Katrina Cornwell poster by caressyouintodarkness (SFW)

[mekare]

So here’s another awesome female character from Discovery: Admiral Katrina Cornwell, played by Jayne Brook. The fandom is creating more and more awesome art and I really have to keep myself in check to rec a work for every character first before branching out to all the other cool stuff I found.

Fandom: Star Trek Discovery
Character: Admiral Katrina Cornwell
Content Notes/Warnings: None
Medium: Digital art
Artist Website/Gallery: caressyouintodarkness
Why this piece is awesome: I really like the composition of the poster, the colourful warp signatures (?) connecting the three portraits of Cornwell. Also of course the awesome slogan “the future is feminist”. Putting her face into the Federation symbol in the middle is great too. Also now you can finally see the Discovery!
Link: here this was originallymade as a banner for a Katrina Cornwell/Jayne Brook fantumblr but the artist changed a couple of things and made a poster of it.

looking for reccers for upcoming months & open reccing

[ratcreature]

It's time for our regular reccer recruiting post, and to look ahead to the next month. So far we have THREE volunteer reccers who signed up for March with these fandoms:

* Captain America (glitteryv)
* Line of Duty (flowerdeluce)
* Star Trek Discovery (mekare)

So while we already have a few recs to look forward to in March, it would of course be awesome if we had some more recs. There is still plenty of opportunity for you to jump in and volunteer to rec next month (or to convince your friends to do some reccing). And many cheers for all of our members who volunteer to rec, especially if you rec regularly. Your valiant repeat efforts keep the comm alive.

Looking even further ahead so far NO reccer has volunteered for April, so that month definitely still needs some love (and recs! *g*) too. So please consider reccing in a fandom of your choice, whether small or huge, and comment on the sign-up post and volunteer for March, April or even further ahead if you are so well organized, that you know your fannish interests and time commitments in advance. It's only four recs as a minimum, and you can rec any genre or rating. Or promote us to your friends or in your favorite communities so others do the work.

Open Rec Posting

The monthly open reccing period for all members starts now and lasts until the end of February. Since the general prompts don't seem to work as inspiration, I've decided to stop adding them, but to keep the open reccing period in case anyone wants to slip a rec in, without having to come up with three others for a fandom. However the recs do still have to conform to the usual rec format and follow the rules for what is allowed to be recced here.

(Comments here are disabled, because I want to bundle volunteering in the sign-up post so that nothing gets lost, and you can see the list of claimed slots there too.)
