Signal boost!
Calling all Whovians, Wholigans, and other fans of Doctor Who! ;-) calufrax, the Doctor Who rec-a-day(-ish) comm on LiveJournal (affiliated with the A Teaspoon and an Open Mind archive), is running out of reccers!
I mean it. They're so short on signed-up reccers that the mod's decided to take the comm to an every-other-week status, just to postpone the day when there is NOBODY LEFT. This is a horrible fate for a rec-a-day comm, so I am asking y'all to do two things. Please.
1: Even if you can't sign up to rec, for whatever reason - if you like reading Who fic, or if you have Doctor Who fans on your flist, please signal-boost this call for help all you can! You never know who (I amuse myself) will respond.
2: If you possibly can, sign up to rec for a week. It doesn't take much effort:
(That last item isn't required, but everyone does it anyway. *g*)

2: If you possibly can, sign up to rec for a week. It doesn't take much effort:
- Go read fic on Teaspoon. Find awesome fics.
- Check the author tags on Calufrax. Identify four to seven of your awesome fics that have not yet been recced.
- Make a list. (It is preferred that you mix up story types, Doctors, companions, or shows a bit - so as not to have seven Ten/Rose fics in a row or such.)
- Join Calufrax. (This is so you can see the sign-up post.) You'll need an LJ account, but I know a lot of people double and just split their reading lists, so I'm posting to both sites.
- Go to the sign-up post, linked at the upper right corner of the comm's front page, and comment saying you'd like to sign up to rec.
- The mod will answer and tell you what week you will rec. If you can't rec that week, you can change it.
- Write up posts about "Why This Fic Is Awesome" for each of your fics.
- When your reccing week comes, post your posts! One per day if you chose seven fics, one every other day if you only picked four, or something in between.
- Obsessively stalk the review counts on the stories you recced to see how many people commented as a result of your rec.
