announcement for my readers

 

I have had plenty of people reaching out to me regarding the recent incident and scandals revolving around Wu Yifan. Thank you all for reaching out to me and asking about my well-being, I really appreciate the love and support, and the fact that you're thinking about me when you heard about the news. Thank you for all your messages. 

There are also people asking me if I'm going to delete or discontinue or leave all of my taoris fics. I've gotten my answer for that and I've said it in my twitter but not all of you follow my social media or talk to me outside AFF, so I will explain my answer here too. 

 

 

1. I will complete my ongoing fics.

Except my catboy au fic, the other fics that's been posted have actually been completed way before this incident happened. I've got the drafts ready and all I need to do is edit them before posting the chapter, so I think I will still be able to complete them. I don't want to leave you hanging with incomplete plot and you deserve to read the complete work (if you want to). Of course, it doesn't mean I will be able to spam updates within a short amount of time, because editing always takes time (and I will no longer make that a pirority on my free time) and I'm still taking a break from this whole mess. 

 

2. I will post my 'finished' fics that haven't been published.

Like most people in the world, I suddenly got a lot of free time ever since the pandemic started because I don't go out as much as I used to. I spend my free time mostly writing down some ideas and drafts, and I end up having plenty of finished drafts ready to be posted. These were all written before the incident with my good and happy memories about taoris, so I don't mind editing the drafts and post the chapters. 

However, with how serious and sensitive his scandal is, I am very careful about the readers who are reading my works. There have been some readers telling me they don't mind reading these 'new fics' since they're all fiction and not really related to the reality of the celebrities, but I also have readers who told me they can no longer read anything related to taoris, or even seeing his name as a character in a fic. 

I am planning to post it in a completely private section and only share the links to my close friends and those who I know will be comfortable to read, but some friends also suggested me to just post those fics here and let you all decide whether you want to read them or not. I do not wish for anybody to force themselves to read my works if they're uncomfortable. You are free to stop reading my works, I understand completely and I am not upset at all. If me posting those 'finished' fics here will bring more harm than good, then I will stick to my original plan of only sharing them privately. 

 

3. I will most likely no longer work on new ideas for taoris. 

I have some work-in-progress in my folders right now and I thought I would be able to post them in the future, but with what's happening right now, I don't think I will be able to continue working on them, at least for now. I know I started writing taoris when the whole world thought they hated each other, so some people are surprised with my decision since they thought I completely separate fiction and reality. I used to think that way too, but now that this sort of thing happened, I realized that I kinda lost my mood and inspiration to write about them like how I used to. 

I don't know if this is only temporary or forever, but right now I don't think I will be able to work on anything new, at least for the time being. So after completing my ongoing fics and posting the 'finished' fics, I will probably retire from writing for this ship.

I do hope I'll change my mind or some sort of miracle can happen because I really love taoris and I really wish to keep writing about them, but for now, this is the only answer I can give. 

 

4. I don't know if I will write for another pairing/fandom soon. 

While I have written some fics for other fandoms and pairings in my AO3, taoris is my biggest inspiration and it is actually the first (and maybe the only) pairing that can make me write so much? They're like my comfort zone and writing about them used to be something fun and relaxing for me, so this incident kinda gave a hard blow to my writing mood. Thank you to all who say that they will still read my works even if I write about another pairing or another fandom, thank you for saying that you love my writings more than the pairing I write about, thank you for supporting me to this extent. I used to think that people only read my works because I'm one of the few authors who write taoris, but it makes me happy to know that you like my plots more than the faces I use in the story. 

If I write again one day, I will inform you all.  

 

 

I still love taoris, I really do, and I think I will keep loving them for a long time or maybe forever. They hold a special place in my heart and make me realize I can give people joy by writing about them, so they will always be part of my life. I do hope I can write about them again someday :)

Feel free to give me your answer/opinion regarding whether I should post the other fics here or just keep them privately. 

Take care and thank you.

Hi. After reading both posts. I think it's fine and that we all respect your decisions. I just wanted to let you know, your an amazing writer and whichever Fandom that you get into will have a wonderful addition. I think like most on here all got to experience taoris through your writing and plot lines than made all of us like the ship. I think you were one of the most prevalent taoris authors to the Fandom that makes your stories memorable to all of us even years later after reading it before. Please keep writing and doing amazing stories!

Hi Jia, I recently returned to reading fanfics again and am so sad about this but it's what it is, and I understand it. But I just want to share how I stumble upon your stories and became the basis of my standard of what good fanfic is :) I'm in a different fandom and not exactly know this shipping but upon reading Little star even though I don't know them the character you portray them is enough to love the stories as it is and it made me read all your fanfic, you always gave a very beautiful and story and thank you for writing and i hope you can still continue writing. Thank you!

Hey again, Jia. Taoris has always been my favorite ship. I love the idea of Taoris and their dynamics. I used to be a huge fan of Tao back in the day and probably will be rooting for him forever. I didn't really care about Kris tbh but he seemed like a cool man. His scandal, I didn't see it coming. I always thought him to be a decent person so yeah (okay I'm not gonna be talking about him that much since I don't really follow him or the timeline of his crimes)...
I understand if you planned to retire from writing about them. I'm grateful that you wrote many, many great Taoris stories because they have been a source of comfort for me. Your stories made me cried and laughed and felt love I never really feel. I will cherish them for the rest of my life. I wish you will be able to continue writing about anything you want since you're great at it.

Hello, xiaojiajia. To be honest, when I first started reading at this site, your story of Taoris 'Heaven in You' caught my attention. It's one of my earliest subscription. At first, I'm reading it as it's new to me. When I realized, I'm already bawling, pouring my heart out because of the story. It's the first time I cried so much reading a fanfic and I was too invested with the story. From then, my interest towards Taoris grows. So many awesome and beautiful Taoris fanfics and you've become one of my favorite authors in this site. My interest in Taoris has led me to write a fanfic about them and yeah, I do understand your feelings. Whatever you decides on, I'll respect your decision as long as you're happy and satisfied with what you have decided.

