Announcing Guardian Red Pocket Prompt Fest 2023! 🧧🧧🧧

Hello Guardian fandom, we’re thrilled to announce the Red Pocket Prompts Fest in celebration of Lunar New Year 2023!

Like red pockets (also called red envelopes or red packets) given out during the new year, weddings, and other special occasions, this fest is a way for us share the wealth in the currency of fandom — fanworks and community!

The event runs from the first day of the Gregorian calendar, through Lunar New Year to the end of the first lunar month (ie. Jan 1, 2023 to Feb 19, 2023).

While the Prompt Fest is centred on the Guardian novel by Priest and the drama adaptation, fanworks in all fandoms generally considered "Guardian-related" are welcome, including RPF, Weilan derivative fandoms (ie. based on other works by Bai Yu or Zhu Yilong) as well as any AUs and crossovers!

Visit the AO3 Collection or click Read More below to find out how to participate!

How do I participate?

You can participate by either submitting or claiming a prompt, or both. You may submit and/or claim as many prompts as you like (though we do ask that you only claim a maximum of three secret prompts) — after all, it's all about sharing the wealth!

Please do note that this event operates like a kinkmeme (or throwing virtual red pockets into a group on WeChat, if you're familiar with how that works). There's no guarantee or expectation that every prompt will be claimed by the end of the event.

What types of fanworks can I submit?

Any! Fic, art, crafts, video, podfic, moodboards…the sky’s the limit! The only requirement is that the work must be posted on AO3. If you are cross-posting or creating a promo post for your work on social media, please use the tag #GuardianRedPockets2023.

Are there any restrictions on pairing, content, rating, or length/quality of work?

There are no restrictions on any of these parameters, as long as the fanwork responds appropriately to the prompt and is properly tagged. Drabbles, sketches and doodles are also very much welcome! The only rule is that fanworks that promote hate or violence against a real world group or individual will not be allowed.

Okay, I'm ready to jump in. But what are these "secret prompts"?

In addition to prompts from all members of fandom which are always visible, the mods have also put together 24 secret/hidden prompts to give you the full red pocket experience — you won't know what's in these "envelopes" until you "open" them! Secret prompts which have been claimed will be revealed every Sunday, starting January 1st — so remember to check back on the prompt you claimed which will have been edited by then.

The 24 secret prompts have been labelled based on the 24 solar terms of the Chinese calendar (as the term implies, each term is based on the movement of the sun), and you can think of these as the "envelopes". Inside each is three prompts vaguely based on the solar term. You may create your work based on any one (or more) of the prompts and you can interpret them as liberally as you like. In order to allow for the greatest flexibility, all prompts avoids nsfw content, specific pairings or characters, and common triggers. We encourage you to be as creative as you want, and most importantly, have fun!

Is there a limit on how many people can claim a single prompt?

Nope! You can even claim a secret prompt after it has been revealed, though of course you won't be getting the surprise of "opening" the envelope.

Are there any rules for what kind of prompts I can submit?

You can submit any prompts you want — for any Guardian-related fandom(s), crossovers and fusions with other non-Guardian fandoms (though these would still be required to relate to a Guardian-related fandom in some way), rating (including M & E), medium, content, etc. It can be as general or as specific as you like, ranging from a single word or theme, to a specific scenario you would like to see.

Like for fills, the only rule is that your prompt should not promote hate or violence towards any real world group or individual.

Is there a deadline for submitting prompts or works?

Sign-ups for submitting prompts will be open from Jan 1, 2023 to Feb 19, 2023. While we encourage you to submit your works during this time as well as part of the Lunar New Year celebrations, the collection will remain open after the event so you may continue to post your works.

I have another question!

No problem, just reach out to one of the mods: Sasa, Ascel or Missy.

[forerussake]

for @the-marron who recruited me to the LuoLin agenda and then helped me through writing this. also a bit for @baiyubai whose wonderful art was the starting point of all this. 

Summary:

Loving can be a hard thing. So is remaining true to yourself. Shanghai is both a battle ground and a place where everyday life continues. In it Luo Fei and Lin Nansheng learn to love and to lose, learn to become and just to be. Summer must come eventually, and there is no guarantee of what it may bring, but until then one thing at least remains certain: there is never any shame in having loved.

or

5 times when Luo Fei acquaints himself with one Lin Nansheng’s many sculpted masks and teaches himself to look beyond it, and 1 time when he finally gets to meet the real man, unobscured.

fic rec time - i've reread twice just this week. if you're a fan of weilan derivatives and/or either of these two, and Especially if you loved 人生大事、 you gotta read this. it's so good, i promise

second grace

(28015 words) by lunarriviera

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 人生大事 | Lighting Up the Stars (2022), 开始推理吧 | The Truth (TV 2022) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Mo Sanmei/Bai Sanwan, Mo Sanmei & Wu Xiaowen Characters: Mo Sanmei, Bai Sanwan, Wu Xiaowen, Wang Jianren, Liu Xailai Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Kid Fic, Wuhan - Freeform, Found Family, noodle stalls, Funeral Parlors, mo sanmei's canonical impulsiveness, Men Crying, Absent Parents, bai sanwan's sketchy past, wu xiaowen speaks only truth, listen to her san-ge, zylby48 Summary:

Mo Sanmei scrubs at his head out of habit, but his hair’s grown out now, uneven and falling into his eyes, and it feels unexpectedly soft to the touch. Xiaowen’s left alone too often, he thinks, but he can’t do much about it, and anyway she’s always been fiercely self-sufficient. He should get married, probably. It would be more decent for Xiaowen to have a woman in the house—a real mother, since Wu Haifei left. He thinks about women he knows, but none of them seem right.

In which San-ge, already grateful for the miracle of Wu Xiaowen, stumbles onto another in the shape of local noodle-stall owner Bai Sanwan. And it's just as hard for him to accept this one, at first, until he lets Xiao Bai into his life.

Day 4 of Weilan Derivatives Week 2023: Cosy

Pairing: Bo Li (The Fated General)/King Zhaoxiang of Qin | Ying Ji

Fandoms: 霍去病 | The Fated General (TV), 芈月传 | The Legend of MiYue (TV)  

Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Bai Yu/Zhu Yilong Character Combinations, Forbidden Love, Tragic Romance, Ambiguous/Open Ending, Enemies to Lovers, not sure if this counts as stockholm syndrome but just in case

Summary:

“Your Highness,” Bo Li says warmly, waiting for the guards to close the door behind him. They must love him for it, for being the great commander who shows courtesy to his defeated enemy, visits him upon his return. How honourable, how civilised. Fools, all of them, and Ying Ji is the first among them.

Here, have a 2Luo fic in this Sunday, please:

A Crime for redemption

When Luo Fei needed to distract the policemen guarding the station door at night, the fortuitous appearance of the Dongjiang boy he wouldn't forget, gave him the perfect opportunity. Nosy policemen needed good entertainment that gave them something to gossip about.

And whatever crime Luo Fei was trying to commit or solve, Luo Fusheng only relied on his Detective's judgment for that. And for anything else.
