Rectober is coming....
Sep. 29th, 2014 01:50 pm
Please join us for a month of recs!
Rectober aims to celebrate reccing, reading, enjoying, commenting, sharing and discussion about fic, art and other fanworks during the month of October.
Why not take part in Rectober by pledging to make a certain number of rec posts during October? We also hope you'll encourage other reccers by commenting on their posts. ♥
All fandoms, pairings, genres and ratings are welcome! Bring on the recs!
NEW - CLICK HERE FOR LIST OF PARTICIPANTS!
Feel free to poke about at their journals and look for recs. Hopefully there'll be a rectober tag to assist you!
How to rec:
This is totally up to you - you can rec however you like. But if you're not sure how to get started, here is a reccing template, with the usual type of info. These are suggestions only. Some people like to write a lot, and include excerpts, but a simple link to the fic with a sentence or two about why you enjoyed it can be just as useful.
You can rec on your own journal, or at reccing communities, or cross post to both.
You can rec fic, art, podfics, fanvids, meta posts, or any other fanworks.
If you post to your own journal, if possible please leave the post unflocked so that it's available to everyone. We'll have an ongoing list of contributors, so If you use a Rectober tag when you're reccing, it makes it easy for people browse those journals and track down rec posts.
If you don't want to write recs yourself:
You can still take part in Rectober by reading and commenting. It's great to let a reccer know if you enjoyed reading a fic they recced, or even if you haven't read the fic yet but just like the sound of it from their post.
Also, if you enjoy a fic that's been recced to you, you can let the writer know in a comment that you came to it via a rec. Often people feel like nobody reads their recs! I have heard this many times, and it sometimes puts people off writing rec posts.
Banners:
Please grab a banner and promote Rectober - the banners link back to this post. You can use them to spread the word and to beautify your rec posts :DD

Date: 2014-09-29 06:14 pm (UTC)I'm going to try 2-3 rec posts a week. I'm planning it like this: one for H/D, one for other pairings, one for other fandoms. Hope it'll work out. :)

Date: 2014-09-29 07:57 pm (UTC)My goal is at least 4 rec posts in October, with at least 2 recs/post. Going to try to keep up with Career Fair and take Rectober as an incentive to plow through my massive reading list.
Excited to play, and very excited for all of these other brilliant people's recs!

Date: 2014-09-29 08:07 pm (UTC)My goal is to do AT LEAST one rec post per week (hopefully two or even three) with AT LEAST one story or piece of art per post (hopefully more like two or three). So anywhere between one work per week and nine. Ten is right out! ;-) :-)