Hello hello. If there was an authornim who got me hooked with both the idea of ships and Taoris, it was you. I love love love your writing style, your creativity, imagination and dammmm your plots gets us all hooked, on the edge of our seats. Tbh I'm one of the few who can enjoy art without placing reality to it. So I have no qualms in extending my vote to having your fics here regardless of who the leads are. I genuinely have enjoyed your stories since I found you and would still be anticipating your masterpieces. So so much appreciation for your existing work, would be devastated if I couldn't read it again (eventho I've read it like multiple times haha). But I guess what's most important is how you feel about this. Would support you regardless of the choice you made but please do accept my total appreciation and gratitude for all the amazing work you've shared with us. Really so blown away by each title, each word and each ending. Thank you so much!

Hi xiaojiajia jiejie, long time no comment. I've been away for how many months because i'm busy in my studies and I am shocked about what happened to Kris. I don't have any idea what happened, and I don't know to react to the news, I'm speechless. But I just want you to know that, you are one of my favorite author especially as a taoris author. I will support your decision jiejie. I hope your okay. We love you, we always do.

All of your work is beautiful and has always drawn my attention. If you were to write short stories without any fandom relations all characters made up from your own head and post them somewhere I would still be reading! At the end of the day I don’t read your stories for Kris or Tao I read them because you have eloquent writing style and come up with interesting plots. If you ever were to find another platform to write fiction of your own making I would support you 100%. Not wanting to continue writing Kris and Tao fanfics or wanting to continue writing them it doesn’t matter to me because I just want to read what YOU write. Thank you for sharing your journey and thoughts on the situation with all of us. I will remain your supporter and fan forever! I hope some day you could write books (if that’s what YOU want) have a wonderful time and know that if you ever feel alone or disheartened by all of this it isn’t your fault. Kris let a lot of us down with what he did but we can still move on without him and honestly I’m a huge fan of Tao so I am just happy he isn’t involved in any of what happened. Thank you for your genius writing I will continue to support you! Have a great day!

I really admire your work, I am uninformed and lost in everything that is happening but you have my full support in your decisions. Please, can you publish your future work on this platform, it is the only one that I keep active and I really like your stories.
If you decide to start with other characters I'll read it anyway.
Thank you for all your work and time.

Hello author, i hope you're coping well with whatever is happening. I am a silent reader as idk what to write most of the time even tho i loved the stories. And i also read your stories because of writing ( i started reading becux of taoris but your writing changed my mind). I would i also love it if you published your stories and let whoever wants to read read. I would love to read your other works because i just love how write your stories. But it depends totally on you. Hope you're staying strong and happy and healthy!!!

Hello! I have been a follower for years. I don't even know if you still remember me but I always commented to your works before and you never failed to reply to them too. Unfortunately, my time here got cut for how many years due to me having swamped up with school work, as well as Kris and Tao leaving from the group. I came back here to check how the taoris fics are, the ones im subscribed too, and how happy I was having found out that one of my favorite authors was still publishing the taoris fics that I loved. I recently just found out about Yifan's r*p* case and I felt so disappointed and sad, I haven't really followed him for the past years though so I honestly don't know what else to say other than express how disappointed I am of him, he was Duizhang after all.

However, I will still support you either way if you still want to continue writing taoris or not. Your writings have always been beautiful. It never changed. I will always come back here to read them, please don't delete them. I will always appreciate and love taoris, it will always have a significant place in my heart. As it always had for the past 8 years. I will love taoris forever. Maybe not as them in real life, but the fantasy that they have always been in, and the beauty of the stories they have been written in.

Thank you so much for all these treasures that you've shared here to us.

YOURCOLDCITYGIRL and Kwonmisaki spoke my heart completely. I understand your heartbreak and support how you feel. I don't want you to write out of your comfort zone. I have never found your personal pairings offensive in any way and I don't understand how others do. I would love to be a small group participant, if you go that way, but I know that others who are less vocal than I and others are would be very sad if they couldn't read your works. I will continue to support and read your treasures however you display them. Thank you for continuing to share you talent with us.

Hello, I’ve never commented much on your stories so you probably don’t know me but I’ve been a long time reader (probably like 4 years now? Maybe more honestly I hardly remember) and I thought I’d say I’m fine with whatever decision you make, I’d love to see your finished fics that are unreleased but it’s mainly because I really like your writing/stories not so much the pairing (I stopped keeping up with kpop/cpop a while ago) but also understand if you choose not to release them due to the situation (I could see how it could be uncomfortable). Anyways no matter what I’ll continue supporting your writing!

I’ve told you my opinion on twitter but i haven’t written it here yet so. I’m always gonna support you, any decision you make. I understand the difficult situation. I love you, and your stories. I would love to continue to read them and reread them over and over. I’m not gonna lie. Maybe I’m gonna imagine someone else but your stories are so special to me. Some have been a motivation and have helped me through difficult times and process lost of people who were very important in my life, so I feel like you’re special in my life too. You are an extraordinary artist and person. I’ll be here, supporting you, reading you and accepting you, always. Please take care of yourself and stay safe and healthy.

Hello Author! Hope everything is going good so far! As to what happened with the scandal, it was very big impact that happened and wanted to see how you were doing. I'm a very silent reader but have been following all your stories everytime without fail. Your writing has always been amazing regardless of who were the characters, I always kept coming back checking in for such cool ideas you come up with and reading your stories you create. It was a big part for me during my younger years, and with whatever decision you pick I will continue to support you, take it easy author!!
