Scene Discussions and Other Things -- Round Twelve sign-ups!

[china_shop]

Huge thanks to everyone who voted in and commented on last week's poll about the future of scene discussions and other meta. We really appreciate all your feedback and thoughts, and all the support the scene discussions series has received! ♥ ♥ ♥

In the end, the vote was tied between continuing on with scene discussions/other meta and starting a Guardian rewatch now, so we've decided to continue the scene discussions, with a view to kicking off a rewatch early next year in line with a planned Discord rewatch.


So that means it's time for sign-ups again!

Round eleven has been wonderful as usual. Enormous thanks to everyone who made such great posts! ♥ ♥ ♥ And much thanks, too, to everyone who's commented and helped to keep the conversation going! It's good to know you're all enjoying the series as much as we are.

Remember that, if like me you still have multiple posts open in browser tabs, it's never too late to comment on a post or jump into a discussion!

And now to sign-ups.

• The scene discussion series is open to all kinds of post types -- meta, squee, rarepair or friendship ship manifestos, recs, polls, etc. If you're not sure whether the thing you'd like to do fits the format, feel free to ask. (So long as it's about Guardian and is not a fanwork like fic or art, the answer is probably yes!)


• There are no minimums! The only requirement is to post something about Guardian (novel or drama) on the Friday or Saturday, according to the schedule below.


• For scene discussions, please check the Scene Discussion Index to make sure your chosen scene hasn't already been covered.


• If you want to include screencaps and can't make or find your own, we can help with that. Just let us know.

So, who's in? Comment here to claim a slot or two by saying what kind of post you're thinking of making, and a date. (Or you can claim a date without having yet chosen a scene or topic.)
