Did you know - Tinybirdfarts and I left our corporate jobs 2 years ago to pursue our webcomic dream full time! Here's us talking about this bold move - thank you so much @Viencylee, @clybaby & the team at ComixSG for making this possible! https://t.co/xLPwNQg1Tj

[viency 🐧 @viencylee]

Anyway, I now have a new OC and can't wait to finish telling Maiden Qin's story. I've been struggling with personal creative work recently due to burnout but this game really set my creative cylinders firing. I can't wait to see where Shao takes this game in the future!

[viency 🐧 @viencylee]

GUYS, GET THIS GAME. I had the lovely chance to playtest Swordfarer with Shao today and had to come on and RAVE about the amazing three hours I had just disappearing into the jianghu! I immediately made it sapphic, which was very predictable of me.

Excited to launch the 1st print of "Swordfarer: A Yóuxiá's Tale"/ "游侠传奇" tomorrow at @MakersQuestSG Creators Market 2023!

I built this solo journaling game (using d6s and playing cards) of melancholic wǔxiá vagabonds off "Guided by Firelights" by @RPDeshaies/ @FariRPGs!

[viency 🐧 @viencylee]

There were so many other open plotpoints to pursue that we cldnt tackle before the end of the playtest, because the game's mechanics were able to delicately prompt and provide "stones" for you to turn over when ever it feels right for you to do so.

[MAKAPATAG 👺☭ @makapatag]

BUY BUYYY THIS IS SO GOOD! I played SWORDFARER with shao and it was absolutely elevated by both of us being wuxia fans, we were leaning into genre and went thru twists and turns and i was a kid again watching divisoria movies

[Yilin @ The Lantern and the Night Moths @yilinwriter]

Thank you @jessieyeung at CNN for giving me a chance to talk about how the resolution came as a result of community efforts. I am glad they included the detail about the help I received from @AntonHur, @clarehannahmary, Slin Jung, and ARMY

Bang out that novel and try not to die. Live fucking más, the planet is boiling and no one will care if something was beautiful once! Make trash!

all that glitters IS gold—that’s foil, baby!!

[viency 🐧 @viencylee]

i grew up in Hangzhou, and not far from where this building is

the proximity of stores & services? not a real problem. it's a good thing, in fact

but there actually IS a big problem going on inside of it!! a problem that is an inevitable consequence of neoliberal capitalism

[Rainbow Crate @rainbowcrate]

🌈 Hey Rainbow Readers! Our next list is queer high/epic fantasy! This is for readers who loved books like The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, The Jasmine Throne by Tashi Suri, and Girls of Paper & Fire by Natasha Ngan! 🧵

[Yilin @ The Lantern and the Night Moths @yilinwriter]

@deborah_c My publisher @invisibooks has created a pre-order page for THE LANTERN AND THE NIGHT MOTHS, an anthology of Chinese poetry I edited/translated (that includes Qiu Jin's work), accompanied by my essays on translation. Please consider pre-ordering!

[Yilin @ The Lantern and the Night Moths @yilinwriter]

Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

[Strange Horizons @strangehorizons]

If volunteer-run online magazines can figure out how to publish translations without full-on copyright infringement, the British Museum has no excuse. Translation is part of the artistic process and needs to be compensated and credited.

[Tan Shao Han / 陈绍涵 @TanShaoHan]

Woo, two of my non-fiction works are featured in Strange Horizons! I'm very happy to share my musings and reflections on wuxia and xianxia in this special issue!

(Many thanks to @jolantru for invaluable editorial perspectives and refining these essays!)
