Dear Creator Letter (Sundial_Exchange)
Dear creator,
Whether you got me as your assignment, or are simply browsing Dear Creator letters, hi, and thank you for participating in![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sundial_exchange!
Things I adore about it are the low requirements (500 words and equivalent) and how it is multimedia. :D
General Themes I like, in no particular order:
Medium:
I absolutely want people to have fun and whatever they are inspired to do, GO FOR IT. :D This list is meant as inspiration and cheerleading, and is no way complete:
Things I like less are jealousy, gore, any abuse on children and pre-teens, characters contemplating their imminent death (including terminal illnesses or suicide), and permanent character death.
Media DNW: long text without audio available
Any rating from full gen up to explicit are great. I prefer short or small works over big ones, and I'm a massive multishipper.

REQUESTS
Fandom: Guardian (drama) Romance, Smut, Gen, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Character study
Characters: Secondary-in-fanworks characters: all the women (Zhu Hong, Sha Ya, Hua Yuzhu, Li Qian, Cheng Xinyan, Ya Qing, Ying Chun, Wang Yike, Jiajia, Fu You...); Zhao Xinci; Chu Shuzhi's magnificient chest; locations (the SID headquarters, Dixing palace, Zhao Yunlan's fridge); objects (the Hallows, Zhao Yunlan's weapons, Zhu Hong's accessories, Ye Zun's fashion, etc)
Medium: Any medium. Meta, screencaps gallery, fake social media interactions, rec list, resources, paper craft, dice game, cross-titch, pronunciation guide, resource pack, analysis of what type of wings they might have in a wings!AU... Have fun, go as broad or narrow as you want.
I adore people trying new things and going experimental. I love bright colours, less textures, and embracing tropes of your medium's genres. I love pop and rock music most but will enjoy most anything.
Content: Anything featuring these characters or objects would be great. If you'd like specific prompts, I would love to have something about the ladies themselves or interacting with each other - as friends, enemies, acquaintances, passing ships, or lovers. I'd adore a picture gallery of the locations or about a specific character.
Here's moodboards for alternate inspiration:
//
Fandom: Guardian (drama) Romance, Smut, Hurt/Comfort, Character study
Characters: Shen Wei, Chu Shuzhi, Zhao Yunlan, Ye Zun
Medium: Any medium. Short character study, visual meta, not!fic, reclist, short fics, list of tropes and prompts that would match them, graphics, a graded scale of the level of pining and fealty ties involved... Have fun, go as broad or narrow as you want.
Content: I would love to have something reflecting some of the complicated devotion, respect and trust (or lack thereof) between any combination of any of the listed characters. Any relationship goes, including platonic, aromantic, asexual, romantic, sexual, polyromantic, incestuous, or boss-employee. I love hurt/comfort, enemies-to-brothers, everybody looking happy, PWP, Shen Wei's trolling, Chu Shuzhi's unimpressed eyebrow rise, Zhao Yunlan's quick wit, Ye Zun's dramatics, declarations of fealty, competency, domesticity and accidental X acquisition (where X = bodyguard, baby dragons, magical headquarters, teammates, step-brothers, etc).
Here's a moodboard for alternate inspiration:
//
Guardian (drama or novel) hurt/comfort, smut
Characters: Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei
Medium: Any!!
Content: I adore any and all brands of hurt/comfort, as long as it has a happy ending. Special love for things to do with cold temperatures or non-serious illnesses.
Kink-wise, I like the barely contained feralness of novelverse Shen Wei.
Here's a moodboard for alternate inspiration:
//
Honorable mention (no more request space): Guardian RPF or photoshoot-inspired. Romance, Smut, Gen, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort.
Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu: They are both adorable and very alluring. The photoshoots are amazing in every way. I adore Zhu Yilong's little ponytail, and how Bai Yu's can pull off any clothing.
// WISHFUL
If we're going to wishful thinking, know I love derivative works of my own fanworks. I also have bookmarks for fanworks I've enjoyed (sometimes with notes about whether the creator has blanket permission). Podfic, similar fanwork, remix, cover art, fanart - if the initial fanwork creator is OK with it, I'd love to see it.
Podfic-specific, there's also many, many longer fics that seem my jam but that I can't read (The Cloudfarers, The Crimson Lotus, Le Beau Au Bois Dormant) so they're not there but know I am :eye emoji: very hard on having a podfic available of them. Those are way out of this fest's scope but at this point I'm happy to just plant seeds.

sundial_exchange! Things I adore about it are the low requirements (500 words and equivalent) and how it is multimedia. :D
General Themes I like, in no particular order:
- hurt/comfort, as long as it has/hints at a happy ending. Special love for things to do with cold temperatures or sleep;
- cats, wings, dragons, pets - or characters with animal traits;
- portrayals and negotiations of various types of relationships (family, friendship, pet-owner, romantic/aromantic, sexual/asexual, etc.);
- tropes and trope deconstruction alike;
- fairy tales, folklore, storytelling;
- Femslash, including alternate-to-canon gender and/or sex (extra yes to trans narratives)
- Found family, kidfic, Accidental X Acquisition (where X = baby, pets, dragon, brother-in-law, kingdom, sassy aunt, thesis supervisor, kink, spouse, magical house, etc.)
- happyness and playfulness, fix-it and ending-what-ending;
- sexual kinks (highlight to read): sex positiveness, toys, bondage, anal play, somnophilia, happy consensual, power exchange, non-monogamous relationships, twincest, tentacles, oviposition, A/B/O, pegging, possessiveness (but not jealousy)
Medium:
I absolutely want people to have fun and whatever they are inspired to do, GO FOR IT. :D This list is meant as inspiration and cheerleading, and is no way complete:
- Audio: Podfics (♥!!), music, fanmix, filk (lyrics only or full performance), soundscape;
- Unusual writing: travel brochure ("Come to Dixing, where the floor is always lava!"), rec, interractive stories, lists descriptions, captions, poetry, texts, fake social media screencaps, meta;
- Animated visuals: fanvid, animations, gifs, step motion;
- Craft: papercraft, yarn work, cosplay, jewellery, lego creations, clay, cross-stitch, dolls, stationary;
- Static visuals: fanart (any medium), patterns, stamps, coloring pages, crack-meta such as everyone-in-Guardian-as-cats, analysis of body language or clothing, etc.
- Reference packs: my computer crashed recently and I lost my Guardian reference folders for characters and SID headquarters. Would love to have new folders or recs for existing references.
Things I like less are jealousy, gore, any abuse on children and pre-teens, characters contemplating their imminent death (including terminal illnesses or suicide), and permanent character death.
