Happy Guardianversary To Me!

[frith_in_thorns]

It'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

Relatedly, it is currently sign-up time for hc_bingo! This is my FAVOURITE yearly challenge and I was very excited to get my card.

skeletons in the closet	abandonment issues	depression	taking care of somebody	broken bones
lacerations / knife wounds	hypothermia	buried alive	suicide attempt	atonement
hospital stay	electrocution	WILD CARD	hypoglycemia / low blood sugar	interrogation
post-traumatic stress disorder	shipwrecked	loss of home / shelter	archaic medical treatment	resurrection
bites	caught in a robbery	backrubs / massages	estrangement	bodyguards

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 could use "shipwrecked" for a sky-ship sequel?

--I just realized I hadn't responded to this comment, but: OOOOH (you could squeeze in a couple more of these into that story, too...broken bones, archaic medical treatment -- and depending on what happened it could be loss of home/shelter too...)

I only get credit for one square per story, though! Oneshots are the way to go for card efficiency :P (...not that I'm trying to get a blackout again. I'm NOT.)

(Linked oneshots in a series totally count as a square each, though -- I got a lot of mileage out of the Jiajia ones last year!)
