Let's go back to the start.
Hi everybody,
How are you doing on this fine day? Are you still bursting with warm fuzzy feelings of the most delicious kind after the phenomenal love fest from yesterday? I know I am.
To everybody who helped spread their love and appreciation for our dearest writers I say THANK YOU! THE SHIPPER NATION ROCKS!!!!!!
To those who missed the party, don't worry. It is still going strong and there is always time to send your love. I know I myself haven't been able to send notes to everybody I love and there are still writers who we haven't even mentioned yet.
But, today is another day, so...
Yesterday we celebrated the creators amongst us. Today, we could dedicate a little time to focus on their creations a bit. Yes, that's right. I'm talking about fic rec time.
Back in 2009, when this communtity began, it was a rewatch comm. Since, then, it has become much more than that but we started 2012 going back to our origins, so to speak, and the rewatches are on again. As I understand, back then, after (and sometimes before) every rewatch or so there would be a post with recs for fics that were somehow related to the episodes being rewatched. I only found this community the following year and having just finished watching the series for the first time I was avidly looking for stories to fill the void left by its end. I found lots of things, of course. Most of them weren't really worth reading, though. Until google directed to the fic recs pages here, that is. That opened a whole new world for me and I'll be forever thankful to this community for that.
Somewhere along the way, we stopped with those posts. I believed the last one focused on Razor. Anyway, since we are rewatching again and there are so many new people around, why not revive that tradition, as well. I know it helped me a lot when I was a newbie.
So, while we rest from all the excitment from yesterday, why don't you dust off those old bookmarks and share your favorite episode/ arc recs? There is plenty of new stuff out there that can be added to those old lists. I'll start a comment for every season and (later today) links to the previous recs pages and people can add episodes or arcs to the thread (along with their recs, of course).
Once again, hope you all have a great day.
