Admin: First Of The Month

[angelsgracie.livejournal.com]

Ok, well here it is. Part 1 of the first of the month post.

First off, I'm a bit bummed that there were no volunteers for this...

Holiday Fic Recs You can still sign up!!!

But then again, it may have been lost in the second thing I want to say.

Feb 3-9 16 Recs
Feb 10-16 20 Recs
Feb 17-23 16 Recs
Feb 24-29 45 Recs

Now, upon closer look there were 18 recs on February 29th! I'm just... that's a lot of people doing very last minute recs. This floods people's flists with entries. It puts a lot of pressure on the volunteers who put recs into memories because those have to be done before the first of the month (because new rec'cers need the memories up-to-date to avoid duplicate recs). I've asked many times, and I really don't want to cap the number of recs done by a rec'cer in one day, but this cannot be a recurring event. Edit: Duplicate recs within the rec category. I have always said that I don't mind duplicate recs, but not within the same Rec Category. That's in the FAQ as well.

PLEASE plan your rec's in advance. DO NOT wait until the last day of the month to do all your recs. There are a lot of days in a month. A lot of them. So please, please spread them out!!!!!!!

Next, I am going to be incommunicado from Wednesday to Sunday. I'll be completely net-less. Therefore, daily running of the comm is going to be done by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. You can email her if it is an emergency, but I'm sure everyone will play nice while I'm gone.

Part 2 will be coming when I get back. :) So, happy rec'cing!

I do have a question. There are plenty of fics out there that fall under multiple categories. Wouldn't there be a huge chance of a fic being rec'd multiple chance under different categories because they would be under different memory entries? Or is this just completely unavoidable and really not a big deal?

I made sure I had four in my head before I volunteered. :-) With voting ending tonight (Stargate Fan Awards, you've still got an hour or so!), I'm going to be veddy busy... but I've got my minimum recs ready to release into the wild throughout the month. Time permitting, I'll try and slip in another couple, too.

I just want to thank you and medie for all your hard work. You've been putting up with me for almost two years now, and I'm still amazed at this wonderful resource for the fandom!

I've noticed that one of my November recs for the Jack/Daniel category has not been put in Memories:
