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!

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.

About You
DW username: 55cancrie
Languages: english, bad german, baby's korean!
Offline location: the US
Other online locations: 55cancrie on ao3, 1seokjinnie on twt (lots of bts there), jindaring on tumblr!
I like: mostly slash and femslash, poly on occasion, gen/other is good too! i dont rlly care for het ships (im gay), and im majorly squicked by underage, non/dub con, and incest! probably wont respond super positively to any suggestions of those kinds fkjd

Guardian-specific stuff
Drama, novel or both? drama! im not yet halfway thru but i love it ^__^
Fannish about canon, actors, related shows, RPF or some combination of these? mostly canon, but bai yu is so charming i cant help but be interested in him outside of guardian TT so ill probably watch some other dramas of his if theyre not Too romance-centric. and id probably ship rpf if i got deep enough into the fandom!
How long have you been in the fandom? since mid january? well i started watching in mid january!
Where can we find your fanworks, if any: on ao3, but i haven't written any for guardian!
Other points of interest regarding your Guardian fannishness: hmmm

1. i love zhao yunlan! so much!!!! the man!!!!!! da qing is my second fave fksdkjf
2. im still in the middle of watching it!
3. i actually really love most of the side characters at the SID, even if im shitty at rmbring their names TT

Posting habits
How long have you been on Dreamwidth? Where were you before that? i've been on dreamwidth for a pretty short amnt of time! its been a week? maybe two? ive jumped around SNS, my main base is twitter atm! but i like dw bc its quite quiet and i can just yell for long periods of time, even if its into the void
What do you post about: some personal stuff, writing exercises, feelings jams abt bts, maybe ill write entries for the guardian eps i watch?? mostly im here to comment for guardian skdj i might post fanart infrequently? maybe on a different twitter? not sure if i like my fandoms mixing sdkj
Your other fandoms include: bts (#1 biggest fandom), various anime, and i think thats it..? i am the type to hyperfocus fsdkj
Post frequency: a couple of times a week on dw! a rt/post monster on twt, and very infrequently on tumblr.
Access policy: if u grant me access, ill grant u access! its only fair, but i dont think i post private stuff all that much anyway

Anything else we should know about you? THEY/THEM PRONOUNS!!!!! also i think im probably at the younger side of the fandom? im 18 but still in high school, idk if that will freak anyone out lmao.. ill be ur cheerleader for fic and ur ear for plot ideas, and ill eat up meta like its a fancy french breakfast!

Random Guardian
watching the first couple eps like:


why is he this cute

[unrelaxing]

bai yu is THE MOST CHARMING, you're so right

[no_detective]

zhao yunlan is human charmicide ♥

enjoy watching the rest of the series! i mainlined the whole thing in 2 days while suffering from insomnia, and then promptly started a rewatch immediately. there are sooooo many details to pick up on once you already know how the plot plays out!

[trobadora]

Hi, welcome to DW! :D

I love almost all of the side characters, too. And I keep falling more in love every time I rewatch something. :D

[likealeafonthewind]

Oh, a fellow BTS fan! I love Seokjin's dad jokes. I'm not really active in the fandom, I just consume a lot of fan content, stalk some people's twitters, and watch all the v live stuff that's subbed and all the bangtan bombs, and concert vids....anyway.

[rheasilvia]

I almost wish I could watch Guardian again for the first time - but rewatching is also amazing. :-) And I agree completely on Zhao Yunlan!

[tinny]

but i like dw bc its quite quiet and i can just yell for long periods of time, even if its into the void

oooh you're in for some nice surprises then. *g*

I always thought tumblr was a void, because everyone's just screaming but nobody really talks. But on dw... people don't answer immediately, but only because things don't get immediately lost. We can take our time, and we do and then we stick around and *talk*. It's not so much quiet as it is slow. And we love our wonderfully slow, thoughtful place.

Adding you!
