I'm totally shocked!

My LJ's instructions have just turned Hungarian overnight. Without me asking for it. Obviously, the LJ people adjusted it to my current dwelling place.

It's actually annoying. I'm used to the English expressions, and everything turned in Hungarian confuses me to no end. Why can't people just leave me alone?

On another matter: Buffy- and Sean bean fans might want to read this:

James Masters sounds like a really nice guy in private.

At least they can't possibly turned it into Indonesian. Is it just me or we're both more accustomed to English than our first written language? ( my first spoken language is Chinesse, but until now I still can't read or write anything but my name)

Actually, my main trouble was that while the headers were turned into Hungarian, the rest of the thing remained English, and the two things together were very confusing. Besides, Netspeak in Hungarian is a horror first grade.

Other than that, I do use Hungarian in everything but fanfic. The only reason for writing fanfic in English is the fact that the originals (both Tolkien and my favourite TV shows) are English. If I found a German show I liked, I'd write fanfic in German.

While I'm not sure I entirely agreed with James' thoughts on Spike as a character, as I dislike Spike for entirely different reasons than he does, I think it'd be interesting to see him in another role.

Do you know who Sean Bean is going to play in that movie?

No, I'm sorry, I don't anything else than it's in that interview.

So, you don't like Spike? Interesting. I like him a lot. But again, I'm knee-deep into vampire stuff, so that's probably not so surprising. *g*

Well, I liked Spike when he was with Drusilla. In the latest season, though, I stopped liking him. Say, what season are you in right now? I'm not sure if I should say more about new plot developments if you haven't seen it yet... At any rate, his character changed too much, and I just don't find walking doormats attractive or interesting. It's a pity his character turned out that way.

I'm in Season 7. And I totally agree with you that they practically ruined his character.

In my vampire crossower AU he never falls in love with Buffy. I found the whole thing totally ridiculous. I mean, I could understand Angel falling in love with her up to Season 3, but Buffy seems to have suffered serious brain damage from season 4 on. And her character continued to degrade.

One of the most ridiculous episodes of Season 4 was the one with Dracula, IMO. I hated that so much that I started to re-write the whole thing, as part of the crossover series.

Actually, I thought his initial falling in love with Buffy wasn't too bad. That is, before he turned into sighing-pining-lover-boy, and she turned into an emotionally abusive bitch.

As for the one with Dracula, hee! I actually found that one really amusing. Ridiculous, yet amusing. Starstruck slayers and slayerettes - doesn't get funnier than that. *g* I always watch that when I need a good laugh, but I think you're right, maybe it went a bit overboard in the tongue-in-cheek department.

Why Hungarian? And how frustrating!!I hope you get it fixed soon.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I guess they are adjusting the language to the dwelling place of the users. And since I *do* live in Hungary...

But I wrote them and they pointed out to me how to change everything back to English. So I did it. It was highly confusing, because only the headers were in Hungarian, most of the rest remained English, and it was a schyzophrenic feeling to jump languages every new line or so.

Buffy vs Dracula

Oh, but you should see what *I* made out of that particular episode! I combined it with White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade and turned the whole thing upside down.

I "demonstrated" why the visiting guy couldn't have been Dracula in the first place, made a theory how he really was and built a connection between the Order of Aurelius and Clan Lasombra. *g*

Unfortunately, I haven't got beyond Chapter 2 so far, and as ff.net has crashed again, even those aren't available at the moment.

Well, that explains why Hungarian! I can only imagine the frustration on seeing the lanuage change all the time!! Just get used to reading one, and it changes. Pleased you have it fixed!
