Okay, so check this out: As I'm sure all of you remember, back in 2021 I had a short story, "Everybody Knows Your Name", published in East Of the Web, an online fiction magazine. The original short story is here:

And the post I made about it is here:

Not that you need to read the blog post, but I try to be thorough. Anyway, the story has been translated and republished ... in Romanian.
It has TOO. I have proof:

| Amazingly, my name in Romanian is the same as my name in English. |
Ha! Told you. The Senior Editor, a very nice man named Nicu Gecse, asked if I would allow the story on fictiuni.ro for their tenth anniversary issue. As you might imagined, I checked to make sure it's the real deal, and it is--they've even published an Isaac Asimov story.
"Everyone Knows Your Name" is the story of a time traveler whose first trip--as tends to happen with time travelers--doesn't go at all the way he planned. I love time travel stories, and I tried to make this one original, and ... maybe I succeeded. If not, I'll just go back to 1955 and try again.
So you people taking Romanian to get that language minor, here you go--enjoy! Of course, the story won't be a true classic until it's translated into Klingon.

Remember, if you ever go time traveling, take a good translation book with you.
I'm impressed! How many people can say they're published in Romanian? And who do you have to know?
ReplyDeleteThat's the really impressive part--I don't know anybody. Come to think of it, I should ask him how he found out about the story, in the first place.
