It would be nice to have a section where your translation for a given chapter is presented as one continuous text. That way someone can read a full chapter without clicking through multiple posts.
This is probably something for much further down the road, but since a physical release is out of the running for the time being, I was thinking that making a version of the text in Ren'Py or some such software may work better since it allows for explanatory pop ups, linking to external pages, etc. I understand that would require a lot of work, though, so a PDF with hyperlinks could maybe achieve a similar effect, albeit with less ability to effectively integrate supplemental material.
1. Compare dream of the red chamber to the other great chinese works. Like 三国演义
2. An episode about spiritual beliefs in china. Somehow tie this to dream of the red chamber.
3. Jiahu Site has chinese characters that are 9 thousand years old. On turtle shells. Possibly. Talk about it, some how tie this to a character in dream of the red chamber. Allude to aliens but never say the word aliens. People like that.

I'd love to read your take on the mirrors of the red chamber dream... Object and / or narrative style
