SIX and RECS
(OK, it doesn't rhyme. Sorry.)
We're now at SIX hours until the collection opens!
Countdown
Recs
Since we're nearly ready to read, it's time to talk about recs! It's traditional to kudos or comment on works and tell their anonymous creators that you liked them. It's also traditional to tell other people about the Yuletide stuff you like. There are many different ways to share your recommendations for works.
On AO3 itself
You can bookmark a story and save the bookmark and its notes to the Yuletide Recs collection. (Detailed tutorials here and here.)
In Discord
At the Yuletide Discord, you can post recs with very brief comments in the #yuletide-recs channel.
At Dreamwidth and LiveJournal
You are welcome to post recs to the Dreamwidth Yuletide community or the LiveJournal Yuletide community. If posting to either of those communities, please follow these guidelines:
There will be a catch-all recs post on LJ and on DW, going up shortly. This will serve: as an index of recs; to allow people who don't have accounts to rec in the DW comments; and to collect together themed recs or allow people to ask for recs that follow a theme.
Away from the main Yuletide communities, there is also yuletide-recs on LiveJournal.
Further suggestions welcome! Let your enthusiasm ring out.

At Dreamwidth and LiveJournal
You are welcome to post recs to the Dreamwidth Yuletide community or the LiveJournal Yuletide community. If posting to either of those communities, please follow these guidelines:
- Any individual post to the community must contain recs for at least 3 separate works.
- You can put the full text of your recs post in a post to the community, OR you can post your recs on some other platform (tag: yuletide-recs (?)), then put the link in a post on the community or in a comment to the index post.
- If your post is long, consider cut text code ( LJ, DW).
