I'm transliterating one of Chuck Tingle's books into Shavian

submitted by
The cover of Chuck Tingle's book, "Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Theater of Love", with text in Latin English script. The cover depicts a beautiful woman with round glasses and a glowing wand in the center foreground. Around and behind her, there's a handsome parasaurolophus, a handsome box of cereal, a dastardly snake, a beautiful knight, and some landscape stuff to indicate it's set in Las Vegas. The sky is all vibrant greens and blues.

I'm transliterating one of Chuck Tingle's books into Shavian.

Decided to take a break halfway through the second chapter to do the cover. There doesn't seem to be a textless version floating around, so please forgive my terrible editing lol.

Mostly I'm going one paragraph at a time, using Dechifro's transliteration tool, reading for errors/stylistic changes, fixing it up, and copying it into the epub.

Oh, the joys/quirks of federation. So this is a post from Pixelfed containing three pictures, and tagging the Shavian Lemmy community. Pixelfed - Lemmy federation is still a bit hit or miss, so weโ€™re already doing well by it even showing up. And, when viewed from Lemmy, as usual only the first of the three pictures showed up. But thatโ€™s ok, thatโ€™s expected, thatโ€™s why I made sure the first pic had Shavian in it. Howeverโ€ฆ when viewed from Piefed, for some reason it chose the last picture, the one with no Shavian in it! ๐Ÿคฃ
