strings played against his throat, my whumpfic in which FeiHua's escape from Jiao Liqiao goes wrong, and Di Feisheng marries her to ensure the wellbeing of Li Lianhua, who becomes her concubine. Just updated uwu
My unpublished modern AU where Di Feisheng is an MMA fighter cowboy, Li Lianhua is his chiropractor, and Fang Xiaobao is the new sheriff in one of those Chinese towns they built purely for tourism. In this case, it's an Old West theme. Here's a preview.
Mo Dao Zu Shi
My Mo Dao/Percy Jackson crossover where WangXian and friends romp through Camp Half-Blood!
My Wen Xu/Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji AU where Wei Wuxian is adopted by the Wens instead of Jiang Fengmian. I swear I subvert so many jianghu tropes, this could be its own original novel, but here we are lol.
My two-part where Jin Zixuan flees to Lotus Pier and manages to alert the Jiangs in time for the Wang Lingjiao's attack. It's mostly written from Yu Ziyuan's perspective, and it's been a delight.
More Q&A below the cut!
Which one are you finding the hardest to finish?
Definitely #1 under Mo Dao. It's a huge labor of love, but I'm thinking maybe I thought too big with the plot. It could have just been a fun teenage romp, but then it turned into a drama that handles much larger themes, and the trouble is in being able to tie up all the plotlines I suddenly have.
What does it usually look like when inspiration strikes for you?
Usually when I have two days in a row off of work, so my brain has had at least 24 hours to clear out and think about fun. I go into a pleasant fugue state, meaning I'm focused, but I can occasionally take a five-minute break to chatter about it with my frens or listen to a song. (I'm answering this post while I'm working on fic btw.)
Do you curate playlists for each fic or is your process different?
Oh nah lol. I sometimes line some chill songs or ballads up in the background or like a Buzzfeed Unsolved marathon for background noise, but sometimes it has the opposite effect where I can't focus at all. So sometimes I just write in complete silence.
Do you go balls to the wall and write as you go or are you more organized?
Balls to the waaaaaaall babeeeeeee. Aside from the ones that're born from me chattering with frens. Both my Lianhua Lou fics and #2 under MDZS are from very specific and thorough chats that I screenshotted for reference.

This is my deeply cherished pet project I've been working on since November of last year. It follows a young CQLverse Zhao Zhuliu from his invention of the Core Melting technique to his travels through the jianghu as a rogue cultivator, including meetings and partings with a young Yu Ziyuan and a pre-marriage to Jin Guangshan Madam Jin (whom I still need to think of a name for).
Yu Ziyuan was an astonishingly powerful cultivator. Zhao Zhuliu could feel the spiritual energy crackling within her from all the way across the inn, barely contained. She was also, obviously, a lady of some family. The two deadly-looking young women she made a great show of not knowing were clearly bodyguards or handmaidens or something of the sort.
Zhao Zhuliu pretended to buy into the fiction that she was night-hunting alone, since that was what she preferred, and ceded all claim to the herb. He'd only wanted to see it bloom, anyway.
As they traveled to the clearing where the flower grew, Zhao Zhuliu told Yu Ziyuan a few safe things about himself and learned about her in turn. She was a third daughter and eager to make a name apart from her sisters. She spoke like she expected to be obeyed, but also as though she had something to prove. He called her Yu sanniang, since her name was Yu and she was the third child. She called him Heiyi gongzi, lightly mocking, for the worn black clothes he wore. He thought about the rumor he was trying to outrun, Huadan Shou, and thought Young Master Black Robes far preferable.

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your favourite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!
Fuckvella (also known as A’Fuck) -- my magnum opus, a 32k+ monster I wrote in a fit of passion where Lan Wangji, I dunno, fucking flies on his sword after Wei Wuxian in CQL. Idiot. Wrote out some yummy headcanons and debuted my dumb-dumb OC, the obligatory Lan doctor every fic needs.
Hawk -- the reason I crawled back out of fanfic retirement to finally make an AO3 account. I wrote it because my friend and I were chatting about whose kids the Mo Dao characters would be if they were Percy Jackson-verse demigods! It’s currently on hold, but I promise I’ll get back to it and finish. Because of its origins, this fic is very near and dear to my heart.
WWX is in a coma, and I will make you suffer about it -- a really personal, almost memoir-style fic; because while diaspora Chinese fans have been writing beautiful modern AUs of WangXian, I feel a conspicuous lack of the China of my childhood. Oh, also, I hit you in the feels and A-Yuan gets raised by the Jiangs, because we deserve this scenario.
MY FMV!!!!!!!!!!!! -- please turn on your English CC if you don’t understand Chinese! I translated it myself!!!!!! I’m very, very proud of it, even if I do eschew Bilibili norms and make a very typical Cdrama-style MV.

Half of this music is from a very specific niche on the CN internet sorry not sorry.
I actually got really into this, and couldn't fit in other musical geniuses from the CN traditional-style scene like Yin Lin, who composed and sang one of the official MDZS fan songs A-Jie sang. And in the interest of my own anonymity, I didn't even mention any of the indie artists I listen to, but if y'all wanna swap music and learn about some really underrated geniuses, feel free to DM me.
Special s/o to Ne-Yo, though. And Chr*s Bro*n is garbage, but his music still slaps.

My IRL persona has seen some shit and will look at you funny while slurping bubble tea, because that’s my only personality. Also, pls look at my earrings, because wow.
My online persona...is the same exact thing, except more edgelordy and chatty about writing and history. Because people actually listen to the history bit, lol. Also, I would be really cheerful and chatty -- I think more so than I tend to be in real life, mostly because it’s just easier to write a comment with “!!!!!!” in it.
Tagging... @afeministslytherin @heyholmesletsgo @shadaras @saanguis and whoever else wants to do this UwU
