Welcome to SID Guardian!

A banner for the SID_Guardian comm on Dreamwidth


Hi, and welcome to SID Guardian!

[community profile] 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.

Hi and welcome! *waves*

Another introvert, here, though I manage to be reasonably non-lurkery on Dreamwidth. It's easier once you get started, I think? (Not that there's anything wrong with lurking! But as you say, reaching out does help with meeting people.) Anyway, so glad you found the comm! Hi! :-)

I watched the show and read the novel in the fantranslation at the same time and that was an experience.

Haha, yeah, I can only imagine. I've been in the fandom for four years, and I still haven't read the novel. /o\ I keep hearing things that make me think it's probably not for me -- whereas I adore pretty much everything about the show. (But this comm is for both canons, of course!)

I can't decide between Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan as favorite character; they're a total package deal for me.

I love this approach! Equal opportunity fannishness FTW! (I started out all-in for Zhao Yunlan but quickly came to appreciate and love Shen Wei, too. :-)

Anyway, like [personal profile] trobadora said, please make yourself at home! Feel free to jump into any of the discussions (they're never closed) and link to Guardian-and-related-fandoms-related stuff at will. ♥

Hi! Yes, being an introvert and wanting to meet new people is a problem. Sadly.

I read the book because I was curious about the changes but I have to admit that I prefert the drama for a variety of reasons. (The book had some things that were too over the top for me.) Also, I'm pretty sure I've already forgotten most of the details because, well, the visuals overwrote everything in my memory. Such nice visuals... ;)

I'm going to take my time to go through the posts. I'm looking forward to find some new reading material as well! (And hopefully get in the mood to write for Weilan again.)

Thank you for the nice welcome. <3
