Hi, secret forum! How are you doing? I hope you're doing fine. Today I'm starting my vacations at last. My laptop is glitchy, my other computer scrowls on its own and whenever I'm typing the word "B" my text disappears. Anyway, against all odds, I've carried on with it the best I could. And I had a lot of fun with the fascinating adventure of writing.
I've had a blast translating my favourite fanfic and introducing to you that beautiful story written in Spanish and so you've discovered it as I did years ago. This summer I aimed to finish my TBTTB English editing but NO WAY, I couldn't review the whole saga in only three months. I still gotta edit the last three books. A long way to go. But well, I hope I will finish it within a reasonable time.
Luckily I got already completed my next project and I will introduce it to you tomorrow. As I usually do I will tell you about my post planning. Three chapters a week; Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
You will know about all the details tomorrow morning. Here it goes my sneak peek; the leading character is someone called Freddie and it's a love story (....) Oookay, such shitty clues, jejeje. But those will have to do for the time being.
So if you want to know a little bit more, we got a date tomorrow early in the morning Spanish time. Like always, I'm waiting for you...

Hola, señores lectores en español. Mi saga TBTTB en idioma castellano se encontraba bastante adormecida y apenas tenía lectores pero he de decir que de un tiempo a esta parte mis 9 libros sobre Queen y más concretamente Freddie, han sufrido un "revival", jejeje. De lo cual me alegro un montón porque esta serie fue concebida en mi idioma natal.
Como el grueso de mis lectores se encuentra en el idioma anglosajón, lo cierto es que dejé de postear capitulos en castellano hace algunos años y me quedé a las puertas de terminar de publicar el libro 6.
Ahora mismo estoy con tres proyectos a la vez y no tengo todo el tiempo del mundo pero os prometo que en algún momento volveré a postear todos los que me quedan. Tened paciencia conmigo. No me olvidaré de mis lectores latinoamericanos.
Muchas gracias por vuestras copiosas lecturas. Me hace mucha ilusión, en serio.

Hola! Primero que nada, qué bello encontrar alguien hispanohablante, que escriba fanfics en inglés… encontré a mi gente jajajaja porque yo también lo hago. Segundo, veo que te gusta Queen y actualmente estoy escribiendo un fic sobre Brian May. Ya tengo algunos publicados de hace años y ahora estoy escribiendo la continuación. Eres mas que bienvenida a leerlos, espero que sean de tu agrado!
Pd: me encanta tu contenido <3

@freddiesdear Es una razon muy plausible para mantenerlo tal cual esta, si. Yo es que soy demasiado perfeccionista, soy la reina de la edicion, jejeje. Muy pesada, realmente. Creo que deberías subirlos en el idioma original, estaría muy bien. Si has echado un vistazo mi saga de TBTTB tiene la dualidad del español y el ingles. Tengo publicados en mi idioma original hasta el libro 6 de la saga porque realmente no tengo lectores en español, así que me centro en publicar en ingles que es donde tengo unos poquitos mas.

Muchas gracias! Los últimos dos libros son más recientes y hasta yo me doy cuenta que tienen otro tipo de redacción dado que mi inglés se ha ido perfeccionando con los años.
Realmente no me gustaría tocar los dos primeros porque forman parte de una época de mi vida en donde me atreví a hacer algo que era muy revelador para mi, y forman parte de una "joven yo" que inició todo esto, no se si me he explicado bien... Tienen ese no se qué, una nostalgia...
Solo he editado algunas fechas que estaban mal, pero no edité la escritura.
Aún así sería lindo subirlos en idioma original... Tienes alguna opinión respecto a eso? Veo que tus obras son todas en inglés como yo, no has traducido ninguna?

