Public pseuds (especially if your dw handle isn't the one we know you by on lj/twitter): stickmarionette on twitter/tumblr/AO3/DW/LJ. I also have a public fandom twitter at aliasmarionette.
Current favourite fandom: I'm still kind of in CQL/Untamed RPF and am slowly dipping my toes into other Chinese fandoms
Current OTP (or OT3 etc): I'm a chronic multishipper and at the moment that's manifesting in being really into a bunch of different pairings for my two favourite women from Sisters Who Make Waves (aka Langjie) s3, Liu Lian and Yu Wenwen.
Are you having a Renaissance (tm) this year (or every year!): does Fire Emblem count? I need to pick the new game back up but it certainly reminded me of all my feelings, especially for my favourite charming schemer Claude von Riegan.
Food for Thought
How does better (arguably) queer rep in canon affect your relationship with fandom? Fic still necessary? Just fun now? Still better thought out than lazy shoehorning? Worse than ever? Too many puriteens? Sound off here:
A lot of the time what makes me want fic isn't that my pairing don't get together in canon. (In fact I mostly ship non-canon pairings.) Fic is necessary to me because there's something about canon that I want more of, or I want to fix, or to explore, or to see a different angle on. That's usually a plot thing. Sometimes it's a relationship thing but it's very seldom a ship thing.
I agree with the comments others have made about The Untamed being a good mid-point in terms of providing a satisfying arc but also leaving a lot of room for imagination and work.
Lastly, in terms of queer representation, it's still overwhelmingly rare in major genre media properties (in the West or anywhere else) to center a queer couple. So for people like me who like to slash the main character, we'll have lots of room to play for a while yet.
Edit: came back to add my thoughts on the puritanism thing. My experience with this in recent times has unfortunately not been confined to young people who don't know better - if I had to generalise I'd say it's people who are newer to fandom and for some reason have brought a 50s mindset to relationships with them, heteronormativity, fetishizing virginity and all.
I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like to run the discussion myself: I could do something spinning off the end of my presentation? I was thinking something about the migration from danmei to BL.
I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like it to get into the main panel section(s): N/A
I would potentially be willing to moderate a discussion given arysteia is exhausted and labellementeuse (tui_talk) is overseas: Only if the participants agree to address me as Your Honour....Kidding.
Actual Food
My Hell Pizza order for Saturday night is (please bold or ALL CAPS any allergies/intolerances): snack sized Mischief with a thin stretched base and olives, flame kissed
It costs this much, which I will add to my subs when I pay those: $14.50
More crudites, more chips, or more biscuits? Chips!
