Pingxie Exchange 2023
*taps the mic* Is this thing on?
So, time got a little away from me and I have abruptly realized that it's that time of year again. I wanted to put out a little post to gauge whether or not there is enough interest to run this exchange again this year. But I realize that time is of the essence if I want to get this up and off the ground any time soon.
So! How about a poll?
I also had a vague thought of perhaps adding videos as an option for what you can create for a recipient and adding the DMBJ mobile game as an option the way the Time Raiders movie is an option (i.e., you can choose it but it can't be your only option). So if you could sound off in the replies if either of those would be of interest to you, that would be appreciated. ^_^
Thanks, everyone!

Zhang Qiling's Birthday Month Special Recs
❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧✽✽✽❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧
Artist: 刘巴布
Happy birthday, Xiaoge! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧🎉🎉
It's a little late, but November isn't over yet >.<
I feel like there is nothing much I can do to celebrate Xiaoge's birthday. So, I will just recommend several PingXie fanfictions in Zhang Qiling's perspective, using the first person or third person POV. Most of them are in canon setting. The stories are different despite in the same setting, you can give it a try (人 •͈ᴗ•͈). Anyway, I will try to look for the missing links...
There is also a short analysis/meta/discussion about Zhang Qiling's timeline that I found on Zhihu. Maybe just some thoughts to ponder, the overall DMBJ's timeline is confusing to begin with. Although it is relatively short, their analysis is pretty neat and the comments are interesting. It's mainly focused on Xiaoge before he met Wu Xie. On a side note, it was posted in 2020. Here is the link if you are interested:

Thank you to everyone who voted in the first poll! There's still a day left to vote if you'd like to, but at this point I feel confident that there is enough interest to run the exchange again this year.
So on to my next question... sign-ups for this exchange usually run from June 18th to June 28th with an assignment due date of August 10th and a work reveal date of August 17th (the day Xiaoge returned from behind the Bronze Gate).
However, this year, the Small-Medium Ship Exchange has had a delay. This means that works are due for that exchange on June 28th. Therefore, I suspect that the 18th to the 28th will be prime stress time for anyone participating in that exchange and people may not want to sign up for another in the middle of that. 😬
So I'm thinking of moving the sign-up time for this exchange to a different time.
(Also, please keep in mind that no matter when sign-ups are, your works will still be due on August 10th, and there will be a few days lag time between sign-ups and assignments going out as I run matching. So, the later sign-ups are, the less time you will have to create your works.)
Thank you all for helping me out again!

Restart Window Paper Series by 槐安国师/槐安鸽师/HAGS
Happy Lunar New Year 2024!! 🎊🐉
【麒麟从此年年常在,无邪无忧岁岁平安】
“From now on, Qilin will always be there every year. May you be innocent and safe every year.”
—(mtl)
—☆—
Sorry, it's a bit late, but here are the fic recs no. 106 to 109 "Restart—Pierce the Window Paper Trilogy". These fics are closely related to each other. There is a recommended reading order by the writer:
《悬崖》 "Cliff" → 《命蛊》 "Fate Gu" → 《深海以下》 "Below the Deep Sea" → 《敦伦之乐》 "The Joy of Dunlun*" (Bonus 🚗)
—☆—
1️⃣ [PX Fic Rec 106] 悬崖 "Cliff"
Status: Complete | Language: Chinese | Length: 25 Chapters | Tags: Canon Setting—Restart—Filling the Pit, Window Paper has not been pierced | What's inside the fic: Wu Xie's First Person POV, Action/Adventure
About this fic: This fic fills the scene after NPSS's statement that he got drunk and changed the story. It starts from when Pangzi entered the calling spring from tulou, and Wu Xie met Liu Sang. There are some additional PingXie scenes and other necessary changes for the sake of the plot.
—☆—
2️⃣ [PX Fic Rec 107] 命蛊 "Fate Gu"
Status: Complete | Language: Chinese | Length: 30 Chapters | Tags: Canon Setting—Restart—Yucun, Clear Water, Window Paper, HE | What's inside the fic: Wu Xie's First Person POV, Action/Adventure, Ambiguous Relationship, Life Span Talk
About this fic: This fic is a continuation from 《悬崖》 "Cliff". After their last adventure in Restart, Iron Triangle came back to Yucun. However, for some reason, Xiaoge and Fatty's wound couldn't heal for a long time. In order to find the cure, they once again embarked in a new adventure. The main topic of this fic is the life span matter and it is solved here.
—☆—
3️⃣ [PX Fic Rec 108] 深海以下 "Below the Deep Sea"
Status: Complete + Extra | Language: Chinese | Length: 22 Chapters + 8 Extras | Tags: Canon Setting—Ten Years—Restart—Yucun, Pierce the Window Paper, Double Perspective, HE | What's inside the fic: Wu Xie's First Person POV, Zhang Qiling's First Person POV
About this fic: After Zhang Qiling came back, he took it for granted that he and Wu Xie were already together, but Wu Xie mistakenly thought that the other party was straight and insists that he was actually straight too. To make it worse, Wu Xie didn’t dare to ask or say anything about it.
"Last question, what is the deepest place on the seabed?"
I thought for a while and said, "How do I know this? With the current modern technology, it is still impossible to explore such a deep place, and whether there is a deeper place is also an unknown field. It is estimated that only the sea itself knows."
"Do you understand?" The fat man looked at me and gestured upwards with his hands, "What can be measured and seen is the part that is exposed. The part that is most hidden..." He poked me with his finger, "Only the sea knows."
—☆—
4️⃣ [PX Fic Rec 109] 敦伦之乐 "The Joy of Dunlun*"
Rating: M/R | Status: Complete | Language: Chinese | Words: 2,886 | Tags: Canon Setting—Yucun, Zhang Qiling's First Person POV | What's inside the fic: First Time, Established Relationship
About this fic: This part is also the first extra story of 《深海以下》 "Below the Deep Sea".
Before having a relationship, I regarded sex as optional. Although I occasionally had thoughts, I was not sure whether both of us were ready.
Until one night, I had a s*xual impulse towards Wu Xie.
—☆—
Writer's attribute: PingXie Only
Personal opinion: It's really really worth to read! The overall story is great 💖 The plot is not too fast or too slow, and the whole thing makes sense. I think PingXie is a type of ship where everything needs to be taken slowly, it's easy to become greasy if you don't write it carefully... and the writer really did a good job, even Xiaoge's smut part doesn't feel out of place. The double perspective is also impressive, I can feel Xiaoge's strong and independent personality here. I mean that he always has his own thought, even in canon, he isn't the type of character who likes to follow along blindly without thinking. He comes to this point because he wants to do so, he always has his own reason to do something. It's just that Wu Xie's perspective make it difficult to know what Xiaoge is thinking. This is one of the best window paper fics I've ever read! (*˘︶˘*).。*♡
A little note: Dunlun means s*x between husband and wife, more info here.
Where to read:
Lofter (the search function doesn't work properly on web, so I give you the archive page link instead).
Or go to the writer's Weibo.
For the 🚗 part, AO3 is also available.
