Question: your favourite Dixing worldbuilding?

[china_shop]

What are some of your favourite pieces of worldbuilding about Dixing, from canon, or your own or someone else's fanworks?

Some of mine are:

1. Dixing has a glass factory. (I don't know if I or nnozomi came up with that; maybe we both did in parallel? Maybe someone else did first?)


2. The Dijun's throne being a relic of the spaceship. (I read that in a fic; anyone recognise it?)


3. The various wildlife possibilities, including keeping moles as pets.


4. “In the age of light there were feast days every week or two. Since the Hallows were lost, we only really observe the oldest holidays.” Lao Chu twirled the point of his knife against his fingertip; no blood resulted, so it couldn’t have been as sharp as it looked. [...] “Night of the Ancestors, the Bitter Melon Festival for the harvest – though most of the crops are blighted now – and Hei Pao Shi Day.” (From here.)

Oh, that's very cool! What a great collection of fics. &hearts

(I didn't know you can add bookmarks to a collection. Do you have to bookmark your own work if you want to add it like that?)

Yeah, you'd have to bookmark your own work, which is a little silly - but gives the benefit of being able to add bookmark tags, which I was using to group stuff by what kind of worldbuilding it touches on - it's in the fic tags for some of them for sure, but not always in the same way across fics.

Oh nifty! Thanks for explaining. :-)

ETA: I added a bunch last night, and I have 16 more open in tabs that might qualify. *blush* Please feel 100% free to reject any that aren't sufficiently worldbuildy!

Honestly, I'm not really fussy about what people add, it was mostly moderated so that people didn't add like. Stuff from entirely different fandoms or whatever.

(but this is also how I discovered that 1) ao3 doesn't notify you if there are pending moderated items and 2) the approval workflow is trash, so I've set it to unmoderated for now and if it becomes a problem I'll change it back

*hearts* Well, now I've swamped it with my stuff. /o\ Hopefully people will add more and fill it out even further. :D
