My French is rusty, and seeing it on your journal makes me so nostalgic! Je vous aime! Wow, I am seriously struggling and don't want to embarrass myself, so, in English (I'm so sorry): Thank you for this post and the courage it takes to put something like this up. It is brilliant.

Also, seriously, I had the biggest heart clutch when I saw all the French; would you mind if I followed you? I'd love to see French on my dwircle from time to time. ♥

[flo_nelja]

Thank you very much! Wow, I didn't expect replies by people I don't know! Of course you can follow me! (we'll always find some fandoms in common)

[kate]

Haha, it's been really surprising, hasn't it? Me too with all the replies. :D

[analise010]

I don't speak French at all, but I loved seeing you do it. Finding so many different people is amazing. :)

[flo_nelja]

Thank you! You're awesome!

[alexcat]

Not a follower but sending some love along anyway - Virtual hugs to you and have a wonderful day!

[flo_nelja]

All the same to you! *virtual hugs* It's nice of you (and brave, it's hard for me), talking when we don't know each other!

I love your icon, it's so cute!

[aoifes_isle]

much ♥!

(and it always surprises me just how much french I've retained when I see it written down, and seeing it has reminded me I have a french alchemical text to go back to working through so thank you.)

[flo_nelja]

Alchemical text? Sounds interesting! What it is about? And by whom?

Much ♥ to you ! And yeah for people learning French as a second language!

[aoifes_isle]

It's "Alchemie: Nouvelles etudes diverses de Symbolisme hermetique et de pratique philosophale." The author is Eugene Canseliet.

(And the diacretics are missing in several places because I am win at fail tonight)

Loads of love for doing the toughest snowflake challenge! ♥ ♥

[flo_nelja]

Thank you! I didn't expect all this love!

[angrboda]

I don't understand French, but well done for doing this! ♥ ♥ ♥

[flo_nelja]

Thank you very much! ♥

[akamine_chan]

I'm always impressed by people who speak more than one language! That alone makes you awesome in my book, but I'm sure there are lots of other reasons you rock. <3

[flo_nelja]

Thank you! One of the multiple reasons you rock is how you let nice words for everyone in this challenge.

You like Discworld???? My French isn't good enough to read your posts on the subject, I'm afraid but it's obviously something we have in common as I adore the Discworld and have a real fondness for Rincewind and The Luggage! So you're obviously a pretty awesome person :)

I do have all the books too. My television fandom is Stargate Atlantis which I've been in pretty exclusively for the past few years, although it doesn't stop me from interacting with people in other fandoms either!

*Hugs*

[flo_nelja]

Yay, Discworld! I love the books. I have always wanted a Luggage just for myself. Rincewing is cool! I also love Death, and Vimes, and Vetinari, and some secondary characters like Eskarina and Dorfl.

*hugs*

I have many fandoms, but unfortunately Stargate is not one of them.

Driveby love from a stranger!

[flo_nelja]

Thank you! Love to you! You certainly have a good username!

[sharpiefan]

My French is far too rusty to be relied upon to get across what I want to say. Mais, merci pour votre courage.

I think you are incredible as a person for taking part in this challenge.

[flo_nelja]

Thank you! You're an incredible person too! Many thanks to you!

[alisanne]

So very brave! Many hugs for that. :)

[flo_nelja]

Thank you! You're so brave and so nice for coming and saying hello to someone you don't know!

[elmyraemilie]

Just stopping by your journal with a little ♥ !

[flo_nelja]

♥ for you too, and yay, penguin icon!

[ceitfianna]

Your default icon is from Changeling, that's amazing and wonderful. You're great for doing this and reaching out.

[flo_nelja]

Thank you! Yeah, there are few people who are still fans of Changeling: the Dreaming. Even for those who know it, Changeling: the Lost is more populare these days, from what I've seen. Do you still play?

You're great too!

[ceitfianna]

Sadly no, the closest to playing I've done is I have this original character who's a Changeling that I play in sandboxes. Tiwa, piwakawaka who was inspired by my living in New Zealand and missing Changeling.

I'd love to get back into it as I've run larps and tabletop and its probably one of my favorite RP worlds. One reason that certain versions of Fae in books and shows work better for me are if they remind me of Changeling and the focus on balance.

Same for me! Which books and shows would you recommend?

[ceitfianna]

The October Daye books by Seanan McGuire, anything by Charles de Lint, Diana Wynne Jones especially the Magid series, Maggie Stievfater-Raven Cycle and Scorpio Races, Jim Hines and that's just off the top of my head. I'd have to go into my Goodreads to find more.
