Oh, agreed! My guilty pleasures are those badly written stories on Instagram. I only read the available bit, but just that is enough to get the gist of it.

I always wonder if the translation is just bad, or if they are actually named like that, lol.

Hope it was as titillating as it sounds!

You're doing it! That's amazing work!

You got this! I'll be doing the same while helping my family at a craft fair!

This would be such a great crack fic, with enough seriousness to make it *chef's kiss*

If I didn't have so many wips, I might ask to write this, lol

That still sounds like a fun time!

This is one of my favorite Mafia fics, and really need to get down to reviewing it!

Can't wait to listen to this!

Block them. I have blocked, muted, and been blocked for way less.

🤣🤣🤣

Or that it would take 4 years to find a single child who never left the same town...

I really need to look into this more! All of that plays into my ideas of JFM being someone much darker...

I do remember thinking that Lan Zhan's sword is like the paladin/fighter/barbarian while Wei Ying is the rogue, lol. Agile and quick, but not strong in the strength area. That's why he struggled to lift the dead weight, while Lan Zhan could lift Wei Ying AND the dead weight, lol

Did the book say anything about the sheath being wooden? I can't remember, but I do remember people refusing to say Suibian's name, lol. Also, that it had red accents.

My biggest issue with Suibian is that JFM decided to be a dolt about the name when it seemed WWX trusted him with the choice.

Maybe! Next month, I start a writing challenge for a couple discord servers to write 35k words for October. I have a lot of stuff to get done prior to October 1st!

I feel this, with everything in the world and then people at my work leaving cause we were acquired by a larger one, it's like: "Let me just live in a fantasy world..."

Hope you find some good reads now that AO3 is back up!

At least you have the rough draft done! That's something to be proud of, I'd say!

Or even Jin Zixun. He deserves even less than a chicken.

Make the groom Su She, that'd be hilarious!

My watch party group has been watching this! We just got to season two and tonight will be watching the infamous "Frog Episode".

Glad you enjoyed it! And hope you are feeling better now!

Don't blame you! I live in the Midwest, so earthquakes are practically nothing here. Tornados, yes, lol!

Never realized that NYC or state had earthquakes! That's really scary, tbh!

I will admit...I have found a few YouTube channels that shoe these in their entirety. They are so bad, but so addictive!

Yet, I still haven't managed to sit down and watch all of The Untamed or Word of Honor 😭😭

I haven't finished listening to this entirely yet, but I am on chapter four, and it's been great!

Thank you, Kizu, for writing it, and Auntie Iroh for narrating the podfic! 💙💙

I have been going through the arranged marriage tag with wangxian again, tbh. I especially love the ones where wwx finds a place there and Madam Yu gets pissed, lol. Or...the complete opposite, lmfao.

Never assume you are writing too much of one troupe! If you enjoy writing it, even if it is the same but different, there will be those who read it.

I can guarantee that if you wrote ten stories of an arranged marriage troupe, people would love them.

Yanli: you know, a-Xuan, Lan Wangji gives a-Xian flowers every day. I wish you would do that.

[later]

Wei Ying: What is this?

Jin Zixuan, holding out a bouquet: I don’t understand either.

New podfic of "The Second Jade of Lan's late but incendiary sexual awakening" by @kizukatana.bsky.social ❤️, which is the 2nd part of "The epic college romance between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan" 😍🚒📚

Yep! It will only show the one relationship. So if you have it set for wangxian, it will only be wangxian. Not wangxian, jc/nhs, lxc/jgy, etc...

This fic is one of my absolute favorites in the MDZS fandom. And if you ever wanted to add Wei Ying's POV, consider me a starved sailor before a buffet!
