Ficcing

[flemmings]

My what a lovely day. Didn't rain once. Wasn't even supposed to rain. Mind you, neither was yesterday evening, which produced torrential downpours and violent thunder and a couple of funnel clouds; and of course the same is forecast for tomorrow.

But for today, the sun shines, the cicadas sing, and I am inspired to fic. To ficlet. Discworld crossover with something very unlikely indeed. Blame qwerty. It was her idea.

If one vocalizes U the way the Japanese does it, then one gets a good approximation of the way Mandarin speakers pronounce Wu. (That does not work for Cantonese, for it might be Mo or Ng, depending on kanji. Some dialects [Mandarin is a dialect] are just lacking in variation. lol /troll)

Is *that* what it is? Thanks, that makes sense. My purdeaf ears have never been able to pick up what sound it is because it always gets swallowed by the 国 coming after.
