Starting in 2025 this comm no longer requires any sign-ups and is just open for fanart recs posting.

Recs do still have to conform to the rec formatting template and follow the rules for what is allowed to be recced here.

Happy reccing!
ratcreature: RatCreature begs: Please? (please?)

As reminder, this comm will stop using sign-ups and just be open for recs starting in January. If you ever wanted to sign-up to highlight your recs, the next month is your last chance for that and to get to claim a fandom exclusively.

Nobody has signed up for December yet.

(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.)

As reminder, this comm will stop using sign-ups and just be open for recs starting in January. If you ever wanted to sign-up to highlight your recs, the next two months are your last chance for that and to get to claim a fandom exclusively.

Nobody has signed up for November or December yet.

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 ([personal profile] glitteryv)
* Final Fantasy XV ([personal profile] 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.

I set up this comm with a sign-up model to hopefully get regular posts and keep the comm alive. This has worked okay-ish as over a decade later we still have some posting going on. However sign-ups have declined (even if I remember to post reminders) with only a couple of people signing up regularly.

In light of this I have wondered whether members would prefer to just turn it into an open fanart rec community, where you can just post (properly formatted and tagged) fanart recs whenever. Hence this poll.

Poll #31865 Switching comm model y/n?
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 25


Should the comm keep the current model?

View Answers

Yes, keep the sign-up for reccing.
7 (28.0%)

No, switch to a permanent open reccing model.
17 (68.0%)

Something else I explain in a comment.
1 (4.0%)

I object to it being September already and totally forgot about the regular reccer recruiting post. /o\ So far ONE volunteer reccer has signed up for September with this fandom:

* Interview with the Vampire ([personal profile] mific)

It would of course be awesome if we had some more recs this month. There is still plenty of opportunity for you to jump in and volunteer to rec in September (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 ONE reccer has volunteered for October 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 September, October 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 July. 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.
