Worst mood ever. So, a meme!

Some strange, twisted genius has invented Translation Party, a site that translates your text from English to Japanese and back, and back, and back, until it reaches an equilibrium where the translations are stable.

From the inestimable shocolate , and the dead sexy florahart , comes a meme. Throw in the first lines of 10 of your fics. Theoretically your most recent, but in my case that would involve being able to find a few of them on my lj. Oh hush, that's nothing, ask me where my left riding boot is. (At least there I am reasonably sure that Monster the cat has taken it somewhere private for a cuddle.)

Excellent! Exactly right, I say!


The first time I told Remus that I loved him, I had already stopped trusting him.
Of Great Price

Nothing! In fact, the warning ‘It is doubtful this phrase will ever reach equilibrium’ flashed up. The last in the long list was:
Remus and I, the first pit stop, trust me, he will not stop the love already been suspended.

Seven years had been long enough to make Harry believe it was all right.
For the Public Good
Becomes:

Well, seven might be enough to persuade anyone, really.


“Is that it?”
Snatched
Becomes:
“Is that it?”
That's more like it! Editorial consistency!


It was, without doubt, the strangest Owl that Harry had ever received.
Beneath Boundless Skies
Becomes:
So far, definitely weird owls, Harry had been.
Which will happen if one experiments with amateur Polyjuice, among other potions.


You see him there, in the arms of his mother, his father leaning down over both of them.
An Act of Simple Devotion
Becomes:
This system showed a tendency of both the mother's father under the arms.
I am not sure what this means, but suspect it could work as a fetching deodorant commercial in the right hands.


When Scorpius Malfoy is five years old, it occurs to him that he should have four grandparents, not three.
Sins of the Fathers
Becomes:
Nothing! In fact, the warning ‘It is doubtful this phrase will ever reach equilibrium’ flashed up. The last in the long list was:
Last year, seven days or 23 years, his grandparents experienced people Scorpio 2 5 Marufoi 4.
Is it me? I try to be clear and easy to follow ... Maybe it's a code, in deference to my passion for maths?


Harry Potter closes the door and leans back against it for a long moment, looking down at the rug, a smile glimmering at the edges of his mouth.
Fathers Who Could Do With A Spot of Sinning
Becomes:
Harry Potter and the lean flame, delay, and at the bottom of the door, smiling into his mouth, but shut down the system approach.
Which I think may be the lyrics to an early Nine Inch Nails song ...


I am not surprised to see him there, beside me.
Albus Dumbledore: The Musical
Becomes:
Nothing! In fact, the warning ‘It is doubtful this phrase will ever reach equilibrium’ flashed up. The last in the long list was:
Next year, he is please, I was amazed to shoot.
Not again! Woe! Though this is the least sensical thing I have written, so fair enough ...

These Fragile Bonds (GB’s Story)
Becomes:
Here, the cold
Ooh, I quite like that! It sounds like something from a Saga, and as though it should be followed with 10,000 lines of Viking propaganda.
