Guardian fandom friending meme!!!

[china_shop]

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:

1. 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)!


2. Lurking is also totally fine, of course! *waves to lurkers*


3. 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.


4. You can find the full (updated) comm rules on the profile page.


5. Feel free to promote sid_guardian on your journal or elsewhere. (Here's a graphic and text.)

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!

I really, really, REALLY love the drama. I haven't fallen this fast, this hard for anything in a long time, and no matter what anyone says, I don't think any part of it is actually bad.

I'm with you!!! I love the drama so much. I like the drama's decision to use time travel, I'm fine with the drama's ending, and I really love the drama's versions of the characters. I find them a lot different from the novel, and tbh I like the drama versions more. Even the low budget production values I just find endearing, and it makes me proud of how much they were able to do on so little money lol. I'm all in with this show haha.

Right? ALL of that. (Except that I've only read part of the novel, because I couldn't quite warm up to it.) I mean, would it be great if they'd had a bigger budget? Of course! But nothing that actually matters about the drama would be affected by that - the differences would be merely cosmetic. So I can't bring myself to care.

I love the drama characters and their world so much, and I wish there wasn't so much fic that randomly mixes in novel characterisation or worldbuilding, because it really doesn't fit.

And I'm always happy to find someone else who's good with the ending! Friending you now. :D

Right? Weird pacing issues aside, I'm constantly impressed by what this cast and crew managed to pull off, both in terms of working within a tiny budget and getting something as blatant as weilan past the censors. Repeatedly, in the latter case. And the more I learn about both, the more impressed I am.

Also, I grew up on Power Rangers and 90s scifi, I can't complain about production values. XD

Right? I still can't believe they got all of this past the censors TWICE.

And I love a lot of older sci-fi like the original Star Trek and Raumpatrouille. I really can't bring myself to care about the quality of special effects anywhere.

*nods* I mean, I love me some Babylon 5 and will rewatch that til the cows come home, but lord the special effects are dated now. Doesn't stop me loving the shit out of that show.
