Disclaimer: Hellsing belongs people who are not me. I am making £0.00 out of this fic, it is written purely because I have a burning need to create. Although I would like to own Alucard . . . then he’d be mine.

I've been digging around Chinese sites for my C/Y fix, and found some AMVs.

献给孔拉德和有利
【腐向MAD】今天开始做魔王 YOU
Two versions done to the same song, "You". I really want to know the lyrics to this, if there's a translation out there somewhere? It has to fit really well, since there are two versions and that first video is insanely popular.

我比想象中爱你
The title of the song translates to something like, "I love you more than I imagined". I can translate the lyrics if anyone's interested. They fit freakishly well with the betrayal arc.

Those are just my favorites :)

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.
