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: Tanndell
Languages: English, Hindi, Bengali, (a smattering of) Frencg
Offline location: New Delhi, India
Other online locations: Tanndell on AO3, twitter, tumblr, and Guardian discord (Lurker on all except twitter)
I like: gen, slash, femslash, poly, pretty easy going actually

Guardian-specific stuff
Drama, novel or both? Drama. I tried the novel, but it wasn't my thing
Fannish about canon, actors, related shows, RPF or some combination of these? Canon, actors, RPF, related shows, they have eaten my susceptible brain
How long have you been in the fandom? a month and a half
Where can we find your fanworks, if any: Not yet, but soon on AO3
Other points of interest regarding your Guardian fannishness:
I am a fic idea machine, I just lack the skill and follow through to execute it. I am also an ENTHUSIASTIC cheerleader
Posting habits Terrible. So terrible
How long have you been on Dreamwidth? Where were you before that? Er 2012. LJ
What do you post about: Nothing for a long time, but mostly meta and headcanons and rants
Your other fandoms include: Ahahaha! I am terribly multifannish, so currently Shadowhunters, Buzzfeed Unsolved and I just dipped a tentative toe in Nirvana in Fire so that's happening
Post frequency: Infrequent to negligible though I am hoping to do better
Access policy: The more the merrier

Anything else we should know about you? Journalist turned academic. Intersectional feminist. Love wine and green tea. Dogs make everything better

Hiiii! ♥

Not yet, but soon on AO3
*high-pitched noises of excitement*

[tanndell]

I blame all of you!!!

[starandrea]

Dogs do make everything better! ♥

[tanndell]

Right? Give Shen Wei a large dog he doesn’t know how to deal with! It would be amazing

[starandrea]

I love everything about this vision

[asya_ana]

squeeee you're here <3 And soon to be on AO3? For Reasons?? <3 Also you REALLY are a fic idea machine and everyone should be grateful.

I can't remember how you ended up falling for Guardian. (And I'm so glad you did.)

[tanndell]

Bonibaru’s vid did this to me! Had I known then what I know now

[mekare]

a month and a half

High five! It feels so much longer, doesn't it? :-)

Yay for cheerleaders!

[tanndell]

It feels like forever. Talk about fandoms eating your brain. HI I LOVE YOUR ART

[mekare]

Thank you ♥

[qikiqtarjuaq]

A fic idea machine who's also into RPF? *sends waves of encouragement your way*

I've added you on DW and on twitter (I'm qik1337)!

[tanndell]

Added you back and can I just say how grateful my RPF loving heart is for your amazing primer!!!

[qikiqtarjuaq]

I have to admit, I made that primer with ulterior motives of making this adorable RPF pairing more accessible to the English side of fandom. I'm glad you found it useful! And maybe inspiring? :D

[no_detective]

HI BABE HIIIIIII

[green]

Adding you! hi. :D

[rheasilvia]

I am a fic idea machine

Oh, that is so familiar! Especially in this fandom - Guardian just showers down fic ideas. And I know for a fact that the two of us are not alone with this problem. ;-)
