Sandra Giles - Author of the Collision Of Worlds series

[Sandra]

Ja, das ist gut.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Guten Morgan Sandra und Patti.

[Sandra]

Guten Morgen Gingerlily!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Auch ich finde es gut und richtig, ein eigenes Forum für Autoren zu starten, wie es auf amazon.com seit längerer Zeit existiert. Ich hatte das nicht gewusst (meine Englischkenntnisse lassen noch zu wünschen übrig) und wurde ermahnt, als ich bei einer hochinteressanten Diskussion zum Thema Titelbilder auf meine Werke verwies. Zum Glück hat einer der deutschsprachigen Teilnehmer mir erklärt, was ich falsch gemacht hatte. Einige weitere Teilnehmer haben sich trotzdem erbarmt und mir hilfreiche Tipps zu den Covern gegeben, die wir inzwischen umgesetzt haben.

[Sandra]

Just translated that and still didn't really understand. Good going!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Thats funny! I copied and pasted it from a thread on the german amazon forums...

[Sandra]

Oh, that would explain why it was completely out of context! Okay, I thought I was going crazy.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I wouldn't rule that out ;)

My german is fairly basic, so I had to cheat.

[Patti (baconater)]

Я думаю, что мы случайно следует перевести все из наших сообщений в потоке Sandras.

[Sandra]

Oi!

Ich heiße Sandra!

I took German for a couple of years and can't remember more than a couple of very simple phrases. Good going, no?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Patti must have put her new cleaner online.

My mother is german, so I should be fluent in it. Sigh...

[Sandra]

Mine is English, and I'm terrible at speaking the language, so don't worry about it!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Is there any language that you do speak fluently?

[Sandra]

I grunt and point pretty well.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I thought only teenagers knew that one.

[Sandra]

I have plenty of practice with my teenage niece.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I've just had a horrible thought. What will George be like as a teenager?

[Sandra]

I don't even want to think about it. *Shudder*

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I think we have nearly got those knock-out drops working. The last one had him out for all of 15 minutes.

[Sandra]

Wow, must be a record.

[David]

Monster cruelty

[Sandra]

There's no one to report it to. I've tried in the past.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Thats monsters being cruel to monsters. The rules are different.

[Sandra]

There are rules? I best look at those.

[David]

Is the the monster book of rules

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

The rules are buried in a magic chest at the bottom of a volcano. No-one knows which one.

[Sandra]

Ah screw it. I haven't been arrested so far.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

The police are consentrating on Marcus at the moment...

[Sandra]

That can only be good news for me.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

As long as he hasn't left any trails pointing at you...

[David]

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rules-Monster...

And it's in german.

[Sandra]

Anyone know a translator? Gingerlily, can you take a stab at it?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Do they have a translation in monster?

[Sandra]

Monsters speak regular languages. Well, I don't, because my parents didn't raise me properly.

This was on the second page! Ah no, that's no good!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Well get chatting then! There was a hollow echo in here...

[Sandra]

I can only chat for the rest of the day and then I'm not here for a week. What's my poor thread going to do without me?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

it will drift to the sludge at the bottom of the pool and get covered in silt until it's nowhere to be seen. Tragic...sniff, sniff....

[Sandra]

Noooo! That can't happen. The poor thing!

[David]

I'll pop in and try to lift it for you Sandra, although my own thread sinks rather rapidly.

[Sandra]

Phew, I'm leaving it in safe(ish) hands then.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Maybe they can buoy each other up.

[David]

We'll bind them together with rope and barrels of rum, as GL empties the barrels they'll float all the better.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

An excuse to empty barrels of rum? Count me in!

[Sandra]

Seems you've found the perfect solution!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Any solution in improved by adding rum.

[Sandra]

Sounds like you've had a head-start already.

[David]

I've not even lashed the barrels yet, GL, put it down.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

There! ooops, I put it down a bit too hard. Um, sorry...

[Sandra]

Look at this mess! Now I'm going to have to spend my evening clearing up. *Mutters*

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Here, I'll lick it up. can't waste good rum.
