LCC11 Relay

The LCC11 Relay is the conlang relay for the eleventh Language Creation Conference.

The relay master is Joey Windsor. The rings and ring masters are:

• prose (Daniel Swanson)

A text rendered in a conlang with a searchable Romanized font. Participants in this ring will translate the text and render a (roughly) equivalent text in their own conlang.

• poetry (Joey Windsor)

A text rendered in a conlang with a searchable Romanized font, organized with conculture-specific poetic conventions. Participants in this ring will translate the text and render a (roughly) equivalent text in their own conlang, which will conform to the poetic conventions of their own conculture.

• conscript (Sai & Alex Fink)

A text rendered in a non-standard (potentially non-searchable) orthography. Participants in this ring will translate the text and render a (roughly) equivalent text in their own conlang using their unique conscript.

It also has two new rules:

• Your translation must make sense within the conculture the torch is rendered in. Animals or objects can be anthropomorphized with the ability to speak, and the text can use fantasy elements. However, both every sentence and the text as a whole must be interpretable, not a gibberish mesh of words or sentences that don’t make sense together. If your interpretation of the torch you received doesn’t make sense as something an adult (in your conworld, if you have one) would say, change the meaning so that it does, rather than making an overly precise translation.
• You should (and are encouraged to) alter the text to make sense within your conculture. For example, if the text makes reference to faster-than-light travel but your conculture is set in medieval times, this may be altered to “outrunning the fastest horse ever seen”. If your conculture is completely aquatic, maybe horses don’t exist and you need to change ‘horse’ to ‘shark’. If the torch refers to a specific deity, use an equivalent deity in your conworld; if your conworld doesn’t have deities, perhaps a hero from your conworld’s legends. If the text uses social structures that your conworld doesn’t, change them to fit. Etc. Use whatever makes sense within your conculture.

Due to size, it will be presented differently than in previous LCCs:

• Relay participants will contribute about 2 minutes of prerecorded audio/video per ring-step they made, to be compiled into a single video to be made public following the short, live relay presentation.
• The relay masters will curate a highlight presentation for a 30-minute slot to be presented live at the LCC, but they will have to exercise editorial discretion about what to include. Relay participants are welcomed to suggest things to be included in this, e.g. to highlight for ring masters' attention, but the final decision goes to the relay masters.
