“The clan is my blood, and the Pillar is its master." Green Bones pledge their clan loyalty with their jade, while Lantern Men show affiliation with paper and wood. We can't afford jade (yet), but we gotcha covered for the paper and wood! @fondalee.bsky.social

The saying might be ‘gold and jade, never together,’ but we think ‘writer and artist, always better!’ And what better collaboration than one between Fonda Lee and Jung Shan Chang? I'm a Fan! First season launching December 2026 at Dragonsteel Nexus and online in 2027. @fondalee.bsky.social

Yes, you have stumbled across one of the rare 2022 copies where a weird printing mishap bound a section of an entirely different book into a run of Jade War. It was super weird! I tweeted about it at the time: x.com/FondaJLee/st...

Listened to half of Last Contract of Isako on the long car drive home. It’s brilliant, seriously amazing sci-fi. Great characters. Great world building. Go read this one! @fondalee.bsky.social has a home run here. Also loved hearing @maryrobinettekowal.com as a narrator. It’s just so good!

Really enjoying @fondalee.bsky.social 's The Last Contract of Isako. A ronin movie murder mystery political thriller with worldbuilding reminiscent of C.J. Cherryh's Cyteen.
