To those who are confused as to where and how to buy OldXian's new artbook and merchandise, let me try to break it down for you.

A few days ago, OldXian announced the pre-sale of their new artbook which comes in two versions.

Variant A (regular) includes: - the new artbook - a poster - 2x postcards

Variant B (deluxe edition) includes: - the new artbook - a poster - 2x postcards - 4x buttons - a shishiki board - a sticker sheet - a 24 page booklet

Furthermore there's two new acrylic standees which can be purchased separately. A tianshan and a zhanyi version.

The cost of these items is as follows: Artbook (version A): 89 Yuan [roughly: 13 USD | 12 Euro | 10 GBP] Artbook (version B): 189 Yuan [roughly: 27 USD | 25 Euro 21 GBP] Acrylic Standee: 49 Yuan (each) [roughly: 7 USD | 7 Euro | 6 GBP]

All of these items are available for purchase in their taobao store now, under this link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?ft=t&id=786971367604

But if you have trouble creating a taobao account or your country isn't on the (very short) taobao shipping list [China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand] then you have several other options to get your hands on these new items.

1. You could use aliexpress, koonbooks or any other China-based shopping app/website to buy these things from a 3rd party seller.

Now, keep in mind that these sellers obviously want to make a profit, so you will pay more than in the original taobao shop. However, on the plus side, they usually offer free shipping, which is nice considering that items like artbooks are heavy and shipping costs are based on weight, so if you pay over, some of that money also goes towards covering the shipping costs, which is not bad.

The risk of ordering with such a website is obviously that the independent seller could turn out to be a scammer and keep your money and not send you the goods. I have no idea about koonbook's policies, however in the case of aliexpress you are at least protected by such practices and should you not receive what you paid for, you will be refunded and get your money back.

Also keep in mind that the artbook and merch is still in production at this point! But Old Xian said the merch will be shipped out BEFORE May 20th. That's less than 4 weeks from now.

That being said - in some cases the merch will be cheaper on aliexpress after official ship-out, because there will be more people offering it, competing for best prices.

However there's obviously also a risk that the deluxe edition will sell out before that or that these re-sellers only ship the artbook itself with none of the extras.

Here's two links where you can have a look at potential resellers, but carefully think about all the pro's and con's I gave you before you consider to buy. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006893284852.html https://koonbooks.com/products/old-xian-19-days-art-collection-3-chinese?variant=46493038674166 2.

The other option you have is using a taobao shopping agent. If you google that, you'll find dozens of websites offering their services. I myself have used parcelup, 42agent and superbuy before. Here's links to all of them: https://www.superbuy.com/ https://parcelup.com/ https://www.42agent.com/ What all of these agents have in common is that you need to create an account BEFORE you can start searching and shopping. All you need for that is a valid email address. I'll show how it works with superbuy screenshots here. After you signed up, you can copy the taobao-link I gave you earlier and paste it into the search-field.

What will come up is an embedded view of the taobao listing where you can pick which variant you want and then add it to your shopping cart.

Once you have added everything you want, click on the shopping cart and simply follow all further payment instructions.

