Attention, everyone!
I’ve got an announcement to make. After a week-long of intensive gossip – er, I mean, carrying out research, I now proudly present to you:
The 1st Annual Special Report on Selection of Civilian Apparel, STEC Edition
Psst. In normal English, that means bikinis!
No, like, really. I’m bored. I don’t see the Abyssal book anywhere in this year or next year’s line-up, so here’s what I’m going to do. I’m switching sides.
Before you ask, the horns do come off. It’s kind of like the shipgirl clothing thing, only that we manifest our own extra bits and bobs like tails and horns.
Yo.
In a couple of more days, it’s July 4th. Since everyone actually gets some time off, I figure it’s good time for me to share a thought or two.
大家好！又是我，陶陶。其实，理论上，我没有参加海军食谱项目。 不过，呃，《美舰本》是关于舰娘,舰娘经常做可爱的事以及美国——
[打呵欠]你看得出来我刚起床吧。要集中注意力，陶陶，集中注意力！
好。那么，我们在整理翻译之前发表的有意思的文章之余，偶尔也想写点新东西。我说过，从“美舰本”项目开始，莫根就时不时为海军食谱写些文章。现在，绝大部分《海军食谱》都与历史有关，偶尔还会跟我们的其他作品有交集。我们想过将每篇食谱都与一名舰娘联系起来，但是又觉得这像是个推销用的噱头。
更何况这还容易让人形成刻板印象。比如在今天这篇文章中，祖籍新英格兰地区的舰娘会比较熟悉我们要讲的东西，然而她自己可就不一定喜欢了。换句话说，不是每个当地人都喜欢当地的饮食呢！
