How Do I Do This LJ Thing

I posted my Guardian fic! As you probably saw, since I linked it here on my DW, too.

I don't know what the policy is anymore in DW based fandoms. Do I crosspost it to comms? I don't see people posting fic to comms that much, so I'm not sure that's a thing that's still done. I'm also only following sid_guardian and brush_and_lantern ... I haven't had a chance yet to go and see if there's others I should follow.

As of now, I don't have any comments yet :sob:. Waiting for the first comment is always such torture. I will say that the first chapter is a little hard to comment on--it's mostly just Zhao Yunlan being extremely sad, without much happening. I also expect that a lot of people in this fandom will want to wait until I've posted the entire thing before they start reading.

Oh well. I'll keep waiting for that first comment. It'll have to come eventually!

Does Guardian fandom have a Discord?

I stopped looking at the central comms after the kerfuffle, but afaik there are only the two comms you mentioned. People do post links to their fics in sid_guardian. I don't know the rules for brush-and-lantern.

Guardian has two discords, yes! One that glymr set up for the weekly watchalongs, which is awesome and only has a few dozen people.

The invite and schedules are here:

https://glymr.dreamwidth.org/296048.html

It'd be very cool to see you there sometime! I usually am present for the first wave of the watchalongs every Friday.



The "original" Guardian discord is here:

https://discord.gg/bMdK5DF

It has a few hundred members and everything you could wish for in terms of Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu's works.

I don't interact on that server, but I have lots of private conversations going on on discord at all times, I like it as a platform.

Feel free to friend me on discord, you'll be able to figure out the username. :)

There are two more Guardian-centric comms I recommend joining as well!

merit-brush-recs.dreamwidth.org/ is a rec-only comm, and
sundial-exchange.dreamwidth.org/ is a comm that was originally created for an exchange that took place in January 2020, but may host other events in the future. Neither have a lot of traffic, and I recommend subscribing to both!

There are also two DW-based friending memes for Guardian fans:
this one" and this one.

There are some other great sites around, including this truly excellent primer, a link to the fansubbed and HD raw versions and many other resources, such as a collection of high quality screencaps of all the episodes. Let me know if you're looking for anything in particular!
