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 have signed up for October with these fandoms:

* Hades (schneefink)
* Sk8 the Infinity (hogwartstoalexandria)
* Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines (honigfrosch)

So while we already have a few recs to look forward to in October, 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 only ONE reccer has volunteered for November, 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 October, November 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 September. 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.)

Battle for Eternia by MightyGodOfThunder (SFW)

Why this piece is awesome: It's rare to have a quiet moment inbetween all the action, even rarer when it's two arch enemies peacefully playing chess (peaceful aside from Orko's angry glare, that is). I like He-Man's pensive look and Skeletor's careful movements (his chair is further away from the table, too) - respectful, but not fully at ease. The detailed furniture and warm earth tones of the foreground contrast with the misty, half-formed background, making the scene look like a dream or out of time, which in turn encourages the viewer to come up with their own explanations and backgrounds for this scenario. What if...?
