Influences and acknowledgements for Tweet!fic

[amara1783]

Kia ora whānau! Just thought I'd list some of the influences for my Zhao Yunlan rescues the SID from Pon Farr fic that I've been Tweet!ficcing over at Amara1783

First I'd like to thank Priest, and Weilan, and Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu, and everybody who worked on Guardian to make it the awesome disaster we know and love!

Thank you so much to all the Chinese fans active in the English fandom who translate and provide cultural context for the stuff on the show - you guys are the real MVP!

fandoestrans is awesome and neat and I have learned SO MUCH from all the excellent bite-size Chinese lessons she posts, and even managed to remember some of it! And she is great at not just translating the words but the culture and context.

qikiqtarjuaq in addition to doing translations and making excellent resource threads is posting Guardian Body Language Higlights which have been super useful to me.

oftenimprudent posted some great tips on writing Chinese characters.

The entire story is riffing off of yue_ix's wonderful idea. My take on it starts here and continues at Amara1783 which is locked so that nobody has unwanted porn showing up on their feed, because Twitter is a hellsite that doesn't let you untag yourself or mute threads so you don't see them anymore.

Thank you to everyone who has pointed out wonky bits in the story, pointed out what exactly I was writing, responded to polls, suggested music choices, and been inspired to write porn on main. I <3 you all!

The following are fics that inspired or influenced me in the writing of Zhao Yunlan rescues the SID from Pon Farr and its sequels:

♥ Bend and Not Break by mabyn
Explicit
Summary: Zhao Yunlan has a tough day at the office. Shen Wei helps him relax.

♥ A canvas for your touch by naye
Explicit
“Impatient,” Shen Wei smiles, but the ferocity in the expression doesn’t make Zhao Yunlan consider whether he might be getting more than he bargained for, not for a single heartbeat.

♥ Both followed and led by naye
Explicit
“Why can't you ever just obey?” Shen Wei says, more fierce than frustrated, hands fisted at his sides, and Zhao Yunlan’s mouth goes perfectly dry.

♥ PornStar AU by FayJay
Explicit

♥ The Unexpected Legacy and related works by FayJay
Explicit
Gothic nonsense, Guardian-style.

Special appreciation to this gif, one of many that unnaye has posted that provide continual inspiration.

Also yantantether has posted some truly gorgeous picspams - first the Bai Yu tonguespam, and then, before I'd even begun to recover from that, she posted Zhu Yilong looking... some kind of a way which has personally victimised me! ;D

My GOODNESS that's some fabulous company! I'm genuinely honored and beyond pleased you'd find my stories so engaging! I know I've been VERY engaged in yours. <3<3<3 (Apologies for disappearing last week.)

And yeah. That gif. I've uh. Been distracted by it myself...

[amara1783]

*eyeroll* Dajie! You don't have to freakin' apologise for... I'm honestly struggling to describe what you're even apologising for, because you didn't disappear, I HAVE LITERALLY INTERACTED WITH YOU EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, so I can only assume you are apologising for not commenting on the Tweetfic after you'd said you were going to focus on finishing your WIP. Which is maybe not quite on the level of Shen Wei apologising for BEING SPIED ON, but it is UP THERE. *glares fondly* It's not assigned reading homework, sillyhead. And I have a nice wee hoard of your previous comments to go and purr over when I need reminding that my words make sense to people who are not me, and yes I do hoard them and purr over them :D

I wouldn't describe your stories as, er, 'engaging' so much as 'gloriously hot, brainmelty, and warm and snuggly' all in one. I managed to comment on one of the stories linked only so far, because of aforementioned brainmeltiness that makes coherency and the ability to form sentences go out the window.

I'm so glad you like my Tweetfic (and blushing at the praise). I am SO enjoying writing it, and thrilled it's making other people happy :D

Yes but you've been tweetficcing more and I've been saving it up rather than reading and then I'm like "...but I want to read it!!" and "but then I have less time to write!" and it's very much one of those things where I know it's nothing you'll take offense at BUT I wish I could do more things at the same time. ♥

Oh my. That is LOVELY to hear! (This is the first fandom where I've written explicit stories so it never ceases to amaze me that what I like is resonating with others!)

And yes, your tweetfic has been a DELIGHT.
