I had some unexpected waiting time in the museum café today, so I wrote a bit of my #MXTXRemix fic. Can’t remember the last time I actually wrote prose in longhand! When I was a kid, it made my hand hurt; as an adult, I’m used to the word-processor convenience of being able to rearrange my words whenever I like. Writing in pencil seems to help somewhat.
Currently writing fic that really no one will want to read, in an attempt to dispell the brainworms that have been distracting me all week. I feel like I should apologise in advance. 😅
I am having such a wonderful time reading Zhang Gong’an, and it’s really fine that no one else is interested enough to read half a million words of MTL, but it would be fun to have more people to talk to about it.
I already talked myself out of editing the MTL and publishing it—I do NOT have the time. 😔
(Brain: but kinkytranslations.com posts a chapter a day! How much work can it be?
Me: do you know how much work we have to do, you fucker)
Maybe I should write a manifesto that will entice people…
Tfw you're just happily writing down your little fic ideas and realise you have, once again, made a tragic canon even worse. Villainous friend, stop doing that!
You can ask me about ships too! I’m about to go to Chinese class, so I’ll answer after that.
Fandoms where I might have opinions include any MXTX, 2ha, KinnPorsche, A League of Nobleman (please 😅), JWQS, some Jin Yong, Vampire Chronicles, QY/TYK/SHL, whatever books/series you’ve seen me rambles about on here…
My irl cdrama bff is working on a light novel for a competition and every time she tells me about it, I get more desperate to have a copy in my grubby little paws. If it doesn’t get accepted, I’m going to knock heads together, because it’s SUCH a good plot.
(I haven’t read any of her draft but I’m certain the writing is good too!)
📚 start working on fanbinding of girlfriend's favourite disappeared-from-the-internet Weiss Kreuz fanfic
📚 boyfriend shyly asks if I could bind a book for him
📚 I agree, of course
📚 boyfriend finally goes through his old hard drives and assembles the 'lost' original short stories I didn't have access to, and therefore couldn't bind as a surprise
📚 I start typesetting book
📚 boyfriend is newly excited about writing and gets fresh inspiration!
I'm using this for my girlfriend's book. She requested OpenDyslexic, but decided this font was nicer to read when italicised (relevant for the author's notes on each chapter).
“Do you have a problem, Chengmei?” Jin Guangyao asked.
Xue Yang slammed down his stirring rod. The gritty substance on it sprayed across the cluttered bench. “Yes, I have a problem!” he snapped. “There’s no fucking point following the formula if I don’t have pure enough ingredients. What the hell is this cinnabar cut with? Your father’s dead, no one’s checking your account book any more!”
Jin Guangyao only gave a faint smile, leaning back on the bier that held the body of Xiao Xingchen. “True, my father is dead,” he said. “That means I don’t have to support your work here; it’s a personal favour. Think on that, perhaps.”
I missed my fedi anniversary, but it’s now one year and two days since I joined here! Thanks so much to @masto_admin for running this instance. I’m having a lovely time here and intend to stay! :BlobhajPrideHeart:
