So, last night, finally, I did something that I had promised myself I'd do quite a while ago...
I restarted My Dorm, in Spanish.
You see, I wanted to experience the unvarnished, corrected, edited, cleaned, Tropecita. And boy, did I get it...
First noticeable thing, there are typos... I know... SHOCKING. Imagine, people that write making typos... who knew...
Second, he's a LOT more "dirty" in his thoughts... This Mark, he's a bit of a savage, in his mind, only, of course.
Third, Martha is so much nicer, so much motherly, so much closer and warm. I encourage anyone that can to read it in Spanish.
So far that's it, I didn't progress much, because I got distracted with how much more warm and cosy the whole family felt. Erika and Daphne, I dunno, they didn't felt like cousins, but more like sisters. Emma, felt more real, less hyper, impulsive yes, but caring.
The whole thing felt softer, "dirtier", warmer, real. I gotta say, I already liked the way Trope wrote this story, but, now, I have a whole different feeling. It's like it's closer. Like they moved down the street and I can hear them in the pool.
Again, if you are able to, do yourself a favor and read the whole thing in Spanish.
