💔📚👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

I wrote a random drabble today for

fan_flashworks and when I popped over to Ao3 to see what the book fandom is called there, I was SHOCKED (read this with full hyperbole) to discover that there are way more Anne/Gilbert fanworks than Anne/Diana. Gilbert! That whatever-you-call-a-love-interest-insert! That wet blanket! Puddleglum has him beat!

Gilbert may or may not have hidden depths and great character or whatever but the books (which I probably read over three times all through) did not really demonstrate that at all. I remember reading a great essay on Anne as well as the Emily of New Moon trilogy about how the interesting (male) love interests inevitably get shelved, and the MC ends up with the cardboard cutout. Wish I knew where that was; I’d like to read it again.

Anyway, I refuse to read the books anymore because they killed off my best beloved Walter, so maybe there are secret hidden depths that older-me could decipher. Whatever.

Three Baihe Print Novels Available for Pre-Order

Pre-orders have opened for: the second (and presumably final) volume of I Wish I Knew How to Quit You* (总有老师要请家长, pinyin: zong you laoshi yao qing jiazhang) by Jing Wu (璟梧), a contemporary romance between a teacher and the mother of one of her students, which develops following a one-night stand; the contemporary romance As She Wished (如她所愿, pinyin: ru ta suo yuan) by Qin Si (秦寺); and the contemporary romance If I Could Mail You a Book (如果给你寄一本书, pinyin: ruguo gei ni ji yi ben shu) by Yi Zhan Ye Deng (一盏夜灯). All three are mainland editions, so will be in simplified Chinese and censored.

Pre-orders for the second volume of I Wish I Knew How to Quit You can be made via the following bookshops:

Pre-orders for As She Wished can be made via the following bookshops:

Pre-orders for If I Could Mail You a Book can be made via the following bookshops:

*A note on the title translation: I Wish I Knew How to Quit You is the 'official' English title given in the uncensored print edition of the novel by Hong Kong publisher Wutong. My own preferred title translation is Last Night at the PTA Conference. The manhua fan translation has elected to go with the painfully literal There Are Always Teachers Who Want to Ask out Parents.
