Before I start posting fanfic and talking about Guardian, I’d like to give you all some idea of what this fandom is about. So!

Guardian is a Chinese fantasy/scifi series about a cop who heads a specialized team for supernatural* crime. Zhao Yunlan – the cop – is supported in his endeavors by Shen Wei, a mild-mannered professor who acts as a consultant, and who frequently jumps in to save Zhao Yunlan and/or the day. He does this surprisingly effectively, because Shen Wei is secretly an immensely powerful being known as the Black-Cloaked Envoy, one of the rulers of the supernatural* realm. Shen Wei has also been in love with Zhao Yunlan for thousands of years, for complex and spoilery reasons that don’t need exploring at this juncture.



* I use „supernatural“ as shorthand for „technically scientifically explainable scifi-genre-like goings-ons that are for all intents and purposes supernatural“. More on this in a bit!

The entire series is available on YouTube, with subtitles, and is a delight. I encourage you to check it out if you have any interest in gay romance, or fantasy/scifi with an unusual slant.

If you do give this series a try, I’d love to know what you think! :-)

Allow me to introduce you to craziness, highly attractive young men, insane costumes, rampant slashiness, pop music with a side of synchronized acrobatics and superheroes, no-holds-barred general wackiness, and sheer cracky fun: in other words, the Japanese boybands KAT-TUN, Kanjani8 and NewS.

Before I inflict my most recent fannish creations on my unsuspecting friendslist, it's only fair that I issue some advance warning in the form of an explanation of who these people are. *g* This will also enable you to flee betimes, should you so desire.

Please note that this is not a balanced presentation in any way. I have a very definite focus. :-)

Warning: Picspam behind the cut(s)!

I will spare you the account of how I got into this – yeah, I've written that out too, but I think this is more than enough for one day. :-)
