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.

I live in the panhandle of FL. I feel your pain.

I'm in the honeymoon stage as well, though for me it's been less than a week. I'm absolutely gutted that my Teen Wolf muse is taking a vacation, and yet I'm so squeeful over Guardian that I barely feel it, except that I have Other Obligations.

I'm adding you, if that was not clear. lol

I was just getting ready to reply to your comment, lol! Even if you're on the other side of the state from me, I'm so ecstatic to know there's another Guardian fan in my age bracket in the state! I came out here after a life implosion, and my social circle has been immediate family, with my life consumed by school, and it's really easy to feel like I'm the Only Living Fan in New YorkFlorida. This is especially true considering that I came from Southern California, where you couldn't swing Da Qing without hitting another fan, and where the bulk of my in-person social network reside.

So, less than a week. How far are you? I finished the drama in not quite two weeks, which was nowhere near my record for these things (it used to be, when illness just wiped me out, I'd lay in bed and mainline any new series people shoved at me, trying to get me into their fandom), but which I'm informed is still pretty fast. Are you taking it at a more sedate pace, or are you too overcome by the urge to stuff this world and these characters into your eyeballs every waking moment (and would if adulting didn't get in the way)?

*whispers* I've watched it all.

Mainlining is the right word for it. I couldn't get enough. I'm trying to rewatch at a more even pace lol

Hey, butting in here, but just saying: you can't possibly have beaten me. I watched the entire drama in two days, the first time through. *g*

(Seriously, what is it about this show? I just couldn't stop.)

[green]

I think it was 3 days for me, so yes, you beat me. :D

It's so addictive. I could just stare at them making heart eyes at each other and protecting each other and just... UGH. THEM. ALL DAY.

[trobadora]

Yeah, I literally didn't do ANYTHING other than watching, those two days. Its not possible to watch it in a shorter time without a time machine! But three days isn't much of a difference. *high fives*

I keep rewatching, too. I'll think "oh, I'll just look up this one thing", and before I know it I've watched five more episodes again ... I just love it all so much, not just the shippiness but ALL of it, the team moments, the plots about Dixing escapees/refugees, the "you didn't have the full information!" theme, just, everything. ♥ ♥ ♥

[ranalore]

::stands up and applauds::

That's my kind of commitment!

Yeah, my rewatch is going much more slowly, especially since sometimes I'm skipping around for fic research purposes. It's a tough job, but I'm willing to sacrifice for the cause, she said, deadpan.

*grin*

I watched it all within a week and a half, I think, and would have gone through it quicker if work didn't get in the way. Oh, adulting. I got through the novel much faster.

My rewatch also got derailed by fic research, so there are some episodes I've rewatched multiple times and others I've only seen once.

I grew up in southern FL, so I am very used to hurricanes. I've been living in the NE for the past few years and can now say I've also dealt with blizzards, much as I hate them.
