    Summary

    The only reference guide you'll ever need for writing and reading kpop fics with characters of Chinese descentAn entertaining read for both writers AND readers! Introduces many cute (modern) culture fun facts, besides all the romantic fic vocab you need

    For Dummies/ELI5 explanation about the exact difference between the honorifics 'ge' and 'gege', for accurate usage in English fics. Applicable to any fandom, but this explanation is haobin (zb1)-centric. After reading this resource, you'll be an expert at confidently using these words, and plenty others.

    Bonus: other Mandarin terms of endearment and everyday phrases you can sprinkle in your English fanfics for flavour and spice.

    NEWLY ADDED: A bunch more chapters on Chinese culture basic fun facts, and many more trendy cute vocabulary you can use in various areas of fics, mostly romantic but also others, with explanations and examples that touch on Chinese culture (it's a much more enjoyable, educational read than it sounds 😂 slated for 8 chaps total but every chap can be read as standalones)

    (Not fic! Simply in my fic series for convenience)

    Summary

    for anyone who may find it useful to have open in a side tab while reading MDZS fics~

    watching MDZS since 2020 was a steep learning curve for me — I'd never watched a show in Chinese language before! and captions aren't always the most reliable translations... I had to start start keeping track of what I'd learned.

    and I figured this might be helpful to someone else. also, I'm a slut for languages, so this was just fun!
