In honor of @convenientalias‘s AMAZING crackfic A Very Human Talent, Thank You Very Much, I have made this exceptionally stupid poster.

(I like to think that Lin Chen made this and sent it to MCS as a birthday card or something equally obnoxious)

NIF Feedback Bingo Roundup

I love this challenge SO MUCH you guys. I always get to do fun things that I absolutely wouldn’t have done otherwise and it is the BEST! I highly recommend for any fandom, but especially for NIF and for the Niu Years fest in particular!

Look at all the little Jingyans! (I realize the challenges are completely unreadable, but they are listed under the cut along with RECS!)

This is FAR from the first time I’ve read this one but it still WRECKED me. AMAZING character interactions and some truly stellar moments, and the ending is SO satisfying.

Danser sur la corde by Ahelya

For: Work or feedback in a different language

Y’all our French fandom is SO TALENTED. I feel so bad for them because they don’t get a lot of response, but every single French fic I have read has been AMAZING and this was no exception. GORGEOUS imagery, and an incredible take on the “stop right there” moment. If you have any French at all I highly recommend.

A Very Human Talent, Thank You Very Much by @convenientalias​

Create media/visual transformative work as feedback, @ the creator on a different platform

I love this fic SO MUCH!! So it ended up being the sacrificial lamb for my usual extremely stupid graphic interpretation. Definitely read it for some EXCELLENT Irritated MCS, and enjoy the bonus giraffe!

For: Work with <5 comments, Feedback on a work other than fic

Our most wonderful round figurine friends!!! I was having a bad day when I looked at this one and it cheered me right up! If you haven’t already seen Clay Changsu, love yourself and check out this whole series.

Yo this one HAUNTS me! Only one chapter so far but the writing is so VIVID. A little darker than I usually go for but I had an awesome time.

Every Stumble and Each Misfire by @k-dayun​

You Don’t Have to Thank Me by @aboxthecolourofheartache

For: create word-based transformative work as feedback

It would not be me if I did not rec at least SOMETHING by Anna. This time I picked this super cute slice of life piece with AWESOME Jianghu Fam interactions and some especially delightful Meng Zhi content. I decided it needed a sequel, which turned out to be a delightful little writing project.
