osprey_archer | Parallelsfic nominations

parallelsfic nominations are upon us again!

parallelsfic is a summer fic exchange for Asian fandoms, kind of parallel to Yuletide? I think that’s where the names come from.

Last year I didn’t get to take part because it was basically all anime fandoms and I knew like two of them, which was sad. But this year! This year I was proactive and nominated basically every Asian fandom that I love, although this forced me to confront the tragic fact that I haven’t seen any new Bollywood movies for over a year. They do take a certain amount of time commitment.

(Part of the reason I always try to sign up for

parallelsfic is because I yearn in my soul for a Dostana OT3 fic. I realize that Dostana itself ought to fulfill this yearning, but nonetheless I am greedy and want more. I mean, just look at this.

"But when you smile for me/the world seems all right..." Doesn’t that look amazing and fun and like it should have the most enormous fandom?)

Also also! I nominated all my favorite Studio Ghibli movies: My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo - there appears to be no Ponyo fic in existence, even though it is full of underwater magic, I do not understand - Arriety, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke.

(I also recently saw The Cat Returns, but I actually didn’t like that so much, because the heroine spends most of the movie being tossed helpless on the winds of Fate.)

ANYWAY, the point of this is that everyone should sign up, even if the only Asian fandoms you know are Studio Ghibli, because a Studio Ghibli exchange would be awesome.
