Looking for suggestions
Hey folks,
I've been thinking about where this community is heading -- after all, there are only a limited number of epic stories out there, and they can't all be winners. Ideally, I'd like us to continue to focus on longer stories, but I'm also hoping that the Reader's Recs portion of the community will get more significant, opening the community up to more fandoms and a greater variety of reccers (and, eventually, to adding more full-time reccers other than myself). For that to work, however, we need to have more readers (aka potential reccers), because the current response to reader's recs is pretty low.
Which leads to the question: how does one pimp a community? I'm not sure how most of ya'll found Epic Recs (though I'd be very interested to learn, if you're interested in sharing), but membership seems to have leveled off. As we have quite a few recs available in a number of fandoms, now seems to be an ideal time for a membership push. To that end, I'm open to any and all suggestions on how to get the word out on Epic Recs. If you've got any ideas, now is the time to put them out there:)
Thanks!
Jane
