Just wondering...

[birdsofshore]

... are we doing Rectober again this year?

I am just trying to ~PLAN~ and ~PLOT~ and ~ORGANISE MY TIME~ and, OK, if I am honest, procrastinate because I am meant to be editing, LOL. But it was a lot of fun last year, and I notice that hd_fan_fair, hp_silencio, samhain_smut, hp_creatures and hp_laughs (and probably other things I missed) are all posting around then, so there should be lots to keep our reccing fingers busy with... what do you think?

If you have no idea what Rectober is, the idea is to have a month celebrating recs for fanworks. Participants pledge to post recs, as frequently as they feel they want to, or to support the fest by reading from recs and leaving comments, or commenting on rec posts to let the person know you enjoyed their recs, or any other way you want to join in.

NO, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RECTUMS.**  It's a portmanteau word for Rec and October, OK? It's not my fault it came out that way.

Anyway! Please click and tick and comment and let me know what you think. Last year people pledged anything from daily rec posts, to one post during the month, so the commitment could be as big or small as you choose.

Rectober will always be multi-fandom, any pairing, any genre, whatever you like.

 OH MY GOSH, I TRIED TO ADD A SECOND POLL AND IT DID NOT WORK AND IT ALSO DELETED THE FIRST POLL! *cries*
It's late here. Perhaps I'll try again in the morning :((( You can comment if you think Rectober is a good idea for 2014.

**OK THEN, it has, a little bit. Because of bumming. But you can rec het things as well! And blow jobs. And gen. And wanking. But yeah, bumming. It's a fair cop.

I'd love to commit - but I seriously blow at reccing. I have such vanilla tastes, but I'm always thrilled to peruse recs and have found some great stuff because of them. *grins*

Plus I'm hoping I'll be quite busy with modding things *proofing all the great fic that comes in early* for hd_erised lolol ♥

I need to be able to select multiple options! Because for that second question I would do ALL OF THE THINGS (except writing and banner making, because you really don't want me doing that...)

I never heard of HP Laughs. Interesting!

[sdkshelly.livejournal.com]

This poll needs ticky boxes! :D I remember last year I didn't rec as much as I wanted to. Hopefully this year I will be able to do more, if I am not panicking on the writing front, which does happen frequently during holiday fest writing season time, lol. STILL. Yes you should do it again! \o/

October, you say? Also known as the month of doom, where I have to submit a rough draft of my Harry Bang fic?
Yes. I'll rec things. I'll need *something* to do while procrastinating.

Hahaha. I was going to suggest we do RECcember this year. :D

You know I'm in. I want to do all the things!!!

Seriously, REccember. oh! Wait, we could have a Rectober and then a Commencember! Like, yeah! It'll be super! Comment-through-december! Commencember! Yeah, Yeah? Ain't that cool? LOL

Rectum. Naughty, naughty Birds. LOL.

Reccing. Of course I would do. I'm doing it all the time with books here, books and fics on my blogs. No problem to switch to fics for some weeks.

May I ask what reading from recs is? Literally like mab with her gorgeous podfics or like quoting form fics? Or is it something else? Sorry, I'm still trying to adjust to all the fandom slang (Do you know how many abbreviations I've never heard before are flying around here?).

And I would comment too. I'm trying to comment on everything I just finished now. Why should I change that during October?

It will be a nice distraction from all the nervous breakdowns I'll probably get over my hd_erised story.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RECTUMS.

LOL! Oh, you ♥♥♥

YES, of course YES :D

I need Rectober! There is so much I want to read and rec, but I am not good at self-accountability. A public pledge would help!

[lumosed-quill.livejournal.com]

Girls have bums, too! Rectumtober is great for slash, het, femslash, for one and ALL! \o/

And yes, I'd love to participate! I could probably wrangle together a rec-a-week, I'm guessing. :-)

Well, I don't see any poll, but I would rec, read recs and comment! No idea how many. It always depends on what is looking good to me and how much time I have to devote, but I think it's a great idea.

[lokifan]

YES DEFINITELY LET'S DO THIS THING

Every week I'm like "remember when you used to post weekly recs, self?" I need a kick up the arse, basically.

WHERE'S THE NEW POLL, BIRDS?!

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

I hope we can do this again :)))))

[nenne.livejournal.com]

I might just do that. Rec that is.
