#…if anyone is curious how long Truce ch3 is…it’s longer than 80 pgs and I still have 3 scenes left to finesse

Heya! I’m a big fan of your art and stories but I’m just wondering if you have any plans to update older fics such as Prince and the Baron or The Untold Tale? Because I saw that they’re active but on waitlist but it’s been several years for the Untold tale. So I’m wondering if there’s any plans at all?

Hiya, anon! 💞 I do have plans for them actually! Trust me, as the writer, I want to update my works faster more than any of ya—but not if it’ll sacrifice the writing quality. Presently I’m going down my list so after Truce ch3 is uploaded, it’ll be TUT’s turn. After TUT ch6 will be an intermediary update of either TNOTG ch2 or Truce ch4, and then it’ll be P&B ch5.

I’ve made peace with the unfortunate reality that I’m just a very slow writer 🫠 I blame my inner perfectionist. Because I’m a multifandom writer, I go through a process akin to resetting my memory each time I return to a WIP and having to hardcore reimmerse myself in the fandom. It’s how I can preserve the canon characterizations and each fic’s unique atmosphere because each fic of mine has its own worldbuilding and idiosyncrasies. And that way I don’t get my wires crossed and, y’know, accidentally bring modern Americanisms into my Chinese-novel inspired cultivation danmei fic. Or make a Chinese character say American English or British English or vice versa (y’all don’t want to see Shen Yuan or Blitzø suddenly break character and speak in Cockney, right?)

Truce ch3 is presently shaping up to the longest chapter I’ve ever written which is why it’s taking so long _(:3」∠)_ But I will make up for the wait with a dense-enough chapter to chew through so it’ll be worth the long wait for whichever fic the reader has been waiting patiently for!
