How did you first get into Guardian fandom?mekare posted fanart and talked about the show and it seemed relevant to my interests, especially after I watched a couple vids. Took me a while to get into it, but once I did, hoo boy.
What is one thing you love about the show? The absolute devotion of the entire crew to make this show what it was.
What is your favourite terrible special effect? Um...any attempt to tone down the romance?
What is (one of) your favourite relationship(s) on the show (either romantic or friendship) and what do you like about that relationship? Obviously I am head over heels for Shen Wei + Zhao Yunlan but I adore the relationship Zhao Yunlan has with Da Qing. It's cozy but not soft. I love seeing various aspects and possibilities of their relationship explored in fic.
Do you have a favourite character? Other than the main leads, I'm 100% team Zhu Hong, and it kills me that I don't have anyone to ship her with.
Do you have a favourite villain? I actually enjoy how much I hate the Regent, which is something I can't say for the others whom I find either annoying or enraging. Seriously, I just can't with Ye Zun. Like, at all.
Talk to us about one (or more!) of your favourite Guardian-related canons: I only watched the first three episodes of Detective L--loved it, but am at a place right now where I need satisfying endings, so...I'll probaby watch the rest of it eventually, but not yet. Other than that, just the constructed reality vids from their various productions.
Do you like RPF? I didn't until Guardian! It's gotta be AU type stuff, though, because my heart can't take thinking about them in love when they can't be out about it.
What other fandoms are you in or have you been in? Currently, History 3: Trapped and due South, although I hung out in Sherlock fandom for a while *sad trombone*. Haven't been able to even re-read old fics since Season 3 tho. I still read ACD and Ritche!verse Sherlock Holmes, as well as Will/Hannibal, Arthur/Eames, Kirk/Spock, Marcus/Esca, and occasionally I peek at what the Venom fandom is up to. I also love Resonant's Brian/Bender fic (Breakfast Club) and Transfigurations (the only Harry/Draco fic I'll ever need).
What are some of your general fanwork likes: Honestly, I came to fanworks for the smut and that hasn't changed. Guardian is the first fandom that's pulled me in enough to read Gen or T. I like pining, angst with a happy ending, and porn with feels.
Where can we best find you to squee more about this thing or other things? Here on DW since it best facilitates conversation, but I'm also clevermanka on Tumblr and Twitter.
Anything else you want to say? Fandom is my life, not even joking. Kinda wish I was, but I'm not. A million thanks to the fandom friends who helped me limp through last year and here's looking at y'all who're gonna help haul my ass through this one, too. Gold star medals for everyone.

Do you have a favourite ad campaign (such as Bai Yu's rentboy photoshoot or Zhu Yilong's ReFa ads)? Bai Yu's Addicted Blue shoot vid paired with Schwarzkopf Color. Also the Thermos Magic Cottage.
