(The related story, "A New Writer in Beika Town," is now underway! Feel free to check it out if you're interested (looking forward to it). The blurb is at the very bottom.)

Blurb

[Synopsis 1]

Qingshui Qingyi calls herself a "fantasy writer" and describes herself as having "third-rate prose and outlandish imagination."

So when she writes fantasy about gods and monsters, she is "Teacher Jiugui," beloved by readers for her gorgeous prose.

But when she draws inspiration from reality and starts over under a new "persona," she is "Sanshui You," whose work has received mixed reviews from the public.

[Forum Excerpts]

-In Yokohama, you can say you've never seen the mafia, but you can't say you haven't read "Sanshui You."

-In this world, mediocre people criticize her absurdity, guilty people condemn her indifference, but everyone, without exception, is astonished by her rationality.

-Newspapers and media call her "the only clear-headed person in a chaotic world" and "a martyr who takes aim at the evil in human nature."

[Little Theater]

Yokohama's famous diving champion, Dazai-something: An interview question. How do you feel about the way people view you, Qingyi?

Qingshui Qingyi: That's what they say, but a "martyr"? I'm not dead yet!

[Synopsis 2]

A rumor suddenly appeared in peaceful, stable (?) Yokohama about something said to be an ability-granting object born alongside another.

The rumor says it can make anything written with it come true, and that it has a close connection to the ordinary Qingshui Qingyi.

Everyone wants to find it and claim it, so

Qingshui Qingyi has landed in the slammer for the third time (not really).

Planned stories:

"Flower of Desire"

"Plea of Innocence"

Content warnings:

1. There will be stories within the story, but probably not many.

2. Primarily Bungo Stray Dogs, with a little of something else mixed in (the kind that gets just a passing mention, with a little more Jujutsu Kaisen, mainly using related settings).

3. No romantic pairing.

4. The female lead has no supernatural ability.

5. There may be a little OOC.

Coming Soon

"A New Writer in Beika Town"

Synopsis:

Qingshui Qingyi gradually realized that Beika Town was every bit as extraordinary as Yokohama. It was a place of great people and great spirit, where even seven-year-old children had lived remarkably eventful lives.

She found countless sources of inspiration here, so she once again gave up her somewhat successful pen name, "Sanshui You," and adopted the name "Chris," becoming one of the many mystery novelists who were a dime a dozen in town.

"So, Miss Qingshui, have you written anything?" one of her sources of inspiration asked curiously. He was an elementary school student who shared a surname with her friend.

Qingshui Qingyi nodded. "I've managed to write a few stories I'm fairly happy with, "

1. "A Terrifying Night at the Library": A detective with emerald-green catlike eyes raised his cape and stood on a bookshelf, looking down at everyone. "Are you ready for an adventure, kids?"

2. "The Masked Lady on the Train": She was like a wisp of gray smoke, casually changing shape as she wandered among the passengers, her disguise unnoticed by everyone.

3. "The Wild Swan": Have you ever seen her dance? She danced with such intensity, like a wild swan burning through her life force in a desperate bid to fly.

4. ...

Theme: Always do what you love.
