Guardian: fic: Experiments in Dynamic Translation

Title: Experiments in Dynamic Translation
Fandom: Guardian (TV)
Rating: E-rated
Length: 9,017 words
Notes: Part of my Breakage and Repair 'verse. In which Shen Wei and I both discover kink from first principles. Much much thanks to [personal profile] teaotter for beta!
(Riddles and conundrums are in the same ballpark, right?)
Tags: Chu Shuzhi/Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Established Relationship, Domesticity, Soft D/s, Unplanned/Impromptu Kink, Identity Porn (literal).
Summary: It’s been just over ten weeks since his and Da Qing’s return to the land of the living, and in that time, Shen Wei has not yet had occasion to don his robes of office in front of Shuzhi—or indeed, to conduct any Envoy business at all in his presence. He’s visited the SID once or twice on official matters, but only in Haixing clothes, and he’s been sure to keep his manner light and casual in the public areas. Formal liaising is for the privacy of Zhao Yunlan’s office.

Now, faced with the prospect of a Dixing state dinner, Shen Wei discovers he’s slipped into—not so much keeping secrets as compartmentalising. Again.

Lorne: Well, I figured since you all managed to destroy my club - twice - that I wouldn't be imposing if I hit you up for a place to stay. (Sees the mess in the lobby) On second thought, maybe I should reconsider that standing offer I have from a marginally attractive Mulix demon.

Fanvid beta?

Would anyone be interested in looking at a mirror!Philippa Georgiou fanvid draft?

It contains footage from both Discovery and the Section 31 movie, but I think it should work even if someone hasn't seen the latter.

The beauty (?) of pre-streaming TV

Apologies for the post title -- I am very bad at coming up with titles for entries.

This topic arose out of a discussion on Bluesky and I thought it would be interesting to post it here. The premise is that before streaming, scripted television had to react to its own reality. What I mean is, shows that had to pump out 20+ episode seasons *every year* had to deal with actual real life things and work them into the script. For example, a character becomes pregnant because the actor gets pregnant, or a lead role had to "go missing" for part of a season because the actor was off doing a movie or dealing with a real life issue, or a character had to end up in a cast or otherwise accommodated because the actor injured themselves in real life, or the "filler episodes" that exist because of budget concerns, or the finales that were written because they didn't know if they'd be renewed for another season, etc.

With streaming, because the wait between seasons is so long, we no longer get these (admittedly sometimes rather demented) workarounds anymore. Or as one person on Bluesky put it: "If you can just tell the story you want to tell with the actors you have with whatever running time you want, it's not TV, it's a movie."

Thoughts? Do you miss the imposed responsiveness of pre-streaming TV? Do you have any favourite (or not so favourite) examples of plot lines that came about because of real life events involving the actors or other aspects of the show (e.g. budget issues)?

Willow: I'm just saying you might wanna rethink the stereotype before someone turns *you* into a toad. And while you're at it, why don't you try removing that broomstick from your-- Dawn!
Dawn: Hey. Don't stop the invective on account of me.

~~All The Way~~

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Tuesday, September 16

Xander: I'll have you know I was just accosted by some kind of, um, locker monster.
Giles: Loch Ness Monster?
Buffy: 'Locker' monster is what he said. But it wasn't really a monster. It was, like, this big arm that came out of the locker, but then we opened it again, it was gone. Nothing.
Xander: This was right after Buffy's history teacher starts doing some freaky channeling thing in class.
Giles: Ooh! Sounds like paranormal phenomena.
Willow: A ghost? Cool!
Xander: Oh, no, no. No. No cool. This was no wimpy chain rattler. This was 'I'm dead as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore.'
Giles: Well, despite the Xander-speak, that's a fairly accurate definition of a poltergeist.
