questions asked. Expectantly, he waited.
Spike took a moment, then appeared to screw up his courage. "Remember the end of the night, when I was leaving? What you said to me?" Xander nodded. He'd always thought if he'd pushed harder, maybe Spike would have stayed, but he knew now that one wasn't meant to keep a creature like Spike locked up. He had to be free to do what he wanted, and men like Spike wanted danger, excitement, adventure...
"Was it a standing offer?"
"it wanted to ask you that a question,", he said finally, to low and switch, and the raised brows Xanders.
"couldn't have designated? Possibly a telegram?"
"was not in, which you could do with full notices, love."
"OH -." Xander filtered by possible questions in its understanding and decided it was supposed on money. Immediately it had answer of the top speed: yes. Absolutely. Everything, which it wished. No questions asked. Expectation-fully it waited. Point took one moment, then seemed, to up screw its courage.
"do you remember end of the night, when I left? Which you said to me?" Xander nodded. It would have always remained thought, if it were strongly pressed, possibly point, but it knew, now one was not meant there, in order to hold a creature like the point, which was locked above. It had to be free to do what it wished, and men such as point wished danger, excitement, adventure...
"were it a standing offer?"
Spike is now Point. And certainly not capitalized. But the funniest one, I think, is that Spike is now gender neutral. Bwee hee!
