Check out our carrd!

If I'm already paired up with an artist, can I still apply as a writer and be paired with them again?

Hi there!

Do you mean someone you're working with currently? Or someone you were paired up with last year and want to be paired with them again? Either way, if you both want to work together, then we'll need you both to sign up and just put down each other's names in question that asks if you want to be paired with someone specific.

Hope that helps! If not, feel free to reach back out to us!

Will the xicheng bang run again this year 👀

Thank you for reaching out! That's a very good question, and we are happy to announce...

I come baring a gift to the Xicheng nation (and the Wangxian nation kinda) once again.

I had the pleasure of partaking in @thelotuscloud Big Bang Xicheng event and I wrote this fic with art done by the wonderful Paynesgrey over on 🦋: https://bsky.app/profile/heatherkrowe.bsky.social

And this fic was lovingly beta read by @oceanicegg (thank you so much)

Please enjoy the feast I have cooked up and let me know what you think.

Chapter 1-3 are up on Ao3 so feel free to read them and chapter 4 will be posted on the 29th Nov.
