Please explain to me why it is not even considered that someone could be singing a song of French origin in German. This honestly boggles my mind.

Even more discouraging is that originally I'd had a notation that Autor was singing in German, but I removed it because I thought everyone would just assume he was and that it would look silly to have such a notation.

Never overestimate.

It's so ironic that hearing a German version of that French carol is what inspired the fic in the first place.

That's kind of amusing, actually. But oy vey. Next time maybe I'll be smart and keep the supposedly unnecessary and silly notations.

Yeah, a lot of that review left me staring blankly at the screen. Everything about geographical and cultural possibilities sounded like stereotyping to me. I could hardly believe what I was reading. And that's so true about O Holy Night; that's another reason why I left out the notation that Autor was singing in German.

The creator has even said Fakir isn't Arabic, which I made sure to tell the girl in my reply. **shakes head.** Wow. Just ... wow.
