The Great Gundam Wing Rewatch!

[nanslice]

The Great Gundam Wing Rewatch will begin on Saturday, May 30th! We'll watch two episodes a week, and then each Saturday a discussion/meta/fangirling/general squeeing post will be made. This gives everyone plenty of time to find a place to watch (and actually find the time to watch). Here's the entire series on Youtube! Feel free to watch either the sub or the dub; as far as I can remember, the dub doesn't change much in terms of storyline or characterization.

I'm sure we all know basic fandom etiquette but I'm adding rules anyway. No character or ship bashing. Feel free to get as hyped as you want about your favorite characters and ships (I KNOW I WILL BE) but character/ship hate will not be tolerated. Affectionate exasperation/teasing/name-calling is okay.

Also, please no spoilers for future episodes unless you use either the Rot13 scrambler or white out text. I'm pretty sure most of us have seen this before but if any newbies join in, I want them to be able to go in as spoiler free as possible.

So! To break it down: two episodes a week! A discussion post each Saturday (posted here because I don't imagine this being too popular!) and the first one will be posted on May 30th. You don't have to subscribe to my journal to participate; everyone is welcome! No character bashing.

I (nanslice) am the mod/organizer/whatever of this little shindig. If you have any questions/comments/inquiries, feel free to comment, pm, or email me at nantimes at gmail dot com. :3

Also, if this inspires any fanwork, definitely share with us if you're comfortable doing so!

/seal-claps tbh because I've been deep into reading/re-reading GW fanfic, but somehow never get around to rewatching the actual series. This sounds like a great way to do it though!

Oh man, do you have any recs? Is this fandom still a thing? I'm kind of hoping this will lead to a teeny fandom revival to be honest. XD;;

Surprisingly many GW specific fic archives are still hosted, though not updated (http://gwaddiction.com/index.html is probably the largest). But actually more authors are starting to archive at AO3 so in the past month I've been chewing through all of tb_ll57's post-series long-fic. Most of it is about Preventers/military in some way, but that's how I like it tbh.

Haha, oh man, I was just on gwaddiction.com, trying to remember which authors I liked. XD I quite like Preventers fic as long as shipping is involved in some kind of way, so I'll definitely check out that author. Thanks!
