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.

Hi - belatedly commenting because belated to the comm; all the introductions were a lot of fun to read, and I'm glad there's a noticeboard like this on Dreamwidth! I'm one of the people solo got into the show, and she pointed me here too.

solo showed me the first three episodes in August, and I was intrigued, but then we moved house and went on a long vacation and it took me a little while to pick the show back up. Then episode 6 happened, specifically the mugging scene at the end and its continuation in episode 7, and... doom. :-) (So many layers in that scene! So much happening in the silences! Sudden intimacy over ongoing prickliness!)

I remember very little about October/November except "I went to work and then I went home and watched Guardian". That last weekend when we mainlined first Chu's dream arc and then the final arc was... a trip. Guardian was the first cdrama I ever watched (though then it didn't stay the only one) and I don't speak any Chinese, so that added to the whole "going down the rabbit hole in a rollercoaster" sensation.

I've read parts of the novel translation and I'm intrigued by the second strand of canon, but it also feels a little strange to see the differences and contrasts to the show. I'm only just starting to discover the fic that exists for the show.

I've been in fandom since the mid-1990s but I spent about the last 10 years basically mono-fannish (in Jpop/KAT-TUN/Akame fandom), so now I feel quite wobbly venturing into a new and active fandom and doing such things as... joining comms and introducing myself and trying to find out where the coffee machine is. *g* But it's also very exciting!

Hi, welcome aboard! Glad you found us. Have a coffee. :D

Haha, I know, right? It really is irresistible. I mean, I was totally hooked after the first five episodes, but then I binge-watched the whole thing. I just couldn't stop!

Same here! A lot of us seem to be having this experience. It's not something I'd ever have expected to do, but it's all turned out an absolute delight.
