Snowflake Challenge #13

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources you use or enjoy.

Hm, you know, I don't actually use fandom resources that much. Not fandom-specific ones, anyway. I don't write the kinds of things that get into that kind of detail, usually. But there are a lot of good resources for The Untamed/MDZS, if I can track down links to them (I do actually save resources, I just don't reference them often).

MDZS/CQL (The Untamed) Resources

MDZS Timeline by thewickling
Additional Tags: Fanwork Research & Reference Guides, Meta, Nonfiction, Módào Zǔshī History
Series: Part 1 of MDZS-Dissecting, Zealous Shimei
Summary: A guide to MDZS's confusing chronology that I unwrangle in my spare time. The rest of that series is also very helpful!

Reference for Modao Zushi Writers: Chinese terms by chaoticjoy
Additional Tags: Meta, Fanwork Research & Reference Guides
Summary: This is to provide a reference for writers who are unfamiliar with Chinese literary conventions or terms used in canon. Prompted by https://three--rings.tumblr.com/post/187301034228/things-the-mdzs-fandom-desperately-needs-if-they

A reference post of references by wangxianfics Everything you could imagine from timelines to very specific posts; writing-centric, I think?

Posts about very specific topics
Relationship terms in wuxia
Wuxia terms of address
Spreadsheet of who calls who what
Tons of linguistic references
MDZS Modern AU Fic Tips
Flying Times by Sword
Unusual colors in Chinese
three--rings on sex and consent in the novel (there are four parts; the other three are linked here)
a list of the Gusu Lan rules

Pronunciation tips etc:
As a podficcer, there are lots of pronunciation guides, but the one I found most helpful was by pumpkinpaix. Here is the pinyin post on tumblr; there are links to name pronunciation posts in there as well.

lunatique's pronounciation guide also links to a name pronunciation guide by summertea.

Excellent blogs for various things:
hanfu-asks (hanfu and Chinese traditional clothing)
hunxi-guilai (lots of MDZS specific meta but also linguistic and cultural meta)
three--rings (MXTX meta)
wangxianfics (Catchall for meta and resource posts around tumblr)

Translations/manhua:
exiled rebels translation of the novel
tamingwangxian translation of the novel (incomplete)
Masterlist of translations including the above
mangakakalots manhua with English subs

BJYX (The Untamed RPF) Resources

Xiao Zhan filmography
Xiao Zhan filmography with links to English subs
Masterlist of Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo joint interviews

I'm gonna keep adding to this as I dig up my resources because I could use a nice place to keep them all, so stay tuned.

I keep looking at The Untamed and while I'm seduced by the pretty (and my enabling friends), I just can't manage another fandom at this moment... but these sound like awesome resources! Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome! And this fandom is... something else. I've been here for about 18 months now and considering it's a single TV show that definitely will not get a sequel, I'm a little surprised at its staying power! It's also huge, so even if you get into it later, there is so much content at this point, it'll take years to get through it all. :D
