Hey, folks! Welcome to RECTEMBER, a reccing event with suggested reccing prompts! Thanks for everyone who commented on the feedback post. Thanks to your input, we’ve decided to have WEEKLY prompts. I’m going to go ahead and list them all below, but I’ll also make a weekly post to remind you of the week’s themes.

How this works:
- I post the weekly themes (three per week).
- You post recs to the comm by clicking "Post" above and selecting recthething in the "Post to" drop down menu, or by following this link. (Note: you will need to join the comm if you haven't yet.) You can post recs for one or more of the themes each week, in one or more posts to the comm. Tag the posts with fandoms as appropriate.

That’s it! That’s all there is to it. Here are our first week's themes. Posting for Week One is now open! (Let's be real, posting is always open.)

WEEK ONE THEMES
- Vids
- Works you've enjoyed many times
- Works about rarepairs

( Rest of schedule behind cut! )

FAQ:
What if I only have one rec for the theme? Is it okay to post just one rec?
Absolutely! Our whole philosophy here is The More The Merrier. You can rec just one work, or you can post a list of lots of recs.

Can I rec more than one work per theme?
Yes, please post as many as you want! If you have several for a theme, it's a good idea to put them together in one post.

Can I put all my recs for the week in one post?
Yes! You can make a post per theme, or you can put them all together, or anything in between. I don't know if you've noticed, but we're extremely chill around here about this kind of thing. :D

Do the works I rec have to fit all the themes?
Nope! You can rec that way if you want, but any work that fits any of the weekly themes counts for Rectember.

What if I have recs that don't fit any of the themes? Can I still post those in September?
Yes please!! See above re: The More The Merrier. Rectember is just meant to add a little inspiration for those that want it, but it's completely optional. As always, feel free to rec anything that fits the comm guideliness at any time.

Will we still have Community Recs Posts in September?
Yep, we'll still have a community recs post every Thursday for your regular catch-all reccing needs.

Questions? Please ask them below!

Hey, folks! I've been thinking about doing an event in September to encourage reccing and maybe even draw some people out of the woodwork who haven't recced anything here yet. I was thinking of some kind of daily or mostly-daily themes, so for example:

Sep 1 - rec a work you've read many times
Sep 2 - rec a work rated explicit/NC-17
etc

Would folks here enjoy doing participating in an event like this? I'm envisioning coming up with the themes in the next day and a half, publishing them all in a list on Sep 1, and then posting weekly reminders.

It would be zero-pressure - people could post for days that inspired them and skip the days that didn't. You would be posting your recs each day directly to the comm (both to increase posting at the comm and because it means less tagging work for me). You could also post several days in one post if you wanted.

Yay? Nay? Suggestions on daily themes? Suggestions for improvement?

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments. This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, if you don't have a DW account to make posts of your own, or if you're just shy. :)

(But don't forget, you're also welcome to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

So, what cool fic/art/vid have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below! Anon comments are enabled.
