Author has written 11 stories for Naruto, Harry Potter, Mulan, and Secret Garden.

Tout d'abord, une promesse - je ne mettrai jamais sur le site une histoire que je n'ai pas déjà fini d'écrire ou de traduire, parce que j'ai tendance à lâcher les choses en cours de route. Je ne traduirai jamais d'histoire encore incomplète.

A promise first - I will never post an unfinished story, be it written or translated, because I tend to abandon stories after a few pages. I will not translate an unfinished story either.

I mostly read fanfiction in English, because the section in this language is - by far - the best-stocked in stories. As a native French speaker, I do however notice a certain amount of common mistakes concerning french words which were adapted to the english language, and the main problem is the distinction between feminine and masculine nouns. The most common mistake I've encountered is the distinction between "fiancé" and "fiancée". As the additional "e" indicates a feminine in most cases, a fiancé is a man and a fiancée is a woman.

But what prompted me to write this was another mistake, one I have found in smut: people who don't want to write "orgasm" - or can't because they've already employed the word in the same sentence - sometimes default to "the little death". Which is completely correct, unless they want to write it in French and end up forgetting their "e"s.

"Le petit mort" means "the small dead male"

"La petite morte" means "the small dead female"

"La petite mort" means "the little death"

Now I really hesitated posting this, but this particular mistake adds a slight flavour of necrophilia to porn, which can be quite disturbing (or hilarious depending on story and writing style). So please spread the word!
