Fandom 5K 2017

Thu, 16 Feb 2017 10:37:52 GMT

Dear writer:

Thank you so much for writing me a fic! I'm super excited about this exchange, and I can't wait to read whatever you end up writing. I've included some prompts for each of my fandoms, but obviously these are optional if there's something else you'd prefer to write. Feel free to treat my general likes as prompts also, since these are things I enjoy in every fandom. (Also, I know that some of my fandom sections are shorter or longer than others, but please don't read anything into it - I desperately want fic for every fandom I requested!)

You can find me on AO3 as Zhailei.

General likes:

Ensemble fics, banter, makeouts, unresolved (and resolved) sexual tension, romantic comedy, action/adventure, casefic, wacky hijinks, humour, crack, smut, apocalypses (zombie or otherwise), and ridiculous AUs

Tropes and clichés - fake dating, forced proximity, trapped together, sharing a bed, undercover missions, identity porn, accidental marriage, bachelor auctions, truth or dare, sex pollen, accidental stimulation, wall!sex, frottage, etc.

First times, secret relationships, casual hookups, ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, and rekindling old relationships

People being in love without having to say it, people who are obviously in love but maybe don't realise it, ridiculously overblown romantic gestures where one person (willingly) completely embarrasses themselves, and small gestures that mean a whole lot more than they seem to

In general, I prefer fic on the happier end of the spectrum - happy (or at least hopeful) endings are my jam

DNW: Character studies/introspection/alternate POV on canon events, angst/darkfic/unhappy endings, unrequested pairings, first person POV, issue fic

Equinox Vids 2017

Sat, 11 Feb 2017 00:47:10 GMT

I am so excited about this exchange, I can't even begin to tell you. I love vids! And I love these fandoms, and I am already 100% guaranteed to love a vid in any of these fandoms.

General vid things I love: Ensemble vids. Character studies. Fun shippy vids. Vids that highlight some of my favourite things about the source. Vids that point out something I never noticed in the source. Vids that give me chills. Vids that make me cry. Vids that make me laugh. Vids that make me clap my hands in glee. Vids that use music I love, and music that's completely new to me, and music that obviously goes with that source, and that I never would have through to pair with the source but works surprisingly well. Basically, I just really love vids.

(Things I don't love: Gimmicky music/audio source, talking in vids, a lot of effects. Generally, I prefer fast-paced vids to ones that are slow and lingering.)

These are some ideas/extra information/things that would make me especially happy, but if my optional details don't work for you, or if you already have an idea in mind, I'd much rather get a great story you're really excited about than something mediocre tailored exactly to my requests.

Trick or Treat 2016

Sun, 11 Sep 2016 04:41:53 GMT

Dear writer:

Thank you so much for writing me a fic! As far as tricks vs treats go, my likes/prompts lean more towards the light and fluffy end, but I'd be happy to receive something horror or Halloween-themed as long as it's not super dark (depending on the fandom - in general, I most enjoy fics that feel similar to canon in tone, if not in content). Also, while some of my prompts are Halloween-specific, please don't feel you have to give a 'themed' fic - I would be 100% thrilled to read anything about any of these fandoms.

Dear shipswap writer:

Thank you so much for making me something! I'm sure I'll love whatever you end up creating, but in general: I love ensemble fics, banter, makeouts, unresolved (and resolved) sexual tension, romantic comedy, action/adventure, wacky hijinks, humour, crack, PWPs, apocafic, and ridiculous AUs. I'm not super into angst, and I prefer fics where characters interact with people and do things over introspective character studies. I really, really, love tropes and clichés, and totally ridiculous, over the top plots, the more shameless the better. I love first times, and secret relationships, and casual hookups, and partners, and ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, and rekindling old relationships. I love people being in love without having to say it, and people who are obviously in love but maybe don't realise it, and ridiculously overblown romantic gestures where one person completely embarrasses themselves, and small gestures that mean a whole lot more than they seem to. Most of all, I love characters who are genuinely really into each other. I'm happy to read any rating; smut is welcome but absolutely not necessary, though for this particular exchange I do want fic where the characters actually hook up/are together in some way. (In other words: makeouts, please!)

Return of the Slacking

Sat, 28 Jun 2014 11:45:17 GMT

So, I'm alive? I mean, I just made it through my first semester full-time teaching and reports and NAPLAN and parent-teacher interviews, so I'm only mostly sure, but I appear to be all in one piece. But I'm on holidays now! For like two whole weeks! And I'm well aware that I haven't posted here (or anywhere) since ... February? And I honestly haven't been around much either, because this last term especially has been SUPER CRAZY and I haven't managed to do much except work and keep up some vague semblance of a social life, but hopefully things will quiet down a little now and I'll be able to change that. (Signing up for rarepairfest was possibly a little optimistic, given I've written almost nothing all year, but I miss actually participating in fandom, dammit, and I've got two weeks to get a head start at least.)

ANYWAY. An update with actual content will likely come soon, because WORK OMG, but in the meantime, hi! I missed you all! <3

ETA: ALSO I WATCHED THE FLASH PILOT COME TALK TO ME ABOUT IT IF YOU LOVED IT BECAUSE I LOVED IT <3 <3

Signal to noise

Sun, 09 Feb 2014 03:48:28 GMT

I HAVE INTERNET AGAIN!!!!!!! Long story short, our phone line went down and we've been internet-less for like a week and a half, and since I can't check livejournal/twitter/tumblr/etc. at work I've basically been DYING. And apparently this week was the week when I REALLY, REALLY NEEDED internet, between needing to register for work seminars and ficathon signups and porn battle and trying to set up a new phone that, spoiler, WON'T EVEN TURN ON WITHOUT INTERNET ACCESS, so. Also it was like a million degrees without air conditioning, which we of course do not have, and I just finished the second week of my new job and it's been SUPER HECTIC and so the past fortnight has just gone by in this massive blur and HOW ARE YOU WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING I MISSED YOU GUYS.

I'm trying to catch up on everything I've missed at the moment, except I also have a hundred things to plan for next week and it's already Sunday afternoon and ugh. HOW DO I THINGS. I only got halfway through watching Festivids and I STILL HAVE UNREAD YULETIDE FICS OPEN IN TABS and now I have a million things to catch up on and I still need to fill in my placeholder letter from over a week ago that I hastily posted with my phone and I'M SORRY IF YOU'RE MY ASSIGNED AUTHOR, IT'S SUPER HIGH ON MY LIST OF THINGS TO DO SO WATCH THIS SPACE. (Or that space. You know. Whatever.)
