Have you read Saint for Rent by Ru Xu?

Yes, completely!

Yes, partially

No

I've never heard of it

Voting ended onJan 16

"Saint runs an inn for Time Travelers, which leaves him little time to write his trashy romance novels. Always a pit stop in the crisscrossing lives of his out-of-date friends and family, Saint wonders where his place is in a world that is quickly passing him by. Unfortunately, he also seems to attract more… supernatural 'guests,' too."

Propaganda:

"Timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly goo. Family drama!"

Hiii im Grace/ Isaiah, i remember finding Newsprints in my Primary school library and just became obsessed with it since then, I'm in highschool now and finding out my fav graphic novel author makes yaoi brings me so much joy and i love how much newsprints inspired my own art and even my own genderfluid identity!!! I adore your artstyle and I will continue to be a fan for as long as you write.

much love from Australia, fan since 2021 :3

That makes me so happy to hear!!!!!! \( ; v ;)/

How does Appeal!Pilot differ from Appeal!Redux?

APPEAL! Pilot is a 40-page comic about how Loyal and Azhar met. :3 APPEAL! Redux is a little artbook about their life as a family!

Hi, Ru! I'm working on a fandom wiki for all of your books (mainly NewsPrints) and I just wanted to ask, is there any little facts about NewsPrints I can add to the books page, the world page when i get to it, and the characters pages I'm doing? The only ones I have done are Jack Jingle and Blue. Or even some images from the books would be helpful, love your work btw :3

Oh, cool, that's so awesome to know! :D Aside from my NewsPrints artbook HeadLines, I've posted a bit of extra artwork (not in NewsPrints or EndGames) on my tumblr, along with answers to questions from readers.
