NEW: an ongoing masterlist of recs by meglw0228! Thank you so much!

PARTICIPANTS: Please add your name in the comments if I've missed you. It would be great if you could tag your posts "rectober" to aid people navigating around. Thank you!

I'm in!

[birdsofshore]

Lovely! I've added you :D

[gamma-x-orionis.livejournal.com]

I'm participating too :)

[birdsofshore]

Yay! You're on the list now.

[arjd.livejournal.com]

I will be participating too! Awesome idea :)

[birdsofshore]

Wonderful! Thank you for joining in!

[raitala.livejournal.com]

I'm going to participate too :D

[birdsofshore]

\o/ Hoorah!

[0idontknow0]

I'm in!
Not sure how much I'll get done but I'm in!

[birdsofshore]

Yay! Thanks! Even one or two recs would be great!

[sdkshelly.livejournal.com]

I'm in! But because my journal is all locked up, I'll be posting them publicly to likebangbang.

Thanks for organizing this!

[birdsofshore]

Brilliant, I've added your reccing journal to the list. Thank you!

[sassy_cat]

Found this via my f-list and I love the idea. I'd love to take part!

[birdsofshore]

Super. I've added your name. And OK to add you as a friend?

[hollys_tree]

Me! :D

[birdsofshore]

Thank you! Wonderful!

[sara-lakali.livejournal.com]

I'm participating. I'm assuming I can rec fic in other fandoms besides Harry Potter.

[birdsofshore]

Yes, definitely. Let me know which fandoms mainly, please, and I will add that info to the list, it might be useful?

Thank you for joining in!

[icmezzo.livejournal.com]

I love this idea and I'd love to play but I'm in over my head and also traveling this month. Then again, if our government remains shuttered for long, I may have more time than I expect. Can I aim to sprinkle a few throughout the month but not commit to a number/schedule at the moment? Or is that too loose goose for you?

[birdsofshore]

No, there's no right or wrong with this one - even aiming for one rec during the month is fine!

I hope you're less busy this month than you fear.

[merlin-hot-mod.livejournal.com]

Hello!

You can add merlin_hotrecs to the list of comms open for member recs. The comm is open to any pairing in the Merlin fandom (including RPF). Our only requirement is that the fic must have been published in the last 6 months (details (http://merlin-hotrecs.livejournal.com/26017.html)).

We love this idea and boosted the signal here (http://merlin-hotrecs.livejournal.com/64144.html).

[birdsofshore]

Brilliant! Thank you for that. I'll add it on now.

[ashindk.livejournal.com]

I'm in too

[birdsofshore]

Course you are, sorry!

This thing is kind of getting bigger than I expected :S

[sally_maria (from livejournal.com)]

Hi! I saw the link to your project at merlin_hotrecs and think it's a great idea.

I'm going to be posting my recs on my Dreamwidth journal. http://sally-maria.dreamwidth.org/tag/rectober They'll all be unlocked so you don't need to be a Dreamwidth user to read them.

[birdsofshore]

Brilliant! Thank you. I'll add your link to the list.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Meeeee!

[birdsofshore]

Yay! I've added you!

[nathalieweasley.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I'm going to rec yet (time constraints are obnoxious so I might just do what I can, with tags of course :P) but I was wondering if you were planning on mkaing a masterlist of recs?

[birdsofshore]

I absolutely was going to make a masterlist, until I read that some crazy amazing people are planning on doing 5 recs a day. And have you seen the length of the participant list lately? O_o

I am really glad people like the idea so much, but I've given up on maintaining any sort of order here. As far as I am concerned I have now released Rectober into the wild and it can run free :DD

I'm feeling hopeful and adding you to the list. You only have to do one rec to participate, so I reckon you will manage that at some point during the month.

[meglw0228.livejournal.com]

This is an awesome idea, and I just had to try, so I'm also in!

[birdsofshore]

\o/ I've added you to the list! Thanks for joining in.

[hamimifk.livejournal.com]

I'm in. I'll be doing more than just HP though. Homestuck, Legend of Korra, Adventure Time, and Welcome to Night Vale are the other series I'll be reccing from.

[birdsofshore]

That's fabulous. I don't know how you multi-fandomers find time to eat or sleep, really. Thanks for participating!

[mayexist.livejournal.com]

I'm somewhat late to the party, but I'd like to participate.

[birdsofshore]

I'm adding you now! you're not late at all. November, now that would be late :DD

[lokifan]

I'm going to do Rectober - I'll use it to motivate myself to do a weekly recs post for all of October. (Ie forty recs.) Great idea!

[birdsofshore]

I'm so happy people like the plan. It's exciting to see all the recs spilling out all over my flist :D

[kedavranox.livejournal.com]

I can do it. I was just confused and didn't know how..and didn't want to ask a question. ......I think I get it now. :)

[birdsofshore]

Aw, I am not too scary to ask questions, I hope?

Adding you now <3

[pavlablack.livejournal.com]

I'm in as well--just posted my recs from the R/S Games and used one of the lovely banners. Thanks!

[birdsofshore]

Wonderful - thank you!

[verdande-mi.livejournal.com]

Hello I’m verdande_mi and I decided to join this endeavour. I’ve made two rec-posts so far and have another two planned for later this month.

[birdsofshore]

That's great! Thank you for contributing your recs.

[xonceinadream]

You've inspired me! I'm going to start a weekly rec post but I'm going to start with rectober. Writing up my first post now! :)

[birdsofshore]

That's great news! Happy Rectober :D

[indyonblue.livejournal.com]

I'm in!

[birdsofshore]

Yay! I've added you!

[gracerene]

I'm in! My journal is basically just recs pages anyways, and I have been updating this fandom and Teen Wolf.

[birdsofshore]

Lovely, thank you!
