2023 Stats

[fignewton]

To begin, I will proffer thanks to cassiope25, elian_panatomicpublishing, goddess47, havocthecat, and logicgunn for all their December recs! We finished off the year with a bang at 18 recs last month. A special spin of the Gate to elian_panatomicpublishing as a first time reccer!

We had a fantastic total of 194 recs this past year, surpassing 2022. Is our fandom awesome or what? :)

With much appreciation to you reccers - those of you dialing up the chevrons for the very first time, the semi-regulars that keep returning to keep the Gate spinning, and most of all, you marvelous steady regulars who come back month after month after month. And my thanks, as well, to my lovely fellow mods, annieb and thenightsfall, who manage the tagging and memories that do so much to keep the comm navigable and accessible for everyone!

And, of course: the readers, who follow the links to the recced stories and give kudos/comments to the authors (and reccers, too, sometimes). This comm is here for you.

Here's our honor roll of everyone who contributed to the comm by reccing in 2023, in chronological order of reccing:
