future of the comm

[ratcreature]

There wasn't a lot of participation in the poll about the preferred comm model (25 responses), but roughly two thirds favored continuous open reccing, and there wasn't a pattern that those who have been signing up were the ones in favor of keeping to the sign-ups model.

So starting next year beginning with January the comm will stop using sign-ups and just be open for recs. If you ever wanted to sign-up, the next three months are your last chance for that and to get to claim a fandom exclusively.

So far TWO volunteer reccers have signed up for October with these fandoms:

* BTS (glitteryv)
* Final Fantasy XV (lokifan)

Nobody has signed up for November or December yet.

Open Rec Posting

The usual monthly open reccing period for all members starts now and lasts until the end of September. Now is your chance to try out just posting recs already! 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.)

Why this piece is awesome: It's a cute chubby horse emerging from a flat surface into 3-D. It sparks joy. Palaeolithic cave art is a special interest of mine. The artist has done several more works on the same theme, but this was the first one I saw. It makes me so happy.