They will also ask you if you want them to keep the original packaging or if you want them to remove anything unnecessary and repack everything in order to make it weigh less so shipping will be cheaper. It's up to you. You will then be asked to pay for items, domestic shipping (so mosspaca studios can ship the goods to your agent's warehouse) and in some cases a service fee. For example, superbuy has no service fee, however they stopped offering paypal as payment method recently so you'd need a credit card or other online methods to pay for your order and everything. Parcelup, however, still offers paypal, but they also charge service fees. (They are fairly low though, if you ask me.) So after you paid for your goods, they will order the items for you and then you'll have to wait about 4-5 weeks for them to arrive, because keep in mind - like I said earlier - everything is still in production and Old Xian aims to ship everything out before the 20th of May. There's hundreds, if not thousands of parcels arriving to all agent's warehouses every day, so it will take them a few days to sort through things after your order arrives. You need to be patient!! They will get back to you with pictures of your order, trust me. When this happens you need to look at the pics and if everything is okay, you can reply to them to proceed. You will then be presented with shipping quotes. Usually they offer more than one shipping method and some are tracked, others are untracked, some will take only a week or two until they arrive at your doorstep, others will take 6 weeks or up to two months. Choose wisely which method you want and consider what is in your budget. (Obviously fast shipping with tracking is more expensive than slow shipping without it, however personally I'd always recommend a tracked service.) Just to give you an estimate on what to expect when it comes to international shipping - parcels with that amount of merch and weight, will always cost me about 50 USD or more to ship from China to the UK, where I live. (So keep that in mind before you order. International shipping is very expensive!) But once you picked a shipping method, you pay for it (that's your 2nd payment) and once they have processed that - your goodies will be on the way to you within a few days. And that's it. Sit down, eat your food and wait patiently for it to arrive. If you have further questions, just plop them into the comments and I'll try to answer them.

Before heading back into the studio, he can see his phone lighting up with a notification and so he picks it up to see if Guanshan has texted him back already.

Oh. So he's already finished with everything and probably on the bus right now.

He Tian thinks about it. There's several options now.

>Well, it's up to you what you prefer to do. I mean, you could come to the studio and just wait in my office. I'll have another recording session but I can tell my client that someone will be in the office and I know he won't mind.<

>Or you could head home and I'll stop by after I'm finished here.<

He's about to put his phone away, not sure if he should even propose a third offer but after a moment of hesitation he does it anyway. Fuck it. All in or nothing.

>Orrr… you could actually head to my place and wait there for me. I can send you the address and the passcode to get in…<

since we all know tumblr is now shitty and homophobic and super hostile towards sex workers etc - just head over to my twitter to see the full image~ https://twitter.com/Lum_Cheng

This is a good reminder for strangers on the internet not to spam someone's tumblr ask/inbox with anonymous, unsolicited sex stories. (Tumblr has a no porn policy - what the FUCK were you thinking, anon??! Tryna get pillow banned??) If you're that horny and desperate, I'd advice you to go watch some porn - or (if you prefer texting) make a profile on any dating app and find likeminded people who get off by stuff like this, OR! (if your kink is doing this in public) find someone on twitter [18+ allowed] who's willing to sext publicly with you.

Q wants u bad and HC smiled approvingly, put his dick in your mouth and your fingers deep in his boom,sweaty eye contact ......what does HC is thinking? What are you doing next!!

Probably throw up 🙂 haha well no I can’t do that, fun fact I don’t have gag reflexes and yes I found out exactly as you may be thinking, so far I haven’t had a single complaint in that department so hopefully HC can praise me a little although he already smiled and that is good enough for me, ok now just to be safe if there’s anyone who doesn’t suppose to see this content please look the other way as I reply to anon, don’t worry I won’t be explicit, mostly because is Q but also because I’m not good at describing this stuff, there’s a reason why I don’t write p*rn, my thing is pictures or audio, so please forgive me anonymous

What’s He Chen’s thinking? That Q is a whore and I’m obedient as hell, I can’t fake to like someone so chances are he knows I despise this bastard nevertheless He Cheng wants me to do this so…

Dick in mouth and fingers in boom, got it, it’s a good thing that I trim my nails quite often, I’m guessing my fingers are lubricated with actual lub you know what this fucker only deserves spit, swirls in the head would be the way to go while I find my way to that perfect spot, and you may be thinking why so fast? Well because I don’t want to have this asshole inside my mouth longer than necessary, once I found it and a few licks + no idea how it’s called when you use your lips to go up and down the shaft and just when I’m about to actually use my skills this idiot finish, missing my face thank heavens, he may be thick but also doesn’t last long, He Cheng knows this and that’s why I’m doing it since he wants to fuck him but he needs him to last longer than 5 minutes

As I said I’m no good at this and Q being the other part is definitely not ideal at least for me, listen to my podcast I read p*rn there

Chapter 20 is up~ https://archiveofourown.org/works/50087251/chapters/138562363 Sorry it took forever, but it was so much to write.

