"(And I need more time in my days, oops ...)"
I feel you! *SYMPATHY* I feel like I might have made a bit too many things too fast in the second half of August tbh, lol, and now I had a realization about the Wishlist too - with at least the Bingo and 2 existing exchange assignments in September (one of which I started on yesterday and got to nearly 3K words in one go, wtf xD), I can only gift 4-5 people tops? And I'm already skipping Kinktober and probably several other things, lol. But maybe I can throw some icons or drabbles around. :D

Tbh I may need to slow down on the creating a bit. xD (The conversations + reading fics are really important to me too! ♡) And daaamn is the Wishlist month an unfortunate time to slow down, but it is what it is? xD I figured I either put away at least a few of the things I was going to make or miss out on a whole lot of other fun.
no subject
It sucks how everything is a trade-off, doesn't it? At least, going by this epic collection of goodies, even if you slow down a bit, there's still plenty of room for you to be amazingly productive. ;D

Much fewer recs than usual, and yet they still don't fit in the same comment as my works, lol. :D Or maybe it's not much fewer, they're just much shorter - a lot of them are drabbles or not fics. :) (I spent very little time with other people's fanworks this month because of all the creating I've been doing. :))

Summary: Zhao Yunlan’s cellphone abruptly broke through the oppressive silence of his office. The noise startled Zhao Yunlan, but inwardly he couldn't help but sigh with some relief.
An honest to god distraction that he didn't have to make up just to get out of the massive amount of paperwork that sat on his desk, mocking him.
He was absolutely certain paper work would be the death of him someday.
His cellphone trilled for a third time and Zhao Yunlan dug it out of his pocket. He answered it without looking at caller id. His tone far cheery that his words might imply. “This better be good.”
“Boss.” Lin Jing’s harried sounding voice said. “You gotta get down here. Hei Pao Shi is trapped behind an energy barrier, and Lao Chu says you might be the only one able to get past it.”
