Another poll (Sleeve Garters and SID team edition)

I've posted another serious scientific poll. This one features questions about sleeve garters, the SID team, Dragon City healthcare infrastructure, and what other fannish platforms you use. All welcome! Spoilers up to episode 8. :-)

Poll: What would Shen Wei do? (+ Chinese endearments)

[mekare]

So, inspired by a comment by teaotter in extrapenguin china_shop's poll, I have started four different sketches of Shen Wei writing on Zhao Yunlan with his calligraphy brush. I still have to figure out a lot of perspective stuff and anatomy but I ran into a problem for one of the sketches showing Yunlan's back: what the devil would Shen Wei write? I know that Chinese endearments are a topic that I only have a hazy idea of (double part of the name, add xiao- or Ah-, that's as far as I got). I found this interesting post on livejournal which may be useful to some of you. Maybe some of you could refresh my memory of what Shen Wei calls Zhao Yunlan in canon? I only remember him using the full name.

Of course, what he'd write depends to some extent on which vision you have of him as a character (e.g. level of possessiveness).
So, here's where you all come in. What do you think?

Guardian Merch

[qikiqtarjuaq]

trobadora suggested I post this here for those who might be interested in some Guardian merch! The fanartist who drew the Weilan Kitties is selling dolls of her art, and they're adorable.





It's up for pre-orders right now on Tao Bao until April 2nd, and the artist anticipates them shipping out by July at the latest. (I don't think there'll be a non-pre-order period, so if you're at all interested, you should buy them before that point.)

EDIT: Taobao Account Registration Guide, Taobao Shopping Guide. This listing has 3 dolls you can buy (Shen Wei cat, Zhao Yunlan cat, and a tiny Da Qing head). See here.

PSA/tumblr feeds

[trobadora]

A few people here were following the feed on DW, so I thought I'd mention it: fuck-yeah-weilan over on tumblr changed their name to zhu-yilong-shrine, and their original name was promptly taken over by a pornbot. So the feed over here is useless, too.

But here's a new feed: zhu_yilong_shrine_feed

I also made a DW feed for the new baiyusource, which I just discovered: baiyusource_feed :)
