marycrawfordDear fellow Person of Interest fans: hi! I'm really enjoying the show! I haven't watched the current season yet - just watched episode 105 this weekend. I'm not fast.
I have been spoilered a tiny bit and I know there is a dog, and that dog understands DUTCH. (And I just got pointed at a twitter that is purportedly by that dog, and in Dutch, but it's all the worst, literal, Google translate garbage, alas.)
So: if you are writing PoI fanfic, and you happen to need Dutch words or phrases?
COME TO ME.
I will supply you! They will make sense, and be spelled right!
Feel free to comment here or email me, and if it's for Yuletide, your secret is safe with me.
Just don't tell me anything too spoilery about the new season or eps later than 105, please? And for the same reason, I can't actually beta for you. But I will translate. :-)

Here's the twitter: https://twitter.com/BearDeHond . Just the line in the profile shows you how bad and how blatantly google-translated it is: "Lange man in pak schieten mensen. Ik ben zijn nu."
