Coming soon: Guardian Slo-Mo Rewatch

[trobadora]

Announcing the Guardian Slo-Mo Rewatch, coming to a sid_guardian near you, starting 5 September. We'll be watching half an episode a week (about twenty minutes) so we can talk and squee about our beloved 镇魂 | Guardian drama.

For those who remember our last rewatch, this time we're aiming for a lighter touch. Posts will be on the minimalist side - a brief summary, one quote, one screencap, maybe one noteworthy detail and some discussion-starter questions.

We're looking forward to some fun discussions as we revisit Haixing, Dixing, and the SID.

Fans of the novel, the drama, or both are very welcome! You don't have to keep up with the rewatch – it's absolutely fine to dip in at any time. We want to hear what you think! Those of us who've just finished the Readalong or are otherwise familiar with the novel are likely to compare and contrast the two canons, but it's 100% okay to focus purely on the drama.

Please consider hosting a post or two, if you're willing and able to! Comment with a date from the schedule below! Posts should ideally be made sometime on the Friday or Saturday, in any time zone.

EEEEEEEEEEEE OMG, this is the best idea ever?? :D :D :D *BOUNCES UP AND DOWN* And you KNOW I will be hosting, but I need to get a feel for how long it takes, so I'm not signing up immediately, but damn is it tempting. :D

ETA: And I entirely forgot to say that this is the perfect picture for it! :D :D

Yayayayay! I'm so looking forward to it!! (Hoping it will kickstart my writing again, too.) :D :D :D

And I entirely forgot to say that this is the perfect picture for it! :D :D

*wins* (I even ventured into GIMP to figure out how to curve the text! I do most of my screencap editing in Paint.NET, but I really wanted "Rewatch" to follow the line of the couch. *g* /far too much detail, hai)

[facethestrange]

YAYAY, for all the reasons, including writing inspiration! :D :D (Which I'm personally really NOT lacking at the moment, hahah, but I know how fast it changes!)

And that's a fantastic detail and I love that I know it, and also THE BACKGROUND, just chilling and floating in the void! :D :D

[china_shop]

and also THE BACKGROUND, just chilling and floating in the void! :D :D

Hee! EXACTLY! :D :D :D

YES! Isn't it delightful? :D

[trobadora]

*twirls you*

Here's hoping for both our writing!

[china_shop]

*fingers crossed* :D

[trobadora]

Yay, so glad you like the idea! :D :D :D I'm really looking forward to it myself.

(The last rewatch was a lot of work because I wanted to take ALLLL the notes, but this one should be a lot more relaxed.)

Cool idea! Life got int he way of my participation in the readalong, but I will make more of an effort!

[trobadora]

Yay! Looking forward to it! Here's hoping life will cooperate. :)

ooh! I was just thinking of doing a rewatch myself and came to the comm in case something was happening, and there is!! Once I catch up I'm excited to watch along :D

[trobadora]

Yay, great timing! Glad to have you along! :D
