hiiii ally, thank you for the update ❤️❤️❤️
love our bi disaster fic so much, and i hope working w jack means we finally see george soon(ish)
since you have so many fics on the go at the same time, i wanted to ask if you have a particular method to keep it all organized
Hello Sweet Anon!
Thank you so much for this ask and for reading! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the new chapter of You Know Where the City Is! Fictional!Matty and Fictional!Taylor are my favorite bisexual disaster duo and I have been having SO MUCH FUN writing them- especially in that 2014/2015 time period - they were both hella messy 😂 Fictional!George will be making his appearance in the New Year 👀 as per the current outline, it looks like he will be arriving very soon... in Chapter 13 which feels almost too perfect!
In terms of keeping everything organized: I have a note book for each chaptered fic / universe (all of the Infection 'Verse fics are in one note book) and within my notebook I have an overall summary, chapter outlines, as well as random but important plot notes / continuity notes / some character background for that particular fic. Because I am old school these are all physical notebooks I got at Target and write in with a black Sharpie pen.
I also have a Google Sheets document with all of the prompt requests I have in my inbox. If they are from a particular list the spreadsheet links to the post with that list. I also have a little print out calendar where I make a note of what fic was updated on what day / if I posted a prompt fill. Is it very extra? Yes, however I love office supplies and organization so all these little organizational / planning side quests are half the fun for me! Not to say that I don't make mistakes sometimes and get X version of Fictional!Matty confused with Y version of Fictional!Matty. BUT all my little lists seem to help at least keep everyone mostly in the right universe!
Thank you so much for reading, and for this ask! Once again I'm so glad that you enjoyed the new chapter! I really, really, really love this fic and sometimes worry it is too niche / I am too much of my own target audience with it, so I just get so ridiculously happy to hear that others are enjoying it as well! Thank you again and have a great rest of your night!
❤️Ally

feng xin gets seen as someone who's subservient and a blind rule-follower but he didn't really quite come off that way to me in the novel. if he were a total rule-follower he wouldn't cuss with such vulgar words all the time in heaven - but he clearly doesn't care about social etiquette in heaven or elsewhere. he talked back to xie lian on multiple occasions. when xie lian threatened to break up their friendship in book 2, feng xin's response was to laugh and insinuate that xie lian wouldn't survive a day without feng xin. clearly talking back to xie lian. he even punched xie lian in the face in book 4. he disagreed with xie lian's actions in book 4 when xie lian began to do things like nearly kill an innocent mortal just for insulting xie lian, bc this goes against feng xin's own moral compass.
i personally don't see him as a subservient rule-follower but as someone who deeply respects xie lian for xie lian's principles and moral compass (which feng xin agrees with bc they align with feng xin's already-present strong principles of his own). it's not blind following but deep respect out of having shared principles.

all I'm saying is that if Fitz treated Sophie the way she treated him while they were together in regards to Keefe, ya'll would have hung him
and I mean the emotional cheating with his best friend. The keeping secrets. The dodging questions. The lying. Secret missions. Keeping him a secret from friends. Letting said best friend's bodyguard insult him in front of the whole room and not coming to his defense. Secretly agreeing with the insults and denying it later. Letting his traitorous brother go without consulting him, even though it really mattered to him. Going and getting with the best friend like five seconds after the break up, after giving him the impression that she wanted to make it work with him.
listen- they're all messy as hell, and they make mistakes, but boy am I tired of acting like she was a saint in that situation.
He was unreasonable. I'm well aware.
But so was she.
she made him her first choice and then proceeded to treat him like her second.
Just bc she felt hurt by him in her POV doesn't mean she was automatically correct. And same goes for him (only difference is we never get his POV fully)

My mind is in darkness now - my God, I am sick! I've been used!
And you knew all the time!
God! I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime
Your foul, bloody crime!
You have murdered me! You have murdered me!
