December reccers: volunteer post

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

This entry will be open to volunteers through November 30th. The official list of monthly reccers will be posted on Thursday.

We had an unusually high number of reccers signing up for November, and we've already exceeded the number of recs we had in October. Let's see if we can do the same for next month! :)

Comment with the username you'll be using to rec and the category you want, choosing a category from the list below or selecting a more rare category that has been used in the past. If you want to rec a category that is not on the list below or in the community memories, feel free to ask. Remember that you may volunteer for a category that isn't listed.

By signing up, you are committing yourself to reccing at least two (preferably four) stories in that category during the month of December. November reccers may only sign up for next month after posting their minimum two recs for this month. The FAQ and rec template, with detailed instructions, can be found here.

You must be a member of stargateficrec in order to post, so if you're a new reccer, be sure to join the community.

I think I'd like to have a try and I'd like to go for one of the rarer categories: Sam/John. (And no, I won't rec my own fics :p)

I'm always happy to see more unusual ships get more attention (says the woman who recs gen relentlessly because it tends to meep quietly in the corner, weeping with loneliness). :)

As for self-reccing... In over a decade participating at stargateficrec, I only saw it once. There are surely places that welcome self-recs, but it's not really appropriate here. I applaud your wisdom! ;)

I meant to get a couple more recs in this month but I guess that just means I have enough bookmarked for one more month! Could I do John Sheppard again?

AU, please?

Can I do drunk/stoned as a trope - so "other" - thanks! (seasonally appropriate!)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Ha! What a fun idea!

"Other" isn't a category per se, so much as saying, "Go ahead and claim a category if you don't see it here." For example, "team" didn't actually exist as a category until I recced it so often as "other" than the former admins just gave up and made it official. :)

Could you consider the recs you want and see if they'd fit mostly as gen, or team, or some other regular category? If not, we'll go ahead and invent a "Drunk" one. Bring on the martinis!

(or maybe you'd rather "under the influence," so you can include drugged stories too?

[mific.livejournal.com]

I can't guarantee that they'd all be team or a specific pairing (and definitely not all gen!), so safer I think to call it "under the influence" or "drunk/drugged" - if you wanted a simpler category name.

Count me in for crossovers :)

I've been having fun with Jack O'Neill last couple of months, let's end the year that way...
