Recommendations Week, coming soon to a community near you!
Recommendations Week is kicking off Monday November 3rd. It will be 7 days of fan fiction, vids and fan art recommendations in the following categories:
gen
slash
het
Polyamorous (Het and Slash/F&M Threesomes)
One of a Kind
Crossovers
Vids/Fan Art
Yes, that's right! It's now only a week and not a fortnight! Why's that, I hear you cry? Because the final week of recommendations fortnight statistically gets less attention than the first, and I am a lazy mod as well as a benevolent one.
What will happen is this: every day, I will post the day's category. You then comment with links to up to five pieces you want to recommend, with rating, pairing and warning information and a sentence to paragraph of why you recommend each fic, artwork or vid. That's 5 pieces per category, per recommending person. You can rec less than 5. I will edit the theme post to include all of the details (GOD IS IN THE DETAILS, after all) and recommendation comments made.
We then all go enjoy what's recommended and give feedback to the authors/vidders/artists.
There is nothing wrong with reccing something that someone else has recced within the week, either in the same category, or a different one. If it's the same category, I'll simply add all of the comments together, i.e; genescortina says; bubblestheclown says;... and so on and so forth. However, please check through the previous Recommendations Fortnights to ensure that the fic you want to rec hasn't been recced in this fest before. Basically; all new non-recced fic all the time, thanks.
I suggest you start thinking carefully and compiling your links and comments.
