<.< >_< My first try... Spoiler for Day of Sagittarius: Genderbent Version. tentative first part.:
Thinking in a female mindframe was more difficult than expected. Anyway, I tried making Kyon-ko sound as someone who doesn't know about these types of games. I hope it works...

"Reached our level of manliness"
I lol'd. Asahina-sempai needs to take a level in badass. /EDIT Personally, I find the idea of a Kyonko well-versed in strategy games appealing. But that's just a me thing, i haven't given any thought as to whether it's, you know, applicable. Although Kyon, Yuuki and Itsuko need to be the only people who can actually fight, if I remember correctly. Haruki's too hotheaded and Asahina-san doesn't have enough badass levels. |

Well, Kyon might take that kind of fancy at Asakura up until Asakura tries to kill her.
@Jintor: I don't suppose staring at a computer monitor is painful to the point that you wouldn't continue on reading Haruhi, and take additional punishment as one bear with run-on sentences galore?

All I can say is, I hope you monkeys like my editjobs.
I praise Baka-Tsuki for, you know, actually translating these novels so I can enjoy them, but in many many ways their mode of writing causes me physical pain. @Panzerfan - Nah, the Haruhiism is too great. I was working on rewriting everything Baka-Tsuki did for the novels though... making them flow better... I've brought quite a bit of that to this project. In my initial run I stopped just after the Integrated Data Sentient Entity infodump because of a combination of Real Life and nobody on here giving a shit. : / (This whole GB thing is a way of getting me remotivated, to some degree. Also, Kaisos does most of the legwork. ) Last edited by Jintor; 2008-03-11 at 06:51. |

Kyonko getting fangirly seems like a good idea. Though I'd expect her to be just silent+dere-dere... But how about Asahina-kun? Should we give her two crushes? Or maybe just admiration for Asakura?
BTW, thanks for reminding me about the remaining elligible fighters, Jintor. But for now... if Kyonko won't be good in strategy games like in my initial draft, how does the idea of being a quick learner sound? Though considering all the practice rounds failed... Quote:
Then I'll just redo the paragraphing of my future works to be less Baka-tsuki slighty disjointed-like...

I've seen a YouTube video of a genderbending Haruhi, and I admit, and I being a straight guy, Kyon as a female is utterly attractive. >_<;;
I agree, too moe and cute to resist. XD They should do this for a second season instead-- switch the genders around and change the story a little bit. ^^;;; It would possibly make for an interesting show. |

I still prefer the pick-up-and-run-off-with method Haruki's got going there from the Kaisos job. Hair pulling is only good for the shorter trips, and even then Kyon's got to be thinking "ZOMG WHAT A JERK!"

I'm aware of that, yeah ^^
Thing was, I'd seen the ponytail thing and gone "ZOMFS MUST HAVE!" over it, and when I imagined Kyon-ko pulled BACKWARDS over a ways I went off in ZOMFS HILARITY mode and let it get the better of me. However, the "pick-up-and-run" mode was used once already, and I don't think it's that great to use such a thing more than once - at least not in such concession. Anyway, I'll do the editjob on it before I start on Ch2-2, which is, um, now. |

This is apart from the usual translation laments of the Japanese language being able to describe a reaction without mentioning who had that reaction. Entire paragraphs might consist of a single "Surprise." instead of a "He was surprised." in the same paragraph as the relevant action. So basically since I'm writing in English, I use English style conventions. Which means that I'm not as faithful to the translations as I probably should be, but it's a lot easier on the eyes for me.

I don't quite agree that Kyonko should have a crush on Asakura, since Kyon doesn't have one on Female Asakura. Yes, Kyonko would be happy if (Male) Asakura expresses interest in her, but if not, no big deal. If Kyonko does have a crush on Asakura, then there should probably be some mention given during the battle scene of the Hell Hath No Fury trope. I don't think Kyonko is the sort to take (perceived) betrayal lightly. Quote:

I think it's easier to just have Kyon-ko fangirling in general - she doesn't need to have romantic interest in a person in order for her instincts to kick in on HEAVY MODE. I mean - resisting Asakura-kun's dazzling bishie mode is impossible. Really. But there doesn't need to be any crushed heart in the whole thing, just the same surprising "I never ever thought he'd do something like this" thing as the original. On the others; In my CosRaep writejob i had Kyon-ko go into a slight shota-fangirlish mode over Maid-Mitsuuru, just to have something that way - don't think it's going to work in the long shot, though, so it's probably better to have her gain interest as time goes, both for him, but more importantly, Nagato-kun, as he gradually gains emotions outwards. Oh and also, Editjob on the ponytail thing, GET. Nothing else has been done though, as I'm moving on to the next part now. |

She's going to be thinking a bit worse then "ZOMG WHAT A JERK!" really. I'd be surprised if she was even willing to help him at all, getting your hair pulled already hurts like hell when its short, if its longer it only hurts more.

Well, it's true that short hair-pull hurts a LOT. However in my experience long hair isn't as bad (and I'm pretty sure I can judge that fairly, since I have a ponytail the length of Kyon-ko's of my own), and with a ponytail it's even less - from what I know, just pulling a few hairs hurts FUCKSHIT BAD, while many is actually possible to stand for a short while. Plus it's not like he'd pull her by it for itself - she's walking along quite much (wisely enough) as well. Plus, shock and exhaustion prevents her from giving much of a ZOMFS JERK reaction - besides, doesn't she pretty much think of him like that already, anyway?

"Dear Diary,
Don't you hate how long it takes for your hair to dry? I swear, I want a quick five minute shower, and it takes like forever for my hair to look acceptable. Should I try something new today, diary? Minoru would be certain to notice if I tried pigtails instead of the usual ponytail. But, that is like so much more effort! Did you hear of that school dance coming up, diary? I really really want Minoru to ask me to it, and if not, I may try to ask. But Itsuko warned me against going to it with anyone other than Haruki. Something about the world ending again. Gah! Why can't I live the life of a normal girl! If you like Haruki so much, Itsuko, just ask her yourself! Don't pull me into your drama! Oh, and you should have seen Yuuki today! He was, like, SO out of order. His tie was crooked, his hair was a mess, and he seemed so asleep! It was just too cute! Do even aliens get drunk, or does he have something else up his sleeve? Now, if you excuse me, my brother is knocking really loudly against the door. He must want to play baseball or something. But, why baseball in the winter? Can't he just stay inside and knit or something? And, why does he always have to walk in on me when I'm doing "that"? Sincerely, Kyon-ko"

One of them big downsides with having long hair; that you'll need at least an hour for it to get dry, or a marathon with the hair-dryer... |

I'm erring on the side of making Haruki not so much of a jerk that Kyonko just ups and leaves him, especially before she discovers the bit about him being a Reality Warper. I mean, I've never quite figured out why Kyon didn't just say "no way", unless either he has no objections to the concept of Girls Treating Guys Like Dirt, or he just didn't think about it. (Or maybe he's just thinking about Haruhi's looks rather than her personality.)
If nothing else, at least have Kyonko not remember that Haruki is a jerk. This is one reason why I had Itsuko pay for the drinks in my version of the SOS Brigade's day out, since now Kyonko will remember that day as "Haruki was a jerk, but no harm done" rather than "Haruki was a jerk, causing me actual material loss". It's not logical, but humans (male and female) seldom are. Ponytail-pulling works just once, for a very short while, before Kyonko recovers from the shock that someone would actually do such a thing. After that, never again. - Random: I'm trying to figure out another part of the novels to convert, and I'm kind of drawing a blank. Should I range outside of volume 1? Should I start with what has already been converted by others? How much can I change of the canon before someone cries foul? |
