Welcome to the HIStory3: Trapped 圈套 Community on Dreamwidth
Even the though the fandom is spread around on various social media platforms, I think there are enough people on Dreamwidth who have seen the show to merit a separate community to celebrate our favorite disaster gangsters and their disaster cop boyfriends.
This is a comm for discussing and sharing the love of Trapped 圈套 and its related content, including:
• All types of discussion, discourse, and squee
• Actor news and spam (RPS and speculation is acceptable)
• Fan works (fanfiction, podfic, art, icons, vids, etc.), including your own work, challenges, recs and fanwork finding, beta requests
• Episode recaps
You are encouraged to post content directly to the community so that discussion can happen in one central place.
The Community Guidelines can be found on the profile page.
To start things off, let's introduce ourselves, tell each other how we came into the fandom, and what our favorite things about Trapped 圈套 are.

2021 updates
18 Sep 2021 11:33I'm really sad I wasn't a part of this group when Trapped was airing, but there have been some recent events with some of the cast members that you guys may not know about if you don't follow the fandom much anymore.
On the 1st April this year, Chris and Jake met by chance at a movie theatre:

You can read their IG posts about it (translated) here. They apparently went out for dinner afterwards.
Since then there has been a steady stream of back and forth comments on each others IG posts, all very sweet <3
On 1 September, they appeared on 完全娛樂’s 26th anniversary program. Link.
Afterwards, they did an IG live chat! They just seem so happy to be chatting with each other, and Jake looks great with long hair.
Lastly, on the 9 August, Kenny posted a pic of him and Andy on IG and Facebook:

Here is a link to the translated post.
chrisjake-cp on tumblr (which is where all of the links I've used have come from) keeps pretty up to date with Chris and Jake's posts and things, and also translates them as well.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the HIStory series, and just finished watching Trapped tonight. I'm hoping there are still some people active here that I can fangirl with.
All of the HIStory series are available free on Youtube now too. Here's the link to Trapped: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcHRE_huWMAy-tzLodpi6xtjybuQBZ8dC
The links for the other series are in the video descriptions.

Hi all!
I've been showing H3T to a friend, who is loving it--we finished episode 3 on the weekend.
Sometimes she asks me questions, to clarify the plot etc., and I've been able to answer them so far. But there are a couple of things I expect she's going to ask me about after we're done that I could use some help on...
1) Who kidnapped them in the van?
I re-read
joatamon's (priceless!) timeline, and it doesn't seem like we ever get to hear exactly who was behind the initial van-kidnapping of TY and MSF. I think I generally assumed it was Chen Wen Hao, because of one of the henchmen in the van saying something like "the Boss" wants to see them. (Though I suppose if it was the remnant of Wang Kun Chen's people, they could have been instructed to take Tang Yi to that gang's new "boss".)
2) What kind of prison sentence do we think Tang Yi is looking at?
Given that Tang Yi ends up out on bail/under house arrest and gets to take himself to prison, I assume it's not a crime like murder (the murder of Wang Kun Chen, which is implied to have been done by Jack at Tang Yi's order, to draw Chen Wen Hao back from Cambodia).
So I assume it would have to be something like assault and kidnapping? (the beating/menacing of Zhou Guan Zhi? The offscreen captivity of He Hang?) I doubt Meng Shao Fei prosecuted Tang Yi for the accidental shooting. :D And Jack's info he handed over to Interpol about Hsin-Tien Group I assume would involve the defiant members who were still moving drugs, whereas Tang Yi has gone legit.
Anyway, I've never seen the novelization or similar things myself, but I remember someone mentioning the length of Tang Yi's sentence being in one of those quasi-canon projects somewhere. What was it?
Thanks for any thoughts you may have! I think she'll especially ask me about Interpol, Jack's role in the whole thing, and Tang Yi's prison sentence, so any ideas on those topics in particular will help me get ready! XD

Alright,so here's a poll because we love clicking on those,right?! :D

Let us all know which setting you chose and which character(s) you chose in the comments.
You are welcome to come up with a short scenario of how you survive or just explain why you chose the characters you did. I'm sure some writers can even get ideas from your thoughts!XD

Hi.. I'm new to the fandom/late to the party and I'm gonna be checking out this cool community and commenting as soon as I can. The positive thing about being late is that you have a lot of content to see.
I've written this little thing and I thought I could post it here too. I think people on AO3 didn't like it because stream of consciousness is not for everybody, so I'm not surprised and I totally get it; and well, it's not what I usually write but I've written some internal monologues for Black Sails, Teen Wolf, Eyewitness and The Red Line, so it's something that I enjoy writing from time to time. I'd like to write something with dialogue but I have a problem with the fact that they speak in Mandarin and I'm used to writing characters in the language they speak on the show, so we'll see.

Yes hi I'm new, only finished watching last night, and I have two very important requests. XD
1) Fic reeeeeeeeecs, please (all canon pairings, all ratings).
2) Does anyone know a source for screencaps from the show?

Would anybody like to take over as moderator of this comm?
There has been a lot of activity going on lately with the Trapped actors (particularly Andy and Kenny) and with the release of the manga, but I have fallen out of the fandom and therefore an sadly unable to keep up and keep the discussion going.
If you are interested taking over, please send me a private message or comment below so I can get in contact.
Thank you.

So, there's a manga
3 Jul 2020 21:55There's going to be a HIStory3: Trapped manga.
It will be released on 17 July 2020. It is called "Us after" and is apparently illustrating the two epilogues in the novelization.

Check
stebeee, who has all the details.

Check
Apparently Kenny Chen has quite a conundrum, and he needs everybody's help.
He is releasing a photobook with Andy Bian, and he needs our assistance to help choose the cover.
The first one is a closeup of Kenny hugging a wall, and the other two are shots of him in the bathtub. Yes, you heard me right, friends, two out of three choices for the Kenny Chen and Andy Bian upcoming photobook are him IN A BATHTUB.
I suppose this also a good time to show you the title of the book:

The title is "Staying True" in English, and in Chinese 初心 can be "true intention" or also "true feelings." (And is incredibly close in Japanese to 初恋, which means "first love.")
When is this book coming out? I have no idea. When are Kenny and Andy coming out? Likely the same date?
Head on over to Kenny's instagram to vote for your favorite cover. Higher resolution photos are available on his Facebook page.

So
bonibaru has put a challenge to me and I'm a little ridiculous / obsessive over details that don't actually matter so...
Does anyone know if Character Profiles exist anywhere? Specifically for Jack...
Anyone know anything about military service in Taiwan? Mandatory or otherwise? I'm not pages deep in Wikipedia, I swear...
