Epiphany

It’s just crossed my mind that Ao3 could very well be the modern tower of Babel, what with the amount of stories, cultures, knowledge, creativity, art, languages, talent, and it’s just so freaking awesome!

AO3 is banned in China on 29th Feb, 2020.

You are going to see less and less Chinese fics on the website

You are probably never going to see Chinese readers commenting in your fics anymore

They are the best readers, they never give negative comments and are always supportive. Although you probably don’t know, they talk about your fic in their small communities or group chats and recommend them to other potential readers. A large proportion of Chinese readers love to translate your fic into their language, that’s why you see quite some fics have Chinese translation.

I don’t want to talk about why it is banned. It’s just sooner or later. One more window closed for the voice of freedom.

I’m a Chinese writer. I write in English. I’m currently living overseas. But if I go back to the country, there’s a large chance you are not going to see me updating again.

I want to remember this day. This day the last Utopia is taken away. This day the iron fist on our throats tightened again.

ON好き…衣装も色も…かっこよくしたかったけどできなかった、なんか切ない感じになってしまった 本当の？MV映画みたいですごい…すごすぎてまだよく飲み込めてない

Chapter 4 is out! 😄 Thanks to the amazing @stankris who has always been there to support, help, review and chat. Your presence is important to me and our writing meetings mean a lot 💖
