So I was invited by @cdramazine to contribute a fic, and here's a little teaser in the form of the fic banner I've made for it 😉

Hi all! I am taking part in @cdramazine's Resplendent - a zine dedicated to Chinese Dramas.

Not unexpectedly, I have written a fun Nirvana in Fire Lin Chen and Mei Changsu jianghu romp, complete with hidden knives.

Preorders open on April 30th and all of the art and fic look amazing! Plus there is some brilliant merch, so do come and check it out!

[...]One of the questions most often brought to Langya Hall is Chief Mei’s travel itinerary. Lin Chen does not shy from answering it (though he does ensure that the price is suitably high). Langya Hall is neutral, after all. Furthermore, if Mei Changsu can’t deal with such a minor inconvenience as having a public schedule, then he does not deserve to top the Scholars list. “Lin Chen,” Mei Changsu replies, giving a polite bow and settling himself primly into the abandoned seat. “By now I would have expected you to realise that I take an interest in everything.” “Everything?” Lin Chen echoes, snapping open his fan and bestowing his most lascivious grin upon his friend. He can hear mutters from the crowd behind them, none of whom would know subtle if it walked up and hit them over the head with a tea-brick. Lin Chen despairs of the state of the jianghu, he truly does. He consoles himself, as he’s often done before, with the thought that at least their collective stupidity ensures his Hall remains relevant.

A little sneak peek of my contribution for Resplendent - a cdrama zine that is opening for pre-orders at the end of April.

It's packed full of beautiful fanfic and fanart from 33 different fandoms and there will also be a merch bundle available... and if we hit the stretch goals this will include my design above for an enamel pin of a certain iconic cdrama moment! 😍

A little peak into my contribution to Resplendent (against all odds and my impostor syndrome!)

I also worked on a little something for Justice in the Dark 'cause I was particularly zhoudu-pilled -keep an eye out for it 👀
