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.

Yay! I'm glad you like them. They're a few hours of work (a surprisingly large chunk of which is uploading the screencaps to imgur, lol), so any response is very heartening.

How is imgur as a host? I used to use photobucket back in the day, before they started screwing the userbase over and I'd love something more straightforward than DW's current uploader. (I miss being able to upload straight into posts. ;-;)

It's decent, though IIRC nsfw images aren't allowed, but you might want to check the terms of service. Its major flaw is that it will reorder the images you upload, and one of the features it has is that it'll be super duper slow/just plain not upload if you try to upload too many megs of image at the same go, so I have to upload the screencap albums 3-5 images at a time. (100 × 100px icons, I can upload 50 in one go, no problem; it just rearranges them.) Even in small batches, it'll occasionally freeze uploads at 3%, which can only be cured with a refresh – since I want all the screencaps in one album, I made an account to I can continue adding to the same album after refreshing.

The actual interfaces for uploading and rearranging are decent. Just be sure to not click the rearrange button if there's images less than 100% uploaded, and only add annotations/text on images that are completely uploaded, lest imgur lose it.

Cool, thanks for the info. <3
