Welcome to June . . .
. . . and the first theme month here at theflophouse! Thanks to everyone who filled out the poll, and for everyone who didn't, we'll probably do another theme in a couple months, so there'll be voting on that then. :) Anyway, with no more ado:
School's Out : A Month of Vacation Fics at the Flophouse
It's the start of summer, and I can't think of a more fitting way to ring it in than with a slew of fics about kicking back, letting go, and getting away from it all. So rec your favorite fics about road trips, shore leave, summer vacation, spring break, Easter hols, Christmas on the Continent, a weekend in the Hamptons-- if it involves vacation, getaways or otherwise leaving behind the grind of daily life, it's in.
The template is still the same, but use the "theme: vacation" tag when you post, and at the end of the month we'll have a master list of everything that gets recced. Regular recs are still allowed throughout the month, of course; just don't put the theme tag on unless it applies. :)
A note, also; igrockspock noted the verbosity of reviews here is a little intimidating, which I totally understand. I blather, I can't help it. XD But please don't hold off reccing something because you only want to write a sentence or two about why you liked it. Any review is a good review, no matter how long. The comm is here for us to air our loves, and I'm dying to see recs from more of you. :"D The format is just to make it consistent, not to make you guys feel boxed in. And in the same vein, if there's something I or the comm could be doing different to enable or encourage more of you to post more often, drop me a comment.
love you guys and looking forward to your vacation recs. ♥!
