Remember, it's never too late to add your two cents to a discussion or to link to relevant fanworks! Jump in any time! All welcome!

Round six will kick off on 1/2 October.

Some info about hosting

Definition of a scene: for our purposes, a scene a) usually takes place in a single location, and b) may continue after cutting away to another scene and cutting back again. Keep in mind that a close look at a brief interaction or moment can be just as satisfying as a wider analysis of a longer piece. Feel free to keep it as small and contained or make it as ambitious as you like. And you don't have to completely understand a scene or offer a consistent interpretation to make a post about it -- asking questions can be as interesting as answering them!

The novel and the drama are quite different, so you can just choose a scene from one or the other -- or if you prefer, you can compare parallel scenes from each canon! The discussion will be open to both where applicable. People new to the fandom are very welcome! (Don't be shy!) But be aware that discussions may contain spoilers for the whole drama and for the entire novel.

There are no minimums! The only requirements for posts are

say where to find the scene, ie, episode number + start/end timestamps, or chapter number + beginning/ending
say something about the scene
post sometime on the Friday or Saturday, according to the schedule below.

There's also no obligation to reply to comments -- if you want to dig in to the discussion on your post, that's great! If answering comments isn't your thing, that's okay, too! We're happy to jump in and handle that part.

If you want to include screencaps and can't make or find your own, we can help with that. Just let us know.

So, who's in?

Comment here to claim a scene by giving us an episode/chapter number and a brief description! For example, "ep 24, the bomb defusing scene", or "ep 30, Zhao Yunlan fires Lin Jing". (Check the Scene Discussion Index to make sure your chosen scene hasn't already been covered.) And remember to claim a date, too!
