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.)

About me!
DW username: aquariusdelamar
Languages: English, Spanish (Spain dialect)
Offline location:
Other online locations: (ao3, twitter, tumblr, pinterest, etc.) AO3 and tumblr
I like: It depends on what media it's about. I like both gen and slash. The main thing I really like is ensemble fics, where everyone gets a little time in the spotlight. Or character studies.
Guardian-specific stuff
Drama, novel or both? both
Fannish about canon, actors, related shows, RPF or some combination of these? Canon, although I do also like The Lost Tomb! ZYL was my first Wu Xie.
How long have you been in the fandom? Not long at all. A month or 2?
Where can we find your fanworks, if any: AO3, although I do not have any. I have a time travel AU knocking around in my head, but I have no idea if that will come to fruition.
Other points of interest regarding your Guardian fannishness: Lin Jing is my favorite character, and I've imprinted on the SID. In all honesty I feel like I might have latched onto the wrong thing, in that I watched a BL which is a genre explicitly about the relationship between the two main characters and went "...but what about the side characters???" Lol
Posting habits uh. I don't really know yet. I'm gonna guess that it's gonna be long stretches of lurking with occassional comments/discussions of characters.
How long have you been on Dreamwidth? Where were you before that? I made this account specifically to post to this board lol
What do you post about: Uh. I don't know yet. SID probably. And lore.
Your other fandoms include: C-Drama wise, I'm a fan of the Lost Tomb. Other fandoms...I'm going to be honest, I usually just enjoy fandoms and media without really talking about it on the internet. I like anime!
I don't know if this counts as a fandom thing exactly, but I'm really fascinated by the bronze age Minoans!
Post frequency: No idea.
Access policy: I don't know what this means.
Anything else we should know about you? It'll probably take me a while to catch onto the correct lingo, the fandom spaces I've been in previously used some different terminology. Also, I usually steer away from a lot of active fandom participation, especially in larger fandoms, but everyone here seems pretty chill!
Random Guardian
insert Guardian pic/gif/novel quote/thought/link of your choice here!
The following is a quote from the novel, and it still makes me laugh every time I think about it.
Lin chants, "That which is form is emptiness...I will pray for him after this."
Zhao is irritated, "that which your head! Speak English or shut your mouth!"
Lin Jing calmly responds "...that which is emptiness is form."
"Motherfucker!"
Re: About me!
The main thing I really like is ensemble fics, where everyone gets a little time in the spotlight.
Oh, that is very nice! I love ensemble fic a lot myself. I wish it wasn't so hard to write! But a great ensemble is often a huge part of making me fall in love with a fandom.
Not long at all. A month or 2?
That's awesome, you're very new! I hope you'll keep enjoying Guardian for a long time to come. :)
I have a time travel AU knocking around in my head, but I have no idea if that will come to fruition.
I love time travel, so I'll be cheering you on! (And the time loop is one of my favourite things about the drama.)

Guardian has so many great side characters, there's nothing wrong with that! I mean, I really love Weilan and ship it hard, but I wouldn't love them nearly as much if they weren't surrounded by a world and a cast of characters I also love, and I'm always happy when people want to explore the side characters more. ♥
Access policy: I don't know what this means.
On Dreamwidth, you can make public posts, or limit them to the list of people you've given access to. Some people give access to everyone they know, others limit it more. It depends on what they post under lock, mostly.

Great you found us, I hope you enjoy it here! And don't worry about the terminology. If somehting doesn't make sense, just ask. :)
