Rec Post!!! Rec Post!!! Rec Post!!! Rec Post!!! Rec Post!!! Rec Post!!!
Greetings to participants, readers, and viewers. Welcome to rs_games! One of our goals is to share the love of our ship and the fantastic works people have created with as many people as possible. One way to do this is to recommend things everywhere, including your own journal and on the daily_snitch.
For those who are unaware, the daily_snitch is a wonderful website that compiles HP works to share with others. They have something called "Hot Recs" which features any work - even anonymous ones - that have at least three recommendations, from three different people, on three different sites. Our goal is to gather as many Hot Recs as possible and point as many people in the direction of the Games as we possibly can.
Here are their rules for "Hot Recs":
New (published within 21 days of submission, or within 45 days of submission for rare pairings and gen) fics or works of art that have been recced at least 3 times in public (not friends-locked and/or filtered) posts (not comments) around LiveJournal, InsaneJournal, or Dreamwidth can be included as a hot rec in the daily_snitch. Mentions in any fandom newsletter or links to stories/artworks without an explanation why they're being recommended do not count as recs. The daily_snitch will link to stories hosted anywhere as long as the recs submitted with the story are posted at LiveJournal, InsaneJournal, or Dreamwidth. Recs posted elsewhere (social networking sites, archives, personal blogs) will not be considered.
Adult-rated fan art must be accompanied by headers stating that the characters depicted are over 18, and such a claim must seem valid to an objective person. Adult-rated fan fiction with headers stating that underage characters are involved will not be included, either.
Submissions should include title, author/artist, possible pairings (full names of characters) and the rating. Works in progress will be recced more than once if there have been at least 5 new chapters since the last mention in the Daily Snitch. When sending recs, please include at least three links where the story has been recced.
Each day, comments will appear on this post containing the titles of the day's works. If you rec a story, please respond to that comment with a link to your rec. We would also really appreciate it, if you put the title of the work in the subject line of the comment. When we collect three recs for a single work, we will send it into the daily_snitch to become a hot rec.
Thank you!
