Thumbs up for me! And I'd much rather have/make recs in posts. Buried in comments, I think most will be missed.
I'd love some themes that dig into the past. Fandom is so focused on what's hot this week that terrific stories and writers disappear. So themes like first story you loved, oldest story you still reread, forgotten writer you rec to everyone, flashback to 1990s, etc.
Let's not delegate gen to just one day.
How about best drabble, or fic that cheers you up, fic that makes you cry. Best character development. Best fix to canon. Most poetic. Most impressive/intellectual. Sexiest, of course. Fic you once hated and now love. Flying colors on the Bechdel test. Best story for kids.
