For me, Guardian started out on a whim. Several people mentioned it on my DW friendslist, but I had no real intention of watching it. Still, when I was visiting a friend, I suggested we check it out. And now, I am hooked, she is hooked, several others have also been infected at this point... it's spreading like the flu. ;-)
Thanks to Guardian, I've started writing fanfic again - and it's been years! I really can't tell you how wonderful it is to be writing slash again, even though I do still feel rusty.
I honestly love both Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei. Still, Yunlan does have a slight edge in my heart (even though I find Shen Wei more physically attractive).
Yunlan's just so sharp and insightful and competent. He can hold his own as a human facing inhumanly powerful people - and he's also so open-minded and kind and passionate about protecting *everyone*, not just humans. I also love his flippant, irreverent, cheeky ways, and the streak of recklessness and lack of care for himself, and how none of it can conceal how much he truly *cares*.
And I admire that he became this remarkable person all by himself, without the help of a guiding hand when he was young. He became the amazing person he is despite, not because of his environment.
My Dixingian power would probably be keeping tea warm indefinitely. Or subjectively stopping time while reading a good story.
(Hi, everyone! I am a fannish slash dinosaur who started out in fandom back in 1998, when I found Mulder/Krycek X-Files slash. Since then, I have been in a myriad of fandoms from Eroica, Saiyuki, Utena and Tokyo Babylon / X1999 to X-Men, Smalville and Supernatural. I've most recently been devouring Bucky/Steve stories. And I watch kdrama - mostly romcoms!)
