sid_guardian | Comm posts, possible novel read-along, and poll

Hi, all! *waves* We had a poll back at the start of June about what to do next for our weekly discussions/picspams/etc, and then

trobadora and I both got bogged down in Wishlist modding and life stuff. We tried kicking off a Case of the Week series a while ago, but it seems to have fizzled, so we were wondering: where to from here?

One possibility, now that the official novel translation has been published in full, is to have a Guardian novel read-along/book club -- maybe two chapters a week, with a discussion post that just contains a few excerpts. As you've probably noticed,

trobadora and I generally lean drama-focused, and we're mostly interested in the novel as the Ur-text, and how it was adapted. But this comm is for all Guardian fans, and we’d love to see more general novel discussion too!

Like we said in June, we both really enjoy and value having discussions, picspams etc. here and just overall revelling in our Guardian love, so we want to keep having regular posts on the comm. Which means it's important to know what you all want more of (and what you'd be willing to sign up to post about).

Please take a minute to think about what you'd like to see on

sid_guardian, and what you might be willing to post about and/or engage with! It would really help us to know. ♥
