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": (Tumblr recs now count!!!)
All fics or works of art that have been recced at least 2 times in public (not friends-locked and/or filtered) posts (not comments) on all fannish websites or social media can be included as a Hot Rec in the daily_snitch . For the pairings most popular for Hot Recs - Harry/Draco, Harry/Severus and Remus/Sirius - three recs are required. This is a test. We'll go with this policy for the next six months, then we'll re-evaluate to see whether we get a broader pairing variety of Hot Recs this way or not.
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.
NEW The daily_snitch now allows recs from all fannish websites or social media platforms to count towards a Hot Rec or Hot Art. The reccer needs to state, in their own words, why they rec the fic or art. Just a "I rec this" is not enough.
Please send your submissions for Hot Recs to dailysnitch@gmail.com. They should include title, author/artist, possible pairings (full names of characters), the rating and the summary. 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 two (or three) links to posts where the story has been recced.
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. 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!
