Mod Moment

[medie]

I've said this in my journal, now I'll say it here where the three hundred and ninety two members and six hundred and thirty eight watchers can read it.

I don't speak a lot but I'm going to say this.

These fics do not rec themselves and with this many people watching the community and being involved with the community we should not be begging for volunteers on a month to month basis. This month is especially bad and quite frankly, it's embarrassing.

I know it may seem intimidating to do this but I promise you it's not. We're not asking for a Siskel & Roper review just the pertinent information and a little why you liked it. A minimum of four recs in a month is hardly a stretch either. One a week? Twenty minutes to do and that's if you're a slow typist.

Believe me when I say if we don't get enough people volunteering, the community will cease to exist and it won't be because we haven't tried. At this point we've done everything short of rec every single category at one time ourselves.

At the end of the day, the ball is in your court here.

A minimum of four stories in a month...

That's all we're asking.

eta: if you're not sure *where* to go exactly the volunteer posts are listed in memories here. They're in a different comm so as not to clutter this one up.

I'm hoping [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] will reply here too with her ideas. We have set up with a 'sister'-type community (or two) that are run by fellow members. People use them as sort of archives.

And this comm is for asking... "Where's this fic?" even if you don't know the title...

[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]

So those are my ideas for finding links. Hope they help!

check out more generalized archives like Wraithbait, Atlantica and the like. Plus there are a few generalized fanfiction comms on livejournal itself.

When I couldn't get Jack/Daniel, the pairing I read most often, I rec'ced slash and did mostly Jack/Daniel recs (though I did make an effort to include non-J/D as well). Maybe that would work for you?

sganewsletter tags their fic by character or pairing; it's all there in their memories - the lists are *huge*.

Sorry about that. I meant sga_newsletter.
