fun with searching my author name on the internet

I've figured out that if I go to www.delicious.com -- which is a fairly widely used bookmarking site -- and type in my fanfiction author name, I get a list of my stories that have been bookmarked by other people. My results?

-- 5 for "Fallacy Somewhere"
-- 3 for "Upgrade" (my Yuletide Red Dwarf story)
-- 2 for "Miles from Aberdeen"
-- 2 for "Rosemary" (that was a surprise; I'm fond of it, but it's not one of my more favorited stories on Teaspoon)
-- 1 for "Turn Again" (and yeah, I need to FINISH that)
-- 1 for "Nameless"
-- 1 for "Break of Day"

You guys should all try it for your own author names -- it's fun!

And speaking of my fic "Break of Day," you will never guess what I came across while doing random Google searches on my author name:

Someone has actually translated my fic into Russian! No, really!

I'm just completely blown away that someone went to the trouble to translate one of my fics. It is quite possibly the most awesome thing I have ever come across on the internet. The translation even requires a footnote since I put in a silly aunt/ant joke that doesn't work in Russian. (Truthfully, it probably doesn't even work that well in a British accent, but I put it in anyway.)
