German, French QAF stories; 'Celebreality' by 1daftpunk

Hi, everyone! I had this idea for a while, and I decided to ask people here about it, because it seems no matter what the question is, someone will always answer. I'm studying German and French, and the best way for me to do it is through books and movies. I've learned English the same way, so I know that it really works. So, my question is - are there some QAF fans from Germany or/and France here? If there are, could you please suggest great multi-chaptered stories in your language? I love everything except severe fluff and Saint Brian - and stories with bad endings. So, maybe you could recommend something?

And, my second question - does anyone know how often 1daftpunk updates the list of readers? I've been dying to read 'Celebreality' for some time, I wrote to the author (and a few other people who might have the information) last month, but didn't get an answer. I checked all tags here and in other places, but everything was in vane. So, I guess I just wanted to know, maybe someone has this story and can send it to me? I'm not sure what author's position about all this is - as far as I understood, the story is locked because 1daftpunk was concerned the reader might turn out to be a troll who could steal some parts of the journal. I definitely do not have any bad intentions - in my journal I provided a link to my MW account, so everyone could see I'm just an interested reader:) Maybe I should just wait patiently for the author to return, but when I hear about some long story and have no access to it, I become sort of obsessed, so I decided to ask just in case :D

Thank you in advance!

Many suggestions have been offered! Thanks everyone so much for your help, the speed and liveliness here never ceases to amaze me!

No good news on 'Celebreality' - I still hope someone has this story and maybe can send it to me and other people in comments who've been waiting for such a long time.

In response to 1daftpunk: I think I asked over a year ago and never heard anything back. Maybe you'll have better luck?

Sorry, originally that sounded vague. :)

i asked on September 16th, 2012 and i am still waiting :(
i hope the author is ok and it's just a case of a forgotten password or something like that.

For the German&French QAf stories try http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/browse.php?type=categories&catid=99.
There aren't many but is a start :).

'Celebreality' is still a WIP. Some time ago 1daftpunk updated his journal saying that he is going to finish the story. I was like you when I first entered the community, because like you I'm only an avid reader.I was dying to read no only 'Celebreality' but his RPS " Live through this" as well. So I wrote to him explaining that I was not a writer but a reader and that I would like to read his stories. After a while he friended me back. So have faith and patience and maybe he will friend you. All of his stories are worthy.

Hi! I peeked through our "foreign language fics or translations" tag (which I'm sure no one knows we have, don't worry lol) and found a couple of things :)

Link to Test of Fidelity by hamsterfan (http://www.fanfiktion.de/s/46e167f1000064120650a411/1/Der-Treuetest) in German. Also, if you click on the "Queer As Folk (US)" link there, it will bring up lots more German fics.

And there is also the [livejournal.com profile] qaf_translated comm! Doesn't look like it's been active for a few years, but you can click on "language: french" and "language: german" and bring up fics in those languages.

Soulmatejunkee wrote a really wonderful Post513 multi-capter Fic (You&Me series) and at least partially translated it into German (by the way, a highly recommended Fic in any language). Mayby you can contact her.

I can also recommend the author shutterfly. He wrote a lot of fic and a very long Brian/Justin Saga.

You have to read in this order:

1. Über die Klippe
2. Versuchung
3. Die Brücke
4. Im Zwielicht
5. Eclipse
6. Wilde Oliven
7. Schattentänze
Interlude: Lagerfeuerromantik
8. Indigo
9. Riding the bullet
Interlude: A little merry X-mas

Unfortunately, I'm not very good at writing summaries and I've read it long time ago. It is a Post513 and they are pretty quickly a couple again. I remember that Brian eventually works as a model for Wolfgang Joop and they always make great trips (including to Florence). The FF is really well written, many problems of the past are worked up and it is definitely NC17 LOL. The author is actually a man an he writes REALLY good. You don't have to read the individual books at once. All books end up in a good place. Give it a shot, you will not regret it.

He also wrote this shorter FF. Brian is broke after the Stockwell affair and moved with Justin in a small apartment with IKEA furniture (Horror).

Here's a very funny FF of Briansgale.

celebrity is an abandoned WIP - there was a chance to donate to get her to finish it during the HelpHaiti fundraiser. That's the last time I heard from her.
