Friday Update
I figured out where to put the porn in Accidental Voyeur. Nobody is surprised.
Twitter finds:
Gentle affection in the SID office seen from above. (I like this artist and I love that piece in particular)
It's sad-making that Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu probably won't ever get another gig together.
Bai Yu cuddling Da Qing's cat actor.
Shen Wei is embarrassed and Zhao Yunlan loves it.
Why why why didn't I give Ghost Story's ZYL tattoos?
I feel like maybe this piece is more reflective of novel!verse than drama!verse (idk I haven't read it), but I love the visual of Shen Wei literally coming apart in Zhao Yunlan's arms.
Thanks to this Twitter thread, there is no need to watch My True Friend for the Zhu Yilong parts.
"re: a certain article praising cql for its restraint in showing a slow burn romance: censorship and other restrictions cause a lot of interesting creative work as creators develop tactics to survive life under oppression. those tactics should not be credited to the oppressors."
Ghost Story is back from beta! *eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!*
I need to flesh out one scene (which I kinda knew already) and sent it to a second reader to see *cough* if she thinks there's too much sex. I mean...there is a lot of sex (bc lbr I love to write it) but I want to make sure it's not getting old by the end. I want that last sex scene to have a big emotional punch and not start with a feeling of "oh god, more sex?"
Wednesday's reading was fine.Two people read from stories not by them and they were both notoriously, famously bad fics. Everyone but me thought it was hilarious. I thought it was, idk, kinda shitty? I mean, we in fandom laugh at My Immortal but when you present it to the general public as something to be mocked I...didn't like it. I was, in fact, made really uncomfortable by it and I was glad I went first so I didn't have to read after one of them. In fact, only three of the six pieces read weren't presented in a satirical way. I'm going to tell the organizer that I won't participate in next semester's fanfic open mic night if people read stuff they didn't write as an opportunity to mock it. People might think I'm stick-in-the-mud about it, but oh well.
Another kinda weird thing I didn't think was cool was there was someone there from the student newspaper to cover the event but none of the readers were told ahead of time. The organizer said she hadn't told anyone "so nobody got nervous" but I'm kinda like...that's...not...consensual? She asked us afterward who didn't want their image/whatever to be used, but I'm like, couldn't they have done that to begin with? And just, you know, not covered the people who didn't want to be?
IDK the whole thing seemed a little off from a fan perspective and the more I think about it the more I'm bothered by it.
Late addition but if I wait until tomorrow, everyone will have already linked to it:

From what I saw of the KU student newspaper in my three decades on campus, it has no standards. Pretty much across the board.
