forestofglory: A black and white drawing of a dire panda with the word Dire across the bottom (Dire Panda)
[personal profile] forestofglory
Welcome!

Ever since [personal profile] melannen mentioned that dire pandas existed around 10,000 years ago and therefore would fix right into Ye Olde Haxing, I have wanted Guardian fanworks with dire pandas. I have talked about this with other fans and I’m not the only person who thinks that this would be fun. So I’m hosting an event! Please come and create dire panda fanworks with me!

Fanworks can be as silly or serious as you desire. Any type of fanwork is allowed. There’s no minimum word count or pixel size or anything like that. Works inspired by the drama, the novel, or RPF are all allowed. WIPs, continuations of existing works, and work for other events are all fine. I’m aiming to make this fun and low pressure. Prompts and cute pictures of pandas are not only allowed but encouraged.

How It Works:

•Please put your creation, or the link to your creation, in a comment to this post.
•Any type of fanwork, all pairings, 'verse, lengths and ratings are welcome.
•You may leave prompts and cute pictures of pandas (dire or otherwise) in the comments.

I will update this post with a list of all works created for this challenge. On October 16 I’ll post a round up of everything that has been created so far, but the challenge will not close, and anything that gets posted after that will still be linked to in the main post. If there’s enough additional fanworks after the 1st round up I may post a second round up at some point.

By "someone" I mean either Shen Wei or Zhao Yunlan. My main point here is the mauling.

Prompt: dire panda heist!

So most dire pandas are in hiding. Maybe in Dixing. Whatever. Then it turns out a reclusive billionaire has a CAPTIVE dire panda which is being mistreated by being treated as an entertainment source.

Shen Wei hears of this. He remembers the dire pandas of his youth! He is enraged that one would be treated as a pet! He decides to enlist Zhao Yunlan in getting it to freedom.

It's too big to portal. Or he can only portal it about 10m at a time or something. It also is NOT tame.

Prompt: Shen Wei riding a dire panda

I have simple needs. I just need Shen Wei to ride a dire panda, that's all. (I have wanted that since [personal profile] lynndyre brought it up in the other thread.) NEED. Really.

Prompt: Dire Panda Yashou

Dire Panda Yashou! Surely they must exist, right? And have survived into the present somehow?

Prompt: Undercover as Dire Pandas

Ye Olde Haixing Era. The Alliance receive word that the Rebels have captured a number of Dire Pandas and are using them... for transport? Or something? Using Shen Wei's power of Disguise, he and Zhao Yunlan go undercover as Dire Pandas in the Rebel camp, to retrieve the Hallows and save the world ancient megafauna!

Bonus for the Dire Pandas being intelligent, possibly another alien species.

Prompt: Dire Panda circus rescue

Zhao Yunlan gets a job with a traveling circus that's passing through town, meets an enigmatically cool but handsome magician (spoiler alert: turns out some of his tricks are made a lot easier by having an identical twin). He tries to flirt but he gets a lot of side eye from the grouchy trapeze artist who always wears black and is very protective of the magician's very young, very innocent, and slightly jumpy assistant, and ... ok wow he doesn't actually need a trapeze bc he can swing himself on his own strings? This is so weird, Zhao Yunlan thinks. But wait - the sideshow! Snake lady! Cat boy! Bird woman! Dire pandas! So cool - except - they don't seem to be fake ... and no one ever seems happy ... this carnival has dark secrets. Can Zhao Yunlan help the dire pandas and everyone else escape the clutches of a terrifying evil ringmaster with terrible purple hair? AND get in the hot magician's very tight pants?

I just want Shen Wei to have a freaking dire panda as a daemon, and be blithely making people believe she's a normal panda or that he had some megafauna fixation as a kid or something.

Your prompt inspired me to do a daemon AU, although it didn't come out the way you wanted it to go XD

From a twitter convo:
Dixing decides to gift Haixing with a dire panda (or maybe the Regent is just trying to get rid of it?) and when nobody in Haixing knows what to do with it the SID is called in to assist. Who knew that the Black Cloak Envoy has a super soft spot for dire pandas?????

Thank you for the challenge. I can't seem to spontaneously generate fic very often anymore. When I write it's pretty much always for a fest or an exchange or a challenge. So I needed the structure!

Damn it I wanted to name mine 'Pandamonium' then I came here and it was already used...

Edit: Named it PANDAnt instead.
