In my dreaming, you'll be drowning
My story "The Depth Oracle," originally published in Sirenia Digest #8 and since reprinted in Best New Romantic Fantasy 2, has been selected for translation and reprint in Martin Šust's Trochu divné kusy 3. This will be the first time any piece of mine has been translated into another language. I can sing "Měsíčku na nebi hlubokém," but I cannot read Czech. Now I want to learn.

Many, many congratulations! And (in my opinion, at least) getting translated into a reasonably lesser-used language is particularly nifty.

Thank you!

Absolutely.

Czech looks so fun in print. I bought Czech language CDs a while ago and need to sit down and use them.

I could ask you to double-check the translation!
(. . . Okay, I'm not sure that's an incentive.)

Czech sounds lovely--I'd like to learn it, but there are so many others that I want to learn first. Or to keep up with better than I do.

You're just exhausted my total knowledge of Gaelic. : P

"You're welcome!"
*(Well, actually it's more like "Good woman!," which isn't actually often said, in my experience, but I thought "Good girl!" would be a bit presumptuous, and every other idiom I could think of at the moment was either not right or something that I started questioning as to whether it was right or just something floating round in my own head. I tend to speak most languages about as eccentrically as I speak this one, just not as fluently.)

Congratulations, and welcome to the club!

Thank you! And thank you again for publishing the story in the first place.

Also, that song has been bopping around in my head since Friday when a co-worker played it at work.
I guess there are some things to be said for my office.

That title beats Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report hands down. Congratulations. "The Depth Oracle" is a way-cool story, even in English.

I don't know. There's a certain deadpan cachet to that one.

There's someone on my friends list who's Czech; she could read your story in translation
That totally brightens my evening.

Sanada Yukimura, my favorite character from Samurai Deeper Kyo. He's (rather loosely) based on an actual historic character who was known as a peerless military strategist with an unfortunate weakness for backing lost causes. In SDK, he's a flirtatious trickster with a heart of gold. (He's in this icon too, and in an couple of others as well ... .)
