Welcome to SID Guardian!

[trobadora]

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.

Hi, I'm ride_4ver, inexperienced in any Asian dramas and here due to the Guardian pimpage of glymr and amedia.

I signed up a few moments ago for the read-along that starts this month, thinking that it was all going to be posted online, and then I realized that only excerpts are going to be posted. No way I'm going to be able to get my hands on a hard-copy version of the novel by the start of the read-along. *sigh*

Oh, that's a shame! It's available in ebook, if you do those? Or you could try your library? (My local library has it.)

Anyway, lovely to see you here! Haaaai! <3

[ride_4ever]

Yep, I was just now telling trobadora that I'm not equipped for ebooks and I'm gonna check my local public library for the hard-copy.

*showers you with lollypops*

[china_shop]

Fingers crossed your library can provide! <3

Have you watched the drama? :D

[ride_4ever]

I have seen only vids and random episodes -- have not seen episodes from beginning to end in chronological order.

*nodnod* So you're spoiled, but not completely comprehensively. *g*

[ride_4ever]

I'm not an all-purpose spoilerphobe -- I just don't want to be spoiled for high-angst moments and for series endings. (It's was the worst when a due South vid spoiled me for "Victoria's Secret".)

[china_shop]

(Oof, yeah. Fanvids are such a risk...)

Hi, welcome aboard! :D

Maybe you can get your hands on the ebook version? If not, no worries, we'll be at this readalong for a while, and you can always join in later once you get the novel. Old posts are always open and welcoming new comments, too! ♥

[ride_4ever]

Thank you kindly for the quick response and the welcome. I don't have the equipment for doing ebooks. I'm going to try to get the novel through my public library, but it won't be fast enough to start reading with everyone else here (but from what you say, it doesn't sound like a later start will be a problem).
