oh i know the answer to this one!

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

• The Murderbot Discord server! Lots of excellent people and discussions, not to mention robot emotes hahaha romotes – what's there not to love? (And not in a weird way, of course.)
• The Zhou Shen fanclub Twitter aka one-stop shop for keeping up with the (many, many) updates of new songs and other stuff, or alternatively the infohub Weibo for even more comprehensive updates. (I would also like to say "the Zhou Shen tag on Tumblr" because we do have a cozy little appreciation club ongoing there, but also I make up like half of the recent posts at any given time lol sorry guys!!)
• Haven't actually used this one yet, but this Weilan by runtime guide for each Guardian episode, which I foresee coming in handy in rewatches or just to find a specific scene.

drabble time!

Decided to put those subscriptions to fic prompt comms to use by doing a Guardian drabble for 100words, linked below!

A lot of what I write is in the several-hundred-words range by default, but it's been a long while since I really restricted myself to exactly 100 words so this was a nice challenge. I'm definitely out of practice at sticking to a particular word count – this idea kept wanting to expand into the 200-word range even while I was beating it down with a mallet. Behave, you gremlin.

(Admittedly I also had a more recent run of writing one-tweet-length (i.e. 280 character) fics during my stint in The Promised Neverland fandom, but I'd argue writing that sort of micro-fic is its own kind of beast entirely.

And come to think of it, the last time I did drabbles regularly was on 100wordstories when I was exploring around LJ, so it's nice to come full circle I guess? Definitely an instructive experience, judging by how I do semi-often get comments about how much story and/or worldbuilding I've managed to cram into the little amount of fic real estate I use.)

Unrelatedly: my hand slipped and I recced a whole bunch of Zhou Shen performances here because I adore him *holds out arms wide* so much. Check them out? They're all great, promise. Honestly I could rec, like, three performances each weekend shenshen saturday? for the rest of the year and still not run out. (Certainly I haven't run out of gifs to make yet, and I already made so many in 2021.)
