Chapter Text
there is now a publically accesible of this text into english by a native korean speaker. i've stated it repeatedly online, but i only attempted to translate this miyeo because i couldn't find a coherent english translation online - and, like i've also stated repeatedly, this was never supposed to be a direct translation, and always was more of an adaptative passion project. working on this project kept me sane during the darkest period of my life. this story saved my life last summer, and i'm always going to be grateful to her for that.
in all honesty, i uploaded my adaptation simply because i hoped it would reach other non-korean miyeo enthusiasts who i'd be able to discuss this story with. the world that kyrie created in 2019 within the pages of mad summer was so complex and delicately crafted, and i wanted to give other people access to that world. still, as a non-native speaker, it was not my place to do so.
before miyeo, i had never read or written a fanfic before, and i had no understanding of the ethics or nuances surrounding fan-translation.
please show love to the aforementioned legitimate english translation.

ps. i'm working on an archive of all my mad summer research and the link to that site is here (i'm thinking about making my adaptation avaliable there eventually) :) if you have any other questions , feel free to leave them anonymously at my alterspring here, or check out my mad summer twitter here.
otherwise, goodbye, for now
with love,
