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.

Oh yes, I'd love to read that post!

(And that's only the ones that are tagged, the rest is still noncon more likely than not.)

:( Kinky porn I expected (and would love to read), but I don't much care for noncon, especially in this fandom.

Still glad people are archiving their fic on AO3, though!

I have a feeling that Asian fandoms are heavy on the non-con, so there is no way around that, I'm afraid. I hate it, too.

I think it has to do with gender stereotypes, like non-con was the 1960s excuse for women being shown to have sex at all, and I think this applies here, too.

The thing that bothers me most is how those gender stereotypes are mapped onto slash as well - like "the taller person has to top", "the bottom has to hurt"... aargh. None of this is my thing, and finding good, consensual fic with the partners on relatively equal footing is like the needle in the haystack.

"the taller person has to top", "the bottom has to hurt"...

Ugh, yeah, really not my thing. :(
