Hello! I haven't used Tumblr much since 2014, so I'm gradually relearning my way around things here. I figured I'd make a sticky with my fics for easy reference.

Hi Emma, I am a long time reader of yours. I remember i absolutely falling in love with your taco fics (also, the fact that you are a fellow Australian is another bonus). I remember always checking my email about your "Alley Cat" updates in 2022- 2023. Since then, i have somewhat forgot about you. It has been 542 since the last "Alley Cat" update (10th of August is my birthday btw, I sure am getting old 😂). I absolutely ADORED your newsletter, although i am still haunted by "Mandrake" by Frayach that you recommended. I wonder if you got around to reading "Inevitable" by Frayach that you were contemplating reading in Issue-3 of Taco Tuesdays. I read it and in classic Frayach fashion, it left me shattered. Its very angsty, problematic but also one of my favourite fics. Anyway, I opened tumblr after a long time and you popped up in my feed. I honestly feel very nostalgic about my taco days and anxiously waiting for your updates. I heard from your latest newsletter that you quit your job and got a new one (I hope that is working out well for you). I also saw from tumblr that you got marriage proposals in your trip to China (Honestly same, when i went to Bangladesh all my extended relatives were subtly trying to set me up to marry 😂). I also saw that you are into Manhwa and Danmei. I can't say anything about Manhwa, but I did read an unholy amount of Danmei back in 2024. My favourite is SVSS but that is solely because of Shang Qinghua And I am huuuge Moshang shipper. Its been a long time and I hope you are doing well. I genuinely love all your writing. I come from a strict, conservative Muslim background where political propaganda is literally taught in school, and fanfiction has really opened my eyes to be compassionate about people from all races, sexuality and gender. Your works are one of the best I have ever read and I thank you for writing these. If you ever decide to write "Alley Cat" again I would be one of the first to read it. (Also, the cliffhanger when tom and draco finally kiss after 3477 years??? you are so cruellllll 😭)

Funnily enough I got locked out of my newsletter because of the Australian laws on Under 16s off SocMed and have been too annoyed to verify to get back on -_-

I finally finished SVSSS recently—didn't feel like reading the side stories for quite a few months as the main story felt quite unresolved to me. I have somewhat mixed feelings on Bingqiu but am really enjoying how many rarepairs there are that get attention in this fandom. I would actually say it's more difficult to find a rarepair with <100 fics than with more. Stark contrast to the HP fandom lol. Have been cycling through ships with TianLiu being my latest rarepair find. Binggeyuan is my overall favourite though.

Love to hear from another Danmei reader in Australia though! Anyone in Melbourne want to start a bookclub? 😂

And thank you for your message. To be honest, my new job has brought a whole different series of challenges... and makes me really question if I should remain in this industry at all. Sometimes I don't think I'm cut out for corporate, or at least this industry. It has somewhat killed my writing energy (again) for the past few months but I am trying to overcome that and get back into the flow.

[dracomort]

Hi. Not an ask, but I wanted to thank you. Your fics really supported me through horrible times, I love your writing and can't stop rereading. I hope you're doing great. Thank you for writing, you are great <3

Thank you so much! I hope things are going better for you now.

i cant help but notice that the chocolate chips cookies you brought to the potluck yesterday had bad vibes. so i went through your cabinets while you were sleeping and checked out the chocolate chips you used. i mean they looked innocent on the surface, they were even fair trade certified. but i just couldn't shake that itching sense that sometning was off. i infiltrated the chocolate company's headquarters by posing as IT support. and you know what I found? the guy who designed the labels got a dui in 2007. so it turns out my instincts were right and you're a terrible person.

[yellow-cat]

sorry i came back wrong do you still wanna hit it

[onnahu]

whatever anyone says, Liu Qingge will always be famous for telling Shen Qingqiu that he can just get a new one after his favourite disciple "died"

[jornymiyu]

grabby hands

[krebkrebkreb]

volume 1 → volume 11

[jornymiyu]

Some erha doodles

[dracomort]

considering these scenes from vol 10 and vol 11 together, I can only conclude that taxian-jun killed jiang xi for not helping him get chu wanning pregnant

[dracomort]

read erha vol 11. lowkey obsessed with jiang xi now

Watching Bing-ge do mental gymnastics over why his alternate universe self would be sleeping with Shen Qingqiu is so funny to me no matter how I look at it.

You get to witness him talking himself into it in real time, going from, “look at him, that evil bitch, he's the worst person alive, so depraved, I have no compassion for such a heartless wretch," to, "well, I mean he’s never been ugly—but like how gross of AU me, like why would I jump into bed with—well, no okay I can see it. Yeah, okay I won’t lie, I definitely see the sex appeal. I’m just gonna…fake seduce him just to fuck with him a little bit. Yeah. That’ll show him. He’ll be so humiliated..." before immediately jumping to, "you know, I bet I could fuck him way better than AU me could.”

Like we don't even have evidence he's slept with a single dude before, but after like 12 hours with new Shizun he's already progressed to "so here's how I'll get my first male wife into the harem,"

[laughableconcept]

This right here is why I keep checking the Luo BingGe x Shen Yuan results in AO3.

For a man that confident and dripping with other waifu options, the speedy descent into test driving homosexuality with our favorite transmigrator is peak.

I get endless enjoyment from BingGe thinking it'll be a quick and novel capture target, just add to harem and move on the to the next one, only to have completely underestimated his attraction to Shen Yuan, and getting himself domesticated by the end of the fic.
