Tower of Babel opens its doors
Tower of Babel opens its doors
Moorcock's Miscellany is pleased to annouce a new development in its on-going history. In recognition of the fact that Mike has readers in many countries outside of the UK, US and other English-speaking nations we are launching a new forum - the Tower of Babel - where English will not be the primary language of choice.
We are beginning with just three of the many languages into which Mike's works are translated: French, German, Spanish, and we beg your indulgence if we don't at the moment do the same right now for Italian, Greek, Russian, Portuguese, etc. We may consider these in time if there is demand for additional languages. (We also need members fluent in these languages to moderate them as necessary.)
Please bear in mind that for the moment this is an experiment in opening up the site to readers for whom English is not their first language and who may be more comfortable discussing Mike's work in their own language. We're going to be learning what works and what doesn't by a process mainly of trial and error, but the experience gathered will also influence any decisions for (or against) further "linguistic expansionism".
Mike himself welcomes and supports this initiative very much. We look forward welcoming everyone who visits the Tower whatever their native tongue.
