Just finished binging Guardian 35-40

[mecurtin]

and I'm a mass of FEELS in my journal. It's flocked, but I've been adding people right & left, so ask here (or at my DW) if you can't see it.

I'm actually dithering over whether I should unlock my fannish posts going forward, to be more open to lurkers and drive-bys. How do you-all (mods & community) feel about people posting episode discussions, meta, squeeing, recs, etc., in this community? Or do you prefer this to be Just The Links, Ma'am?

ETA: I unlocked that post for now. Come on down!

Hiya, I'd love to see the posts of FEELS, if you don't mind adding me. (Also, this may sound slightly weird but your handle is v familiar to me. Were you ever in Stargate fandom? SG1/A?)

As for either direct posts or links, I'm usually good either way? But I do think having posts directly here makes it easier to find everything in one place and then if someone either f-locks or deletes for whatever reason then those posts are still accessible. Also it keeps a lot of really interesting discussion in a central place so it's easier to keep track of. You know, for those times you forget whose journal had that really great convo that you really want to reread but forgot to bookmark at the time. >.>

Just getting back to this comment to say: oh yes, I was in SGA from Season 2 forward.

I don't see it in your tags: were you going by a different name then? Or on a different site?

[firestar]

I was under a different name, on lj and more of a lurker anyway. I don't think I ever posted a whole lot for it. I think I wrote a Heightmeyer/Teyla fic for Wraithbait? And that was probably it. >.>

*mod hat on* trobadora and I had a long discussion before we set up the comm about whether to make it a general comm or a noticeboard, and we went with noticeboard for a number of reasons. We always intended to encourage questions, short recs, and things like that, and although that's starting to blur into short meta posts as well, we'd prefer to keep it primarily as a place of links.

Also, you'll see on the profile that one of our rules is to not link to locked posts, so please either unlock the linked post or delete this one. Thanks! :-)

whether to make it a general comm or a noticeboard

Huh. Is there a general Guardian community out there? If not, maybe we could consider starting one so as to keep the distinction between community functions. I really like the idea of having a common place to squee about stuff.

Seconding this, fwiw.

Thanks for letting me know! :)
