#Zhenhun

"When Zhenhun and its hashtags swept the Internet, many fans as well as the producers started to worry that the drama might have been too successful and drawn unnecessary attention from government censors. The fans therefore voluntarily abandoned one of the most trending hashtags used by the drama, hashtag #Shehuizhuyi xiongdiqing 社会主义兄弟情, socialist brotherly love, to avoid being mixed up with other BL dramas and becoming implicated, and also to try not to make fun of anything “socialist.” Despite the fans’ proactive moves to “cool down the heat”, eight days after the final episode was aired, the Zhenhun series was removed from Youku on August 2, 2018, for unknown reasons. If the government does not give clear reasons for its actions, its ban on the Zhenhun series is more likely intended to regulate and restrain the fan power than to police the text, because of “the dominant culture’s need to maintain the disciplinary distance between the text and reader”. The cultural capital produced by the fans is dangerous and subversive for a government that strives to instruct its people on living “morally and positively”, and that has been increasingly emphasising the didactic message of literature and art, unwilling to recognise their function as pure entertainment."

Guardian Summary:

Zhao Yunlan is Chief of the Special Investigations Department: a secret group of uniquely skilled individuals who investigate strange happenings in modern-day Dragon City. Although laid-back and cheeky to those who don't know him, this tenacious and cunning man fits well into his role of the Guardian. While investigating a mysterious death at a local university, Zhao Yunlan meets Shen Wei, a calm and cold professor who proves as intriguing as the case itself. Something about this reserved man feels strangely familiar. Zhao Yunlan can't help but notice the intensity of the professor's gaze, and wonders why their lives begin to intertwine―as if by fate.

On 9 August, Guardian Wishlist 2024 will open for business at guardian_wishlist on Dreamwidth. This gifting fest runs along the lines of fandomtrees and its ilk, but is specifically for Guardian (show, novel, and RPF) and related fandoms (main actors' other roles). It works like this:

People sign up with a wishlist of prompts and things they'd like to receive. Requests can include any media, including transformative works like fic, art, icons, vids, podfic, and also picspams and meta, translation advice, related music links, lollipops, dried fish snacks, powerful ancient artefacts, anything.

Once wishlists are live, anyone can write, draw, record, or otherwise create gifts for any sign-up. Gifts can be posted directly in comments (which are screened until reveals) or to an AO3 collection. Gift posting continues right up until reveals. There are no minimums for gifts.

It’s been really fantastic the last three years, and we're looking forward to another round to celebrate this year's Reunion Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival) - so start thinking about what kinds of things you want to ask for. (Don't hold back! Your wishlist could prompt someone to finally make the thing they've been meaning to make for ages - or something they hadn't realised they were dying to put together!)

The Mid-Autumn Festival is earlier this year, so our schedule starts sooner than it did in 2023. We'll be back closer to the sign-up date with updated rules and guidelines, but we wanted to let you know the schedule now:

9 August: sign-ups open

17 August: first wishlists posted

27 August: sign-ups close

28 August: final wishlists posted

17 September (Reunion Festival): gifts revealed

Feel free to swing by our post on sid_guardian and fill out the poll or comment to register your interest!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan Characters: Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei (Guardian) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Pre-Canon, Young Zhao Yunlan - Freeform, Motorcycles, Accidents, Injury, Bad Parent Zhao Xinci | Zhao Yunlan's Father Summary:

It's Zhao Yunlan's own fault that he ends up stranded on some small nowhere road, with a bike that won't start and an ankle he probably shouldn't walk on. Summoning the Black Cloaked Envoy to help is probably a really bad idea.
