About You DW username:melinoel616 Languages: English (native). Self-learning Japanese and Mandarin, but I've got a long way to go towards fluency Offline location: United States Other online locations:Melinoel (semi-active), 4mel616 (active), 4mel616 (not very active), astrid4#8314 on Discord (semi-active) I like: I'm much more choosey regarding the characters in the ship than whether it's gen, het, slash, poly, etc. I just like well written stories and romances, and I believe every category has its gems and its duds. It's a case-by-case basis.
Guardian-specific stuff Drama, novel or both? I love both! <3 <3 Fannish about canon, actors, related shows, RPF or some combination of these? Mostly just canon. Since they stole my heart so easily, I'm eager to check out BY's and Z1L's other works to support them in spirit. I personally don't indulge in RPF or shipping real people, but, as long as everyone is respectful, YKINMKATO. :) How long have you been in the fandom? I finished the novel and drama in September 2020, but I've been mostly lurking and just reading fanfics until I finally joined the Guardian Discord this year Where can we find your fanworks, if any: I'm still taking copious notes for a post-canon dramaverse fic that has Weilan reunite and Ye Zun undergo a long, comprehensive redemption arc, but if I make enough progress on it, I'll post on AO3.
Other points of interest regarding your Guardian fannishness: 1.) Ever since I finished reading the novel, I sometimes affectionately call Shen Wei a vampire due his penchant for blood, melodrama, and pining. And I 100% approve of any human-vampire Weilan fics. 2.) The wall of clocks showing cities in different timezones on Haixing is the #1 reason I considered writing Guardian fanfiction. Nearly everything about the last ten to twenty minutes of Episode 40 is #2. 3.) I fell in love with my coworker, who turned me down in an eerily similar self-deprecating way as Zhao Yunlan did to Zhu Hong. Our friendship didn't deteriorate, however, and we supported each other through thick and thin. Even now, I still love him, but I've accepted what happened enough to move on. Zhu Hong's arc was therapeutic for me making peace with that chapter of my life, and I'm grateful to Priest and the drama crew for how they handled her character. 4.) I love collecting merch, and I really want Guardian merch, but since it's been a while since summer 2018, I've no clue where to look. TT_TT 5.) I swear it's not hyperbole, but Weilan is definitely one of my favorite pairings of all time. I love them in the book and in the drama, flaws and all.

I have a really old Blogger account that I've laid to rest, and my Twitter is pretty dead too. But nowadays I'm semi-active on AO3, Tumblr, and Discord. What do you post about: video games, anime, manga, movies, books, music, and lots of other stuff I like Your other fandoms include: MegaTen, Persona 3, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Harry Potter, Silent Hill, Mo Dao Zu Shi, The Legend of Zelda to name some of too many Post frequency: sporadic, but most likely on Tumblr Access policy: public
