We get a lot of stories written in German, and since I don't know German, I've been forced to place most of them on hold until I can know for sure what is being said.

I'd like to change that by asking if anyone would be interested in helping edit the German stories that we get. You would basically read the story and decide if it should be approved or rejected and do whatever you decide. Obviously you have to be able to read German.

There are basically two things that I ask:

1. You must edit all stories written in German. You will not edit only the one or two categories you like the most.

2. There will be absolutely no making a decision to approve/reject based on any personal like/dislike or other personal feelings about the story. You will only base your decision on whether it meets the guidelines.

Anyone who is interested should either reply to this thread or e-mail me at plix@eunuch.org.

... I would take this opportunity to reiterate my (long-ago, long forgotten) request for paid volunteers to translate some really good looking german stories in the archive...

I've read them via google translation and of course, that basically sucks .

Anyway I'd certainly entertain paying via paypal or some such vehicle for someone to translate certain stories and just re-post them to the storyboard. If, of course, that falls within the rules, which it may well not.

I've no idea what such a service is worth but I'd surely ante-up to a pool to support such work.

If the above is acceptable to the powers-that-be, do let me know!

Stefan
