Re: let's play: DNW WTF

Great Cities Series - N. K. Jemisin
The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin
더 킹：영원의 군주 | The King: Eternal Monarch
琅琊榜 | Nirvana in Fire (TV)
Olympics RPF

...

I was expecting something more like that lingering pinch hit where the poor person likes ex-Yu stuff and is clearly wary about people who don't get their culture. Instead, we have this.

I think this DNW should have been put in a couple of these fandom sections with specifics about what might be a problem. The first one sounds like it has potential for clueless writing in a way this recip might notice, but the rest? One of them isn't even set in the real world, one is set a long-ass time ago, one's set in an alternate earth, and the RPF they say they know next to nothing about. They'd have been better off with a request for no US-flavor AUs or something about how much they like the culture and setting of canon.

To be fair, I can totally understand why they want their author to get a Genthen sensitive reader. Unisex people are so gross and weird about kemmer. I mean, did you read those excerpts from the first Envoy's journal that got published a while back? And that was a trained diplomat!

But if you write fic from his POV... isn't getting a sensitivity reader going to make him OOC?

Now I want a fic from the POV of Genly's Gethenian sensitivity reader.
