Yuletide 2017
Dear Yuletide writer,
My apologies for the delay in completing this - and please know that if what I'm about to say doesn't correspond to what you'd like to write, I am honestly happy to receive whatever works for you!
Things I like:
In all three series, what interests me primarily is the dynamics between people - friends, family members, potential lovers, enemies (one of my favourite things in The Disguiser was the relationship between Ming Lou and Wang Man Chun) - which was narrated and shown expectionally well. There is such intensity, and such slow-burn development in showing the depths of that intensity, which I absolutely love. I also enjoyed learning about Chinese culture and language through these shows, and taking note of how social customs and social rhetoric differed from those in US and European television.
In terms of general fic things, I like reading about banter, world-building, people thinking about their profession/work/studies, slow-burn romance, pining, smart people being smart about things and people.
Things I don't like:
Historical, cultural, and linguistic inaccuracy, platitudes in narrative or dialogue, marriage, kid-fic.
But as I said, please write whatever works for you and I promise I will be happy with it!
