YAY POLL. :D :D

I went entirely for the coolness factor and not the plot-relevance factor this time, and voted for the fear baton and the star ring. :D

And I originally started watching in January 2023, when y'all were doing the rewatch, and I never would have started watching otherwise, and I'm eternally grateful. :D ♡♡♡

Also, my phone got entirely bricked last night by something that really, really shouldn't brick it (when I google what happened, it says it's because I tried to root it or break into the source or whatever, and I literally just tried to change a keyboard setting in the totally official "click the settings icon" way *facepalms and grumbles*), so the first thing I thought when I saw a Lin Jing post was "Lin Jing would totally fix my damn phone". xD

Haha, I did the opposite and voted with a cold heart for the most useful thing :D
But the baton is the most fun invention!

Oh no! I hope you can fix it :(

"Haha, I did the opposite and voted with a cold heart for the most useful thing :D"

I love that Lin Jing can make both vitally helpful stuff AND flashy nonsense. :D

"Oh no! I hope you can fix it :("

Aw, thank you! ♡ It's at the repair shop right now, we'll see. :) *shrugs and grumbles at it a bit more*

[trobadora]

Oof, so sorry about your phone, that's so awful! I hope you can get your stuff off it somehow. *hugs* Lin Jing would totally fix it for you if he was here.

I'd love to have a star ring of my own, so long as I could set the password myself. *g*

So glad the rewatch got you into Guardian! ♥ ♥ ♥

[facethestrange]

AW, thank you! ♡ Most of my stuff should be fine because it's on an SD card. :) (I lost about 1K of fic that was in the notes app and not backed up tho, but I already rewrote it this morning as close as I could. Which led me to the discovery that I have 10 Zhubai WIPs of 500 words or more, not counting any 'one sentence idea' things. TEN. I just need to share this knowledge somewhere because wth. xD) The phone is at the repair shop now for probably another 4 hours. *fingers crossed* The stuff not on the SD card can't be retrieved (I wiped the phone clean in an effort to unbrick it, which obviously didn't work), but otherwise it's fine whether I can get it back or have to get a new one - I mostly just miss making dw comments without having to sit down at my computer, and also music and the Guardian novel, lol.

"Lin Jing would totally fix it for you if he was here."
Lol aw, I LOVE THIS, he's totally real, he's not just here. :D :D

*kicks him a little bit about the password thing*

"So glad the rewatch got you into Guardian! ♥ ♥ ♥"

My eternal gratitude for inadvertently giving me my most favorite fandom of the last two decades. :D :D ♡♡♡

[trobadora]

Oh, that's good about the SD card! But ack about the fic, it's so frustrating when you have to rewrite it.

Yay for your Zhubai WIPs! That sounds awesome. :D

(I have lost track of how many Guardian WIPs I have, plus all my other fandoms, it's SO MANY OMG, and I will probably never finish them all, but I want to, you know?)

my most favorite fandom of the last two decades. :D :D

:D :D :D

[facethestrange]

Sooo my phone didn't survive the ordeal and it's very very dead, but I have a new one already and most things are still on it, so it's all good in the end. :D

"Yay for your Zhubai WIPs! That sounds awesome. :D"

AW, thank you! :D ♡ For now I am convinced that they're all getting finished, lol, but my process seems to be 'oh, I can finish this fic? or I can start another fic instead!' *starts three other fics instead* xD xD

Funnily enough, I don't have any Guardian WIPs, it's all posted at this point. :D (Well, I kinda have a mental WIP but it's far more 'me reworking someone else's fic that I imprinted on' than it is 'my fic', so it never gets written down. xD) And definitely zero for any other fandoms - last time I just wrote fics was Lost in 2006. :D (I wrote maybe up to 15?? ficlets/drabbles in the entire time in between, and they were all for challenges.)

So, as you can see, I 100% meant the two decades, it's not an exaggeration. :D (Last time I did many, MANY other fannish things that I do now was also either Lost in 2006 or literally never. :D)

[trobadora]

I'm glad it's all good!

That's so cool, I love hearing about other people's fannish history! And it's amazing that Guardian is getting you write fic, and all that other fannish fun! ♥

I've always been multifannish, but most of the time I have a main fandom that occupies most of my brain, and that's been Guardian since 2018. *g* Before that, the last time I was this involved in a fandom's community year-round was SGA, back on LJ.

Yes!! *deducts more bonuses*

[facethestrange]

Zhao Yunlan would be proud. xD xD :D Tbh this is one of the times when Lin Jing would 100% deserve having his bonuses deducted. *pokes him with a stick*

[china_shop]

:D :D :D :D :D

Ha, a highly valid metric. The fear baton is delightful AND improbable AND cool!

And I originally started watching in January 2023, when y'all were doing the rewatch, and I never would have started watching otherwise, and I'm eternally grateful. :D ♡♡♡

It's win-win! So very glad to have you here!! <3 <3 <3

But oh no, so sorry about your phone!! That sucks so much!! :-(((( Yes, where the hell is Lin Jing when you need him? *deducts his bonuses (and gives them to you in compensation)*

[facethestrange]

♡♡♡♡♡! AW! I'm so happy to be here! :D :D

"Yes, where the hell is Lin Jing when you need him? *deducts his bonuses (and gives them to you in compensation)*"

Bwahahah, that would pay for the new phone I had to get, yes. xD xD xD He's probably off saving the world tho. :D
