Guardian novel thoughts: chapters 31-40

[yantantether]

They’re still on the mountain, and Zhao Yunlan is going to get some quality time hanging out with the Ghost Slayer in the cave. Over at my journal.

An eighth completely scientific Guardian poll

[china_shop]

I've posted another deeply serious poll -- all welcome to come and check it out!

Note: It's primarily drama-centric, but if you've written novel-verse or RPF fic in the fandom, I encourage you to at least fill out the last question (about blanket permission statements for podfic).

Question About Shen Wei's Powers

[tanndell]

Does anyone here have any thoughts on when Shen Wei's powers manifested?

Some meta about Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan, and secrets

[riventhorn]

 I've posted some meta on my journal here, concerning Shen Wei's decision not to tell Zhao Yunlan certain things and when/if it is appropriate to keep secrets. There are major spoilers for episodes 38 through 40. 

The Cat and His Boy

[mecurtin]

As many have observed, Zhao Yunlan has some habits that look like he was raised by a cat, notably:


The cats are on the table, again! We've got to train them not to do that.

But this creates some timeline issues.

The First Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange

[trobadora]

520 Day Reverse Exchange General Concept

As the name says, this is a reverse exchange, also known as a Choose Your Writer/Artist/Fanwork Creator exchange. Instead of making your request and that request being assigned to a writer/artist/fanwork creator, here:

1. You sign up with the kinds of things you enjoy creating.


2. You choose three writers/artists/fanwork creators based on anonymised ads.


3. You make a request of each of them based on what they enjoy creating and what you want to receive.


4. You are assigned one request to create for, based on your offers.


5. You receive a gift from one of the creators you chose.

You can offer and/or request fanfic (including RPF), fanart, icons, vids, podfic, meta, a remix of an existing fanwork, or fanart for an existing fanwork. Or any combination of the above! (Note that meta will need to be sufficiently transformative to meet AO3's rules, i.e. not a collection of canon facts.)

Hopefully this means you get an assignment that fits you like a glove, and just the gift fanwork you’re looking for -- maybe even from one of your favourite authors, artists or creators!

Participants who are under 18 must request and offer works rated General or Teen And Up only.

(Many thanks to reversathon for letting us adopt their format.)
