frith_in_thornsIt's a year since I started watching Guardian! I was given the files at VidUKon last year along with an extremely strong and targeted sales pitch from raven and soupytwist, started watching it on the train home, and fell headfirst into OBSESSION. Which I do not regret at all.
Since then I have written over 250k of fic, the vast majority of which is Weilan, stunning my almost-entirely-gen heart. And I have made SUCH good friends, both people I didn't know at all before and also getting to know people like naye and xparrot whom I'd seen around DW for years but never much interacted with. Also co-ran a fest and actually did Yuletide for the first time ever.
It's been a great Guardian year! Long may it continue :D

hc_bingo! This is my FAVOURITE yearly challenge and I was very excited to get my card.
I have quite a few squares which are going to be more of a challenge to write, which probably isn't a bad thing since I'm a bit lazy and default to the same kind of tropes over and over!
Leaving me prompts in the comments is extremely welcome, I love writing for people! Tell me which square you're excited about, for which character. And feel free to give more detailed prompts if you like! (I'm not always fast about filling prompts, but I really do keep coming back and checking, and I think I ended up writing most of the ones people left me last year eventually. Usual no-sex caveat.) I am most likely to continue writing Guardian but you are welcome to try persuading me to write for a fandom you know I've written for in the past as well :D

I'm dealing with my own take on that (along with, uh, several other from this card, actually) in my current longfic WIP, but I love hearing how others have him and ZYL deal with that. When they come back to life. Which they OBVIOUSLY do.
