I would love a treat (or as the only gift) a fic in: Danish (fluent) Swedish (can read fluently) Norwegian (can read fluently) Icelandic (fluent) Finnish (can read)
My Finnish isn't quite as strong as the the other four Nordic languages. I have a BA and MA in Finnish + I've lived in Finland combined 2 years - I can speak it, but mainly on a conversational* level. My reading level is much better - back in 2016/2017 when I last lived there I made it through the first four Harry Potter books in Finnish + a smattering of other books and short story collections I've now forgotten, but I admit I haven't read much in Finnish since that isn't a news article or facebook updates from Finnish friends. so I'm a bit rusty, but I will muddle through! *my conversational Finnish is very Turun murre as this is the area I've spent most time in.
wrt Swedish and Norwegian, I'm OK with the full range of regional dialects, including finlandssvenska and the tornedal dialect (this includes meänkieli and/or vocab from meänkieli), even the ones you think I might not get. I've yet to meet a dialect of these I've not gotten along with**. I've not spent much time with nynorsk but I'll probably be fine if you choose this over bokmål/your regional dialect. **älvdalska is probably the one exception but I'm also going to call this a language of its own and not a dialect.
wrt Danish, listen, I've spent 20 years in Denmark, and ostensibly that means I should understand every regional dialect, but if you write something in the following dialects: sønderjysk vendelbomål thybomål bornholmsk all bets are off. I would be DELIGHTED, don't get me wrong, I would love for there to be fiction in these marginalised dialects, but my only encounter with these variants are from one singular linguistics lesson during undergrad and from listening to one of my linguist buddies rave about them, so I can't promise I'll understand much.
My requests are: Afdeling Q | Department Q (Movies) Astreiant series by Melissa Scott & Lisa A. Barnett Dancing Queens (2021) Ocean's 8 (2018) Ocean's Eleven Trilogy (Movies) Shetland (TV)
Of these, Afdeling Q is Danish, and Dancing Queens is Swedish.