Hi, secret forum, it's been barely one week since I posted the last chapter of TBTTB and it feels like a lifetime. Withdrawl symptoms, I guess jejeje.
Well, as I've told you before I will be engaged in posting the book that inspired me to write my series. So it's a way to keep the spirit of Eli and Freddie with me a little bit longer and a good bridge till my next project that it's already fresh baked. There will be more original material in the near future, trust me.
For the time being I will be a translator of that work. The author is a fabulous Spanish and I fell in love with her story 6 years ago now. If you make the same trip that I did that will be an interesting experience to me. Parallel trips and all that.
Well, my schedule posting will be daily. You've heard me well . So it's a déjà vu for me. Again daily postings like in the early days. Nutcase? Hmmm, yesss, jejeje.
If you have loved my Freddie, I'm sure that you will love Katherine's Freddie. I did. And surely you will love Leena, the female leading character.
We can meet up every day, always depending on my schedule work. Early in the morning or siesta time Spanish hour. I don't know yet how many chapters I will publish every day. Taking into account the lenght of them.
Tomorrow I will post the foreword and the first chapter. Early in the morning Spanish hour. Feel free to comment anything with me from reader to reader, from Queen freaky to Queen freaky if you feel like it. I'm waiting for you.
LOVE
Marta

@QueensFrontman I'm glad I'm not alone with that funny feeling, Barbara, jejeje. And thank you always for your kind words. Well, this transition period before I introduce to you my next project will involve obviously not my writing, but Katherine's approach. But I think it's interesting because I'm showing you how 6 years ago and reading this, something dawned on me to create my own bizarre universe. The translation is a delicate work that I never take for granted. But no matter how hard I try, as I have said myself to the author, I surely killed a bit her original essence. Funnily enough, it happens to me now that I'm in the middle of my editing process with TBTTB, it feels like a different book when I read it in my original language. Well, the wonderful mystery of words. Anyway, I tried to keep Katherine's book as faithful to that essence that captivated me as I could. That's the challenge but it's so much fun. After all, this story is about FEELINGS. What else can keep us invested as readers than something that can touch our hearts?

Well, I guess everybody knows by now the surprising news about the next Lesley Ann Jones upcoming Freddie Mercury's book and his paternity. I make an appeal. Please, somebody gotta write that book because there's a potentially great story out there.
Will somebody write that book for me? If not, I will have to write it myself, jejeje. ; )
QueensFrontman
@martaqs well, that is a hint if ever I heard one!!! Please go for it!!! I will be hoping and watching for an announcement in the near future!

@QueensFrontman Wow, thank you, dear!! It certainly got a lot of potential and it's very tempting to sink my teeth into that. And you know... I'm too weak to resist temptations ; )

@WISHFUL-THINKER10 I agree with you about LAJ. Her writing is BS, and I know of several other Freddie fans who feel the same way.

Okay, I'll show you mine and you show me yours. Friday is a date with our respective Freddies.

Hi, secret forum!! I thought that after the massive power cut we got in Spain, Portugal and south of France this last Monday, no electricity, no Internet, no phone line, I wouldn't be able to post for the first time in 5 years. Luckily everything went back to normal after some hours of blackout.
This first Friday of the month will be my last bonus track. The next few weeks I will post 4 chapters and the epilogue and TBTTB will be officially finished on 3rd June.
But for now here you got chapter 110 "Reach for the stars". I really hope you like it and if you don't you can always shoot me with your poisoned arrows. I will try to stay afloat the best I can, jejeje
TOMORROW EARLY in the morning Spanish hour we got a date.
Enjoy... Or whatever.

@ WISHFUL-THINKER10 Creo que estás expresando los deseos de muchas/os de nosotras/os, querida Arlene.

Hi, secret forum!! My bonus track, my usual post every first Friday of the month since such a while, is on its way. I'm carefully putting the finishing touches to chapter 105 "Tu voz penetra en mi" and I can't wait to share it with you. Tons of love and drama. What else?
Tomorrow early in the morning Spanish hour. We got a date with Freddie and Eli, my beloved couple. Could you resist? I hope you won't.
Enjoy... or whatever.
martaqs
@WISHFUL-THINKER10 Yes, Carolyn is an excellent addition to my secret forum. Such a wonderful queenie.
