Scene Discussions and Other Things -- Round Seven sign-ups!

[china_shop]

Wooohooooo! Thanks so much to everyone who made such great posts for round six of the Scene Discussions! *showers you with sparkles and acclaim* Additional thanks to everyone who commented! We hope you all enjoyed the round as much as we did. :D :D :D

Here are the posts from round six:

Zhao Yunlan meets the young Envoy in Allied Forces HQ, ep 34 by china_shop
bb!Zhao Yunlan's mission statement (flashback), ep 39 by china_shop
Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan’s conversation with Minister Gao (mention of Zhao Xinci), ep 14 by ishipallthings
Chu Shuzhi vs Ye Huo Cage Fight, ep 18 by shadaras
Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan walk in the park at night, ep 4 by sakana17
Shen Wei getting captured for the second time, ep 37 by trobadora [upcoming]

Remember, it's never too late to jump into a discussion or link to relevant fanworks!

As discussed in the recent poll post, we're trying something a little different for round seven: scene discussions are still more than welcome (we love them!!), but we're opening up the format to other post types too -- other meta, squee, rarepair or friendship ship manifestos, recs, etc.

If you're not sure whether the thing you'd like to do fits the format, feel free to ask. (So long as it's about Guardian and is not a fanwork like fic or art, the answer is probably yes.)

Some info about hosting
There are no minimums! The only requirement is to post something about Guardian (novel or drama) on the Friday or Saturday, according to the schedule below.

Scene discussions are still very very welcome! (See the last sign-up post for more/optional details).

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 slot by saying what kind of post you're thinking of making, and a date. (If you're signing up for a scene discussion, check the Scene Discussion Index to make sure it hasn't already been covered, and please say which scene so we don't get double ups.) And remember to claim a date, too!

I'd like to do a scene discussion post for episode 15, 6:01-7:08, the first scene in Zhao Yunlan's apartment (mutual apology scene), for Dec. 11/12.

[china_shop]

Ooooooh, yay! I look forward to it very much! :D :D :D

[trobadora]

I'd like the 4th/5th December slot, a "scene discussion" (if we can call that a scene) for the episode 1 opening narration. (The "Haixing, an ancient planet ..." bit.)

I know, I haven't even posted for this round yet (tomorrow!), but I wanted to get in while I could - that's the only slot I can definitely do in this round.

[china_shop]

Oh, awesome, yay! That should be fun! :D :D :D (I've called it the prologue in the schedule -- okay with you?)

[trobadora]

Fine by me!

[shadaras]

Oh that's an awesome choice; I'm excited to see it! :D

[trobadora]

Yay! Really looking forward to talking about it. :D

[thevetia]

I like to take Nov 27-28 to discuss the flashbacks in ep 17 of Zhao Yunlan's childhood and his mother's death.

[china_shop]

Yay, sounds great! *pets bb!Yunlan*

[shadaras]

I can do next week (Nov 13/14), I'm pretty sure. And let's continue my streak of scene discussions focused on minor/secondary characters! Episode 20, Zhu Jiu wakes up in the SID. :D

[china_shop]

Oooh yay! I don't remember much about that, so I'm looking forward to the refresher!! :-D

[awanderingcoyote]

I would like Dec 18/19, but I don't have a scene picked yet. I will look over this weekend and respond back if that's okay? :D

[china_shop]

That sounds great, yay!! And you know, it doesn't have to be a scene discussion, if you'd rather do something else. :-D

[awanderingcoyote]

All good :D I want to do scene discussion and then tackle something else next time :D Also I still need to pick episodes. Sorry for the lateness with my selection I'm dithering between three different ones/scenes cause my brain is like: oo let's do this one, no this one!

[awanderingcoyote]

Ok! I'm going to discuss Episode 12 and the scene in SW's office between SW/ZYL about SW's colleague (not that ZYL is really talking about that LOL, but SW tries so hard), from 4:45 to 6:49. I didn't see it on the list :) Thanks!!

[china_shop]

Ooh, frustrated!ZYL, yayay! Great choice!! I'll look forward to it! :D

[china_shop]

I'm going to grab the last slot and do some kind of stats/data visualisation thing. :-)

[shadaras]

oooooh that sounds very cool! :D I'm excited to see what it ends up being! <3

[china_shop]

Me too! At this stage, my plans are extreeeeemely vague. *g*
