Hello Quinloki,
I am a smallish author who has always stayed within her German bubble and has rarely ventured into the international arena. However, I recently joined Wattpad and AO3 and have immersed myself in the addictive world of international fanfiction. One Piece in particular has so much more to offer in the English-speaking world! This includes your stories, and I especially loved “Office Hours.” With Marco and Shanks as my favorite characters, your story definitely blew me away! And at the end, I sat there and suddenly felt a little frustrated. It took me a while to understand why, but then I realized that I would normally have shared a story as good as yours with my best friend, who would be just as blown away by it as I was. Unfortunately, her English isn't quite as good as mine and she would have a hard time reading something in English. So I was wondering if it would be okay with you if I translated your story into German? Basically, I could just do that privately and share it with her. Or I could offer to share it with you too, and you could also be represented on a German platform. It's probably quieter there than here, but I'm absolutely sure that a story like yours could also be met with enthusiasm there. I totally understand if you're not particularly interested in moving from the large international bubble to a definitely smaller German one, or if you have concerns because it's difficult for you to check my writing skills. So I have absolutely no hard feelings if you just don't want to do it. Otherwise, you can check me out on fanfiction.de under the name Mimabi. I've been there longer than I've been here.
Best regards
Mimabi
