Reminder for November's Rec Post!

[osco-blue-fairy.livejournal.com]

Hello, hello lovelies!

I just wanted to post a quick reminder to everyone to keep in mind that this coming Sunday, November 20th, is going to be the start of our 2nd monthly USUK rec post here!

The participation on the first rec post was amazing and I know we can do just as good, or even better, on this second one!  There will be an HTML reference guide on the next rec post for those who asked for it, that way those who wanted to participate but couldn't will be able to now.  Don't worry, I didn't forget you guys, I promise! 

So, start sifting through your favs and get ready for November 20th!  Let's all have a blast!

I don't mean to be a bother, but I was wondering: when the rec post happens, are we allowed to comment to request specific types of recommendations?

Questions are never a bother, love. ;)

I think that requesting recs would be acceptable, as long as they don't get out of hand. What I would recommend doing is that if you'd like to request a certain rec in specific (ie you're in the mood for a fluffy USUK bedtime fic or something), put the words "Request" in the subject line of your comment. As long as requests are kept to a minimum (as I would like to keep the rec post focused on recs themselves) this shouldn't be a problem at all.

I would ask though that if you do request something specific, try to make sure you still rec something yourself, that way the rec & request will balance each other out.

Great question!

I have a suggestion for the recs!

Could we perhaps categorize the recs? Like you can put in the comments something like: "RECOMMEND FAVORITE SAD FICS HERE" or "FAVORITE Marriage Fics here" or "FAVORITE MPREG HERE"...etc

Just trying to keep things organize...

I think this is a good idea to keep in mind if the post starts getting bigger. My one worry with this is that double recs will happen more frequently because people will post fics on different threads. If the post starts to get too large though, we can see if other participants would be in favor of this idea too!

Great suggestion love!
