Admin: sneaky, low-key relaunch
Hi, everybody! Did you miss us?
We've been doing some plotting and planning behind the scenes to get ds_recsredux up and reccing again -- tossing thoughts around, informally polling due South chat participants, checking out the recs comms for other fandoms... we think we have some good ideas that we'll be rolling out in the coming months.
But none of these ideas will work without you.
This is your comm. It's for you. Use it as much as you want, whenever you want, to rec what you want. If you just read something amazing everyone else should see, Instarec it here. If a story left you so stunned all you could say was "Awesomesauce story!" please come say it here -- we don't have a minimum word count, and other fans will want to read that awesomesauce story. If you watched a vid, heard a podfic, saw a picspam or artwork and think others would get a kick out of it, tell us here. Fandom wants to know, regardless of whether it fits the current challenge.
And please tell us what you like and what you'd like to see changed.
One change that had already been suggested was to lift the recs per post limit. So we have. If a challenge is particularly relevant to your interests and you just can't pick amongst your favorite fanworks, we won't make you. Rec to your heart's content!
DS Recsredux: All Recs. No Limits.
Since we're coming off of Halloween and into fanwork exchange season, the challenge for the month of November is holidays. Winter or summer, major or obscure -- rec us your favorite stories, vids and other fanworks featuring the characters celebrating (or avoiding) a holiday. And if someone wants to rec spooky/ghost stories that aren't strictly Halloween tales, I won't tell. Or if someone interprets 'holiday' to mean 'vacation' and starts talking road trips. The more recs, the merrier!
Finally, we really want to bring back the guest reccers! We'd like to enlist two reccers per month, each posting once per week to a theme of their own choosing. Guest reccing is your chance to talk about favorite fanworks and favorite canon moments, due South proper and the six degrees fandoms. If you're interested -- or even think you might be interested but want to discuss it before committing to a month, please comment here or contact your friendly neighborhood mods (ifreet or dessert_first) directly.