He Tian watches the whole thing unfold, and it's fascinating.

It's not the first time he's seen this - maybe not to this extent - but it's the first time he sees Guanshan acting so unhinged.

He recognizes the exact moment the other one starts coming (twice overall actually!), not just from his hot seed spilling all over them, but the way his entire body reacts, twisting and spasming in his lap while he becomes very vocal.

The imagery of this will be burned into He Tian's brain forever, he knows it.

Curled onto his side, almost facing him now, Guanshan's body suddenly goes limp and He Tian almost makes a snarky remark about coming so hard that it makes one pass out.

But… there's something about the sudden unexpected weight of the redhead's body…

"Hey… Mo Guanshan? …Little Mo!"

Please have a look ^^ https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Elainefactory If you have questions or want customs, just drop me a line~

He licks over his suddenly very dry lips and realizes his accelerated heartbeat. Why is he nervous? He's done this hundreds of times before. So why does it feel so much more intimate than anything else before?

The Edger, chapter 19 by @rainy19days and @elaine19day

For @rainy19days ♥ Happy Name Day!! (Edit from 날지 않는 새)

It has been such a long time since he was texting casually with someone throughout the day and even meeting up for food now and then. Not to mention the late night talks on the phone.

If he wouldn't know better, he'd say this is how many relationships start out. Not the kind where you fuck first and date later, but the one where you get to know each other slowly and discover more sides of the other person over time. And then you fall for them more and more along the way.

But this is not a romance movie and He Tian is gay while Guanshan is heterosexual. There can never be more than friendship. And he doesn't want to think of himself as ungrateful, because he values their newfound friendship - he really does! - but the heart wants what it wants and He Tian can hardly stop himself from indulging in some fake scenarios in his head where they actually start dating and become a couple.

If only…

The Edger, chapter 18 by @rainy19days and @elaine19day

Guan Shan is already on his way back inside when another text makes him stop abruptly at the threshold of the building.

He takes a step back and leans on the wall, reading it slowly a couple of times.

The cold afternoon wind grazes his burning cheeks and damp neck. He shudders before hastily typing a reply and eventually getting inside.

<Yes, Sir>

The Edger, chapter 17 by @rainy19days and @elaine19day

He Tian's heart stops for a second when Guanshan picks up and he can hear his voice. It's quiet and hushed - for a moment He Tian forgot that Guanshan isn't living alone and probably has to be quiet in the evening.

"Sorry, I'll be quick—", he starts and mentally kicks himself for not considering that. "I… are you mad at me? I shouldn't have said what I said, I guess, my damn brain has no filter, ugh."

He takes a deep breath, trying to calm his frantic heartbeat.

"I just… I don't want you to be angry again and… Uhm… don't be angry, please? I promise I'll be more careful with what I say in the future."

The Edger, chapter 16 by @rainy19days and @elaine19day

He turns his head when he can sense movement out of the corner of his eye and can't help but start to smile when he sees Guanshan approaching him with the brightest yellow umbrella. How sweet of him!

He Tian uncrosses his ankles and stands up a little taller, assuming a wider stance while extending his free arm towards the redhead.

"Nah, it's fine", he says. "Come here."

The Edger, chapter 15 by @rainy19days and @elaine19day

I remember you talked about some of these at some points on twitter XD I'm most intrigued by the oneshot tho (Business and Pleasure) since HT and SL hating each other and Mo being a sex worker - unfff, great stuff!! I also remember you talking about the restaurant AU with the 3some and the pornstar AU - also both things I will highly encourage you to continue writing, haha ♥

So this is the list of all of my solid wips!! All of them have gone further than just a conceptual idea and moved into chapter outlines, bits of dialogue etc. They are ordered in their level of completion.

Besides INAP, let me know which ones of the other fics interest you! I might prioritise it more 👀
