• Roundtable: Twitter Threadfic (1:30:10)↑
  Consulting Fans Emma Grant, Juli, and Suspup wonder: why are people writing so much fanfic on Twitter these days?

  • Emma’s recs:
    • Twitter fic by @wwxwashere:  wei ying who swears to be straight but puts “suck a dick” on his bucket list because “we gotta live a little, yk? ahaha”
    • Twitter fic by @varnesbutworse:  love 2 think about a story where wwx texts lwj a morning selfie with bite marks after the first time lwj gets drunk & lwj just … assumes they fucked & is like well, this isn’t how i wanted to begin this but at least it’s begun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. he shows up at wwx’s house
    • https://twitter.com/yibeauxreads (lots of rts of cql-centric threadfics)
  • Juli’s recs:
    • Marvel Media (tumblr) – (almost?) exclusively twitter screenshots
    • Marvel Social Media AU (tumblr) – mostly twitter screenshots
    • Young Avengers Twitter (tumblr) – exclusively twitter screenshots
    • Social Media Fics Multifandom Collection (ao3) – like 70% twitter fics maybe
  • Sus’ recs:
    • The Sugar Daddy Fic by @dailyibo: wangxian socmed au where wei wuxian gets himself a sugar daddy and lan wangji finds a friend
    • Twitter fic by @trickybonmot: In Caiyi town, there is a bridge, a high, picturesque arch, bustling by day. By night, a quiet place to stand and contemplate the moon. Tonight, a boat passing beneath might catch sight of two figures at its peak. 
    • Twitter fic by @tiptoe39: date is gorgeous. Gorgeous, but he doesn’t have much to say. Wei Ying peeks over the edge of his menu and examines that unsmiling face.
    • Twitter fic by @isocrime: okay okay ok ok ok, so, post-canon nhs is a wreck, right? ten years chasing a terrible revenge, sick with the knowledge that if he can tear down jin guangyao he can destroy anyone and anything. the triumph drains out of him. he’s afraid of the man he’ll become if he continues
