So I'm on this giant classic Chinese novel kick, and what is the current SD Gundam storyline based on? Romance of the Three Kingdoms. 8D I REALLY WANT TO TRANSLATE IT, GUYS. <3
BUT FIRST I HAVE QUESTIONS
One can be answered by anyone who feels like giving their opinion:
The characters all use the same kanji in their names as their classic-novel counterparts, but due to linguistics the actual name is different. (i.e., Japanese Ryuubi is Chinese Liu Bei)
Should I use the name given in katakana, or the original novel's pinyin?
ETA: I'm all for pinyin (I'll even include notes on how to say them right! ), but I just realized I also need to know what to do with d00ds' names who are exclusive to SD!Sangokuden. D: Like this combiner - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BB_Sensh… - or any of the OCs who have no 'Character Basis'; should I try (and possibly fail horribly) at pinyin-izing the kanji name?
Ditto for attack names. =o Should I try to translate them?
Other questions (well, so far just one) that I'll eventually pose to MangaHelpers or somewhere, but posting here to collect them:
• What is "Nununu"? And what is its English equivalent? o_o;

Don't worry about Mary Sues, just write well
I really like this guy's definition: http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/121600
(If ponies having sex is not a thing you like to read about, then don't read past the line "Even when it's not balled up in a Mary Sue archtype, the very presence of this dissonance repulses you from a story, and that's what killed Hot Seed for me." Everything before it is about Sues.)
If you're too scared to touch words written by a clop-writer, the tl;dr is: a Mary Sue is not a particular collection of traits or even purple prose; it's the author engaging in gaslighting regarding a character for no good reason.
Seriously, friends, don't fret about whether your cha

While copying Hazel's story's draft onto the computer (I wrote it in notebooks!), I'm also doing some basic editing, like finding names for things. Like, I don't wanna use take names outright. The Dark Axis ship isn't merely the Musai, it's the Magna-Musai and the SDG's headquarters is Blanc Base, not White Base, etc
So the protagonists' ship in Advance of Z is the Aswan, which is the name of a dam in Egypt. So, okay, let's look at a list of African dams http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dams_and_reservoirs
Apparently Hazelmere Dam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazelmere_Dam ("Hazel Lake") is a thing. I won't use it, because that's TOO si
Guys, hey guys!
Remember this dude?!

Remember how I was like "he is part of a fanfic that I'm writing" and then I never updated that story?
I totally finished the rough draft yesterday! 8D
It's nowhere near presentable though, I mean most of it looks like this:
It's Kämpfer and Decimator-tachi.
Who aren't happy that Hazel-tachi aren't here! What are they, chicken.
And the core 'Force are like "what, are we not good enough"
And Kämpfer-tachi are like "NOPE"
And the Force are like ">:I"
And the K-tachi are like "Not that they're that good anyway OHHHHH"
And the Force are like ">>:I"
While there is a certain amount of comed
