Thank you all for supporting Qing Ya. I'm tearing up!
I took several months off because I wasn't in a very good place mentally. Now I've finally managed to get a little of my groove back, so I decided to start another fanfic based on the Trilogy.
I have to say, Perfect World really doesn't draw nearly as much interest as Shrouding the Heavens. The recent new rules have been a little hard to get a handle on, too, but I still reached my target-an average of a thousand subscriptions per chapter! I'm really happy about that~
But I feel like I just don't have much talent for original fiction. Woe is me~
Looks like I'll just have to keep muddling along writing fanfic. Crow-heh! Maybe I'll eventually collect the whole Trilogy set bonus (covers face).
Some friends who came over from my last book have already guessed where the scrap of Tattered Cloth came from, though I did borrow a little inspiration from Brother Dong's new book after reading it.
That's right: when I was planning this book, it did have a little connection to the previous one. The way Shaohua's storyline fell apart toward the end of that book still pains me. I actually had an idea of world-shaking brilliance, too, though I don't know whether I'll get a chance to make it happen later (fog).
(I actually hadn't finished reading the whole Trilogy. Before starting this book, I spent a full twenty days reading Perfect World. I finished The Sacred Ruins while writing my previous book, though, and naturally, I'd finished Shrouding the Heavens before starting that one. Come to think of it, the first book by Brother Dong I read was World of Immortals. I still remember bits of it even now. A lot of things
