sundial_exchange_modWe are thrilled to announce the second edition of the Sundial Exchange, for 镇魂Guardian and 镇魂Guardian-related fanworks!
This is the 2021 Lunar New Year exchange! 🥳
This exchange is a type of Secret Santa, where participants are matched with prompts of another participant for whom they secretly create a gift, and also receive a gift from a different mystery gifter. This exchange will encompass all types of transformative fanworks across 镇魂Guardian and related canons.
The timeline:
SIGN UPS START - November 22nd, 2020
SIGN UPS CLOSE - December 6th, 2020
ASSIGNMENTS SENT OUT - By December 13th, 2020
MANDATORY CHECK-IN - January 3rd, 2021
ASSIGNMENTS DUE - Friday, February 5, 2021
GIFTS REVEALED - Friday, February 12, 2021 (Lunar New Year)
Sundial Exchange Values
The Sundial Exchange does not tolerate discriminatory behaviour (e.g., racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, demiphobia, acephobia, transphobia, sexism, cissexism, misogyny, etc.). Instances of behaviours that are intentionally and maliciously discriminatory and hurtful should be reported to mods, who will investigate and take appropriate action, which may include banning.
Fanworks that explore these types of themes (racism etc.) are fine but must be tagged for unless using 'Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings'; fanworks that in themselves constitute hate speech are not. We are not aware of any instances of the latter in 镇魂Guardian fandom, but we want to make our position as mods absolutely clear and make a commitment to BIPOC fans that we have their backs and that this space is for all of us, not just white fans.
With the exception of the above, you are responsible for curating your own experience. We ask that participants heed warnings; if you see a tag for content or themes that squick or trigger you, don't engage with that particular fanwork. Also please be aware that despite best intentions, no tagging scheme will be perfect. The Sundial Exchange believes that Your Kink is Not My Kink and That’s Okay, and that if you Do Not Like, Do Not Click.

Resources on Chinese Culture
We've assembled some resources on Chinese culture that we've found helpful in understanding the context of 镇魂Guardian and 镇魂Guardian-Related Fandoms, for example this post on Chinese names: "it still really jars me when I see just “Zhao” or “Shen” used to refer to the main characters in Guardian" by![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
surreality51. It is important to keep in mind that Chinese culture is not a monolith, and there are differences in usage in different parts of the PRC, Taiwan, and the diaspora. Often the best guide to navigating and engaging with a different culture is to de-centre one's experience, question one's assumptions, and be curious.
