Give us all your links!

Hi, everyone!

We thought it would be useful to create a resource page for people in Guardian fandom. We're not talking fanworks - but more things like [personal profile] galaxysoup's episode guide, the original episode titles, translation aids, subtitling aids, Guardian-related content on other websites, related media, actor information, and all that good stuff.

How do you find what you need? Share your tips, tricks and links!

(We'll have a separate post for harder-to-find fanworks such as non-AO3 fic, vids, picspams and icons at a later date.)

Also, while we have you here, a reminder/invitation to spread the news of this comm. We're thrilled to see so many of you here and people posting! It would be a shame if potential followers/members couldn't find us. (And neither of us are on tumblr, so if someone could spread the word there, that would be fantastic!) There's a graphic and text in this post to make it easy.

I found an epub somewhere, but it doesn't have any of the extra epilogs. It's in simplified, though. Guardian was originally published at 晋江文学城: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=1673146
You can usually read the first few chapters for free, then have to pay to access later ones. But with some google-fu, one can usually find at least a txt-file somewhere. I've had trouble with the character encoding, though.

ETA: I would buy the books! I just don't know how, me being in Germany and all.

IKR?!

I am even more mad about not being able to buy Memory Lost. I love that show, it is objectively good (not like Guardian where we all despair over pretty much every detail of the production), but the only version that we have access to is a LQ jumble of eps on dailymotion.

I want to buy it, dammit!

Well, maybe not all of us, then. :)

You can't actually buy the books on jjwxc without a mainland china cell phone number. (It's the only way to register) I read it at novel101 because it has this handy Simplified / Traditional button at the top that flips the text back and forth.

The novel101 link has the first three extras, I found the fourth extra on bilibili and I can't link to it right now, but it's linked off of my translation of extra 4 in @dtiad's masterlist of novel translations and meta.

thank you <3 I'll probably end up backing up all the text posted to my tumblr here, once I figure out how posting/tags work. (naye posted the group to PF, that's how I found you all!)

Have you been linked to any how-to-posts? There were quite a few in the last week or so... Let me see:

This could give you a good start, I hope.
