That's kind of the point of this thread, to improve. :P

Like a cat, I have come slinking back to this wonderful thread in search of a temporary home. In a rare moment of inspiration I simply HAD to write this:

WARNING: Potentially heavy stuff depressing stuff goin' on in here, stay back if you're emotionally fragile!

Anyways, I would really appreciate criticism on this piece, developmentally it means alot to me, even if it's terribad. Anyways, I don't really know how to classify such a piece, but I hope you found it... stimulating!

I hope I didn't make you feel too bad! If I did sorry!

Anyways, didn't mention it when I posted: I read your piece mcclay, and it was awesome! I was really sucked in by the action there, really nice description of the fight scene and the weird transformation/staying human scene!

I feel like translating poems, but I'm as always worried about the quality and whether anyone even will read it >_<

...Vector apparently co-wrote a book doing just that. Have at it!

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.

And you're essentially Korean-Vector-pre-university.

Translate them. We'll enjoy reading them.

^ This so much :<

I've promised myself to get back on the stories here..despite a long and unannounced hiatus due to RL work.

Also I've personally seen those translations. They're real touching, those poems...well, for me given how art and literature seems to be my loves. XD

Quote from: Birds — Park Namsu
1
In the rapids of the winds
laid in the sky, or
in the shade of a tree
which whispers and rustles, birds
sing. Even though they do not know it is song.

Even though birds do not know it is love
A pair of birds nestle
their beaks to the other's shoulder,
and share each other's warmth.

2
Birds do not create
meaning by singing.
They do not pretend to flirt
They do not fake love.

3
—Though the hunter aims a lump of lead
at the pureness of the birds,
he always shoots
merely a blood-soaked reflection of a bird.

Nice poetry Sky... or translated poetry or whatever.

I'm feeling frustrated with computer issues right now, so I'm thinking about blowing off some steam on writing something that I came up with while lying awake in bed last night (I have a lot of ideas that come to me while suffering insomnia).

So pull up a chair, or since you're probably sitting in a chair already make yourself comfortable or whatever.

I've got a hazy idea of some continuation, but that's really all I can be asked to write tonight.
