It's nice to meet you!

About You
DW username: [personal profile] glymr
Languages: English, passable Japanese (ie I can get around Japan and hold basic conversations. My reading skills are pretty weak, my speaking skills are halfway decent.)
Offline location: Southern California (North of San Diego, South of Los Angeles)
Other online locations: [archiveofourown.org profile] glymr [twitter.com profile] glymrs I used to tumblr but haven't since the tumblrpocalypse.
I like: (het, slash, femslash, gen, other, poly, all of the above) Everything! I started out writing Sailor Moon femmeslash, but I'll read anything. Mostly I write and read slash these days.

Guardian-specific stuff
Drama, novel or both? I like the drama better than the novel, but I don't mind fusion fanfics! (I find have a bit of a weakness for tiny!feral!Shen Wei and grown up versions of same. It's not my usual type at all, but...Drama!Shen Wei, on the other hand, is EXACTLY my type.)
Fannish about canon, actors, related shows, RPF or some combination of these? All of the above! I never thought I would be into RPF, but these actors have such chemistry that I can't resist! I've been watching Detective L and would love recs for other subtitled shows that star Zhu Yilong or Bai Yu! (Zhu Yilong especially... <3)
How long have you been in the fandom? Not long as of this post. :) I started watching sometime in early August 2019.
Where can we find your fanworks, if any: [archiveofourown.org profile] glymr
Other points of interest regarding your Guardian fannishness: My interests and likes are pretty broad in general, but especially where this fandom is concerned (I have read two types of stories I never thought I would, thanks to this fandom: RPF and twincest.) I love AUs as well as canon-based stories. I love clever novel and dramaverse fusions. I'm happy to help beta when I have time, just ping me! I'm in the camp that doesn't find the ending to the show tragic, just sad, because I believe that they will be able to come together again someday.

Posting habits
How long have you been on Dreamwidth? Where were you before that? I used to be on LJ around 2010-2011. I made a Dreamwidth but didn't do much with it other than crosspost on LJ, until LJ faded out around 2012ish. Tried to revive interest in DW by making a Detroit Become Human community after the tumblrpocalypse, but it languished. Now active again thanks entirely to Guardian and its lovely community!
What do you post about: Mostly fannish stuff.
Your other fandoms include: Detroit: Become Human, My Hero Academia, Dresden Files, Batman (comics), Robin (comics), DC Comics, MCU, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, DN Angel, Little Busters, The Expanse!
Post frequency: Variable - depends on how busy RL gets.
Access policy: At one point I locked down a lot of my old journal. I've been slowly putting the fic from it on AO3, but there's still a decent amount to go. I rarely lock posts now (only if there's something personal in them) but I'm happy to give access to anyone who asks.

Anything else we should know about you? I'm an extrovert in RL, and I love to travel. I frequently attend conventions. I would be really excited to meet fellow Guardian fans in person, so if you're going to be in the Southern California area (especially near San Diego) or if I post that I'm going to be in your area and you'd be interested in meeting in person, let me know! I'm friendly and enthusiastic, but very short, so most people don't find me overwhelming. ;)

Random Guardian
insert Guardian pic/gif/novel quote/thought/link of your choice here!

I think my single favorite moment is in the Drama. Zhao Yunlan catches Shen Wei cutting himself in the kitchen, presses him for answers, and yells at him in frustration. He says, "I'm not worth what you're doing for me."

And Shen Wei, without a second of hesitation, immediately says, "You're worth it." And he is completely, utterly, sincere.

I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
