Guardian fandom friending meme!!!
Our lovely fandom continues to grow beyond our wildest expectations! Comm membership has just hit 100 98 (and we got impatient)! *shameless champagne and ballooooons*
A few small notes and reminders:
And now, without further ado...
Since some of us are new to Dreamwidth, and some of us are new to Guardian, it seems like a good time for a Dreamwidth friending meme. Come and meet new people! (Re)Populate your DW circle!
To participate, just copy the text below, paste it into a new comment and tell us about yourself. (All information is optional.) Then read through other people's comments and say hi / follow them as desired.
(Many thanks toteaotter for prettifying the banner pic! <3)
A few small notes and reminders:
- The Welcome/Intro post and the Fannish Resources post are still alive and kicking. Feel free to drop in at any time and say hi, or give us all your resource links (even the ones that might seem really obvious)!
- Lurking is also totally fine, of course! *waves to lurkers*
- Please tag your posts to the comm so other users can easily find what they’re looking for. In particular, it would be great if you could use the canon: drama and/or canon: novel tags, since it’s not always obvious to us mods which should apply, including for fanart or vids that use drama visuals but draw on novel elements. This is our current list of tags, and we’ll add more type tags as the need arises.
- You can find the full (updated) comm rules on the profile page.
- Feel free to promote sid_guardian on your journal or elsewhere. (Here's a graphic and text.)

DW username:
Languages: English, Chinese (probably considered fluent by any standards other than my own but I mostly read/speak rather than write), Japanese (intermediate, also mostly reading)
Offline location: Somewhere in Southeast Asia
Other online locations:
I like: Gen fic, mostly, but I also read more ship-focused fic for pairings I particularly like! (Weilan definitely qualifies.) Also explorations of characters as aroace, though I don't see these often, alas.
Guardian-specific stuff
Drama, novel or both? Both! Both is good. In terms of canon media consumption I do like the tighter pacing and focus of the novel more (I have… limited patience for sideplots, let's just say), but then the worldbuilding and actual-canonical-timeloop of the drama is also so great. And of course the acting, but I imagine that goes without saying.
Fannish about canon, actors, related shows, RPF or some combination of these? Canon, seeing as that's already taking up all my brainspace available
How long have you been in the fandom? I made a Tumblr post on December 16th saying (and I quote) "guys. yall. should i watch guardian" then promptly started watching it, so almost a month now?
Where can we find your fanworks, if any: On AO3! And also my journal, with some bonus WIP bits for flavour.
Other points of interest regarding your Guardian fannishness: I read/watched both drama and novel in Chinese, and am always up for language-related questions for those curious! Though that also means I'm not familiar with the fandom-accepted English terms aside from what I've seen in fic, oops.
Posting habits
How long have you been on Dreamwidth? Where were you before that? A couple days, and Tumblr/AO3/Discord before this.
What do you post about: Fics and general fandom stuff.
Your other fandoms include: My fannish 2021 was basically going "aaaaaa" over a varying combination of Zhou Shen + Murderbot + several cnovels, then there's also Detective Conan and FMA (my old and new forever fandoms respectively).
Post frequency: Several times a week max? Probably?
Access policy: I may not grant access unless we already know each other from somewhere (though I don't expect to be locking much aside from real-world stuff), but otherwise I'm strictly sfw by personal preference so it's pretty open!
Anything else we should know about you? I have so many Guardian fic ideas bouncing around in my head right now. Send help. Or possibly butterfly nets, I'm not picky.
Random Guardian
I still need to go back and reread the novel with proper appreciation instead of zooming through it at light speed, but heart hands at the whole of Chapter 50 and especially this one line (他难道就不冷么？ Was he not cold?) because I had to put down my phone and screech a bit at that. Just, Zhao Yunlan looking at this persona of Shen Wei's that terrifies absolutely everyone else but instead here he is asking: isn't he cold, too? MY FEELINGS.

The Guardian drama timeloop is a gift, I'm still all ❤😍❤ over it.
