I know this wasn't actually tailor-made to my interests, obviously, but it certainly feels like it is. Prompt open season, yay!

Anyway! I'll tidy this up later (read: when not on my phone mid-commute to work) but 3 Sentence Ficathon is ongoing and I figure I should archive my fills somewhere before I lose them like my marbles.

ETA: Collected all eight(!) fills so far with links below the cut, enjoy!

ETA 2: More new fills linked in the comments! Second set of fills now compiled here! All Guardian except one… surprise crossover, let's just say.

Challenge #8

In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, a gift of your time to the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Learning how to gif! With extra proud-ness given that I (a) started from basically 0 knowledge of Photoshop save whatever remnants I remember from using GIMP like a decade ago, (b) generally don't consider myself as being any good with colours, and (c) managed to pull off pretty much every moderate-to-very unhinged gif idea I had, including some animations done from scratch.

Probably a whole 90% possibly more of everything I made was Zhou Shen because I'm single-minded like that (full gallery here!), with the rest scattered across various fandoms, starting with a particular SecUnit-favoured show…

WOH/SHL and more gifs under the cut! )

All can be found in my gif tag on Tumblr, including some before/after comparisons and effect breakdowns if you're interested in the process.

(Non-fannishly, it'd be cooking! Which was a development I would never have seen coming.)

Challenge #7
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.

Challenge #3

In your own space, put some favorite characters into an AU, fuse some favorite canons together, talk about your favorite AU/fusion tropes, or tell us why AU/fusions aren’t your cup of tea. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Really, you might as well ask if the sun likes to rise. Admittedly much-earlier me used to do only the occasional canon-divergence back when I cared more about complying to canon, but these days literally anything goes. Pretty much the only kinds of AU concepts that I'm "eh" about are cases where the setting is overly specific in a way I don't care for (solid pass on college or high school AU, doubly so if it's extremely Americanised) or that I simply don't see the point of (as someone who's been known to question what difference an otherwise-canon-ish soulmate AU makes). For crossovers, I tend to prefer some kind of fusion between the universes rather than straight up mashing all the characters together. Unless it's a crack scenario, in which case collide away.

Anyway. Highlights of variously-implausible AU things I have committed in full seriousness:…and that's nowhere near an exhaustive list, just the more recent ones. I write a lot of AU, to put it mildly.

And a final obligatory mention to my longstanding vendetta against coffeeshop AU. Anyone's guess how much in jest that is by this point.
