Er, this is possibly the geekiest thing I have ever done.
A while ago I posted a snippet with the due South pilot told in the style of Tolkien's Silmarillion. And now I have translated it to Quenya. Yes, I actually spent a summer about ten years ago learning Quenya, although I had to look up most of the vocabulary and grammar again to do this. Thanks to fellow geek![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
bghost for taking a look at the translation!
Hmm, I wonder why there is no fic in Quenya on the AO3 already? I sent a support request asking them to add it as a language so I could list this as a translation, which they said they'd do. But I'd have expected someone who actually writes in Tolkien fandom to have done it before this. Also, I'm totally going to podfic this just so that the audiofic archive can have a tag for Quenya. *g*
