I've had Spanish for quite a while, and I'm getting quite good at translating Spanish-English. The reverse takes a little more work, but I would be happy to do that as well. Plus, I need the practice.

...I could be useful (a bit) when it comes to your friend...I've had Spanish drilled into my head for two years going on three, so I could be helpful. And it'll help me learn, as well.

I kinda-sorta fanperson some of mine, but not in a Lust Object way.
About the closest I came to that was with an RP character of mine, after the GM had put him through hell again and again and again with no real pauses. Since I was focusing on keeping him IC with the personality I'd given him, I started feeling protective. The 'wrap them in a blanket and hide them from more suffering' feeling I tend to get when a fictional character I have some sort of empathy for suffers; and I sort of needed to understand what he'd be feeling/thinking in order to play him right.
However, I never actually took him out of the game or any other means of stopping it all. I kept playing him, after taking a short break IRL to get my perspective back.

I create characters I squee over, but lusting after them ... I can't imagine doing so. ('Tis partly why I didn't want to get involved in the agentslash fad with my own two - pairing a character I publicly admit is my avatar with another character I created just creeps me out a tad. That and I noticed some eerie similarities between my agents and a couple in a webcomic I read, which I hadn't started reading when I made them, so I didn't want to make them any more similar to this webcomic couple by making *them* a couple ... that made better sense in my head.)

As to the first, I'd say it'd be a lot of work and very difficult for both parties. If any Boarders speak Spanish you could ask them to write their posts twice (as in, one under the other) but to translate what's already there would be complex and time consuming. You could certainly try, but I think you, Ciri, would have to do a lot of it.

Perhaps you and your friend could go online together and you could read it aloud to him, and type in English for him?

Also, it could be very hard to translate the excessive word jokes. I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but I think it would be very hard.


As to the second... Yeah, weird. Not bad, but weird. At least to me.

Lusting over a character you invented yourself would be, um, a little weird. I mean, fantasies are all well and good, but they don't actually need sharing with the world, which is effectively what you'd be doing if you created a character and then lusted after him/her/it.
