new shoes

[marycrawford]

A while ago, I wrote two stories that featured Shen Wei's very opinionated skilled tailor, the man responsible for all those tightly tailored suits (yum). And then mumblemumble came in and wrote a sequel! It was such a cool surprise, I've never had an original character appear in someone else's work before, and it's a fantastic story.

I'm glad you mentioned this! It's really enjoyable, and the more Lao Xie pops up around town the better, sez I.

[marycrawford]

I'm glad you checked it out, yay! Lao Xie is welcome to guest star anywhere, provided he doesn't have to blindfold himself (he might allow Shen Wei a single besotted blink in Zhao Yunlan's direction, but that is the absolute limit).

Ah what a cool fandom experience!

[marycrawford]

Yes! It feels very special.

Lao Xie is an absolutely delightful character, so I'm not at all surprised he inspired someone else!

[marycrawford]

I'm so delighted to see him pop up (or well, be alluded to) in someone else's world. it makes the character feel so alive <3

I'm happy it made you happy! Once the idea for the suit fic was planted in my head, there could only be one tailor for the job. 😀 He's basically canon, as far as I am concerned. <3

[marycrawford]

The idea that he's canon now is also very happymaking! And he would absolutely claim that as his due.

And it's a lovely story, I admire the 'vulnerable and glittery' line so much, sigh <3
