Welcome to SID Guardian!

Hi, and welcome to SID Guardian!

sid_guardian is a noticeboard/community for:

• linking Guardian fanworks of all kinds


• linking to Guardian-related news (incl. info about the actors and their other roles) and meta (incl. serious meta, squee, picspams, episode reactions, writing-meta)


• making Guardian recs, and


• making fanworks-finder/rec-finder posts.


• ETA: You can also post content directly to the comm.

Which is to say, it's for letting Guardian fans find each other on Dreamwidth. :)

Please link your Guardian-related posts here! Whether novel or drama, this is the place for it. Don't be shy, and please encourage other Guardian posters to link as well. You can also link to/rec things that have been posted by others.

As the comm develops, we hope to introduce social, discussion and/or prompt posts, but given it's December, we thought we'd start small and manageable.

To kick things off, if you feel like it, tell us a bit about how you ended up in Guardian fandom! Or let us know your favourite character or scene from Guardian, or what your power would be if you were Dixingren.

And remember, there's no tension that can’t be relieved with a lollipop. And if there is, try two lollipops.

Please post to the comm if/when episode 7 gets approved?

Will do! Though, it's already been over a month. I think I might have to make another edit and resubmit, hm...

And help to stop all my fic dialogue sounding like awkwardly worded subtitles, haha.

Oh, I get that :P There was a point when I read a lot of poorly translated web novels and I realized that my thoughts were starting to sound like them... oof.

I really wish I was more proficient in Chinese... there are all these tidbits that don't really get across well in English, like all the names ("Black Cloaked Envoy", etc all sound way better in Chinese), and how Shen-Wei-as-the-Envoy talks super formally, but I suppose even if I were fluent, it would be very difficult to translate into English.

*nodnod* That's why I started learning Korean: I watch a ton of Kdramas, and the subtitles never tell you/can't tell you what formality level people are using with each other, which is, like, really crucial information for understanding their relationship.
