Starting tonight, we are introducing a new category for the [community profile] daily_snitch:

☆ Fandom Recs ☆


We hope "Fandom Recs" will be a useful new resource for HP fandom. With the category, we want to show our appreciation of all the reccers who take the time to write up what they loved about a specific fanfic, art, podfic and/or fanvid. Fandom needs reccers, especially when it comes to rarer pairings and fannish creations off the well-trodden fandom paths.

In the new category we will link to recs on LJ, DW, IJ, tumblr or any other fannish platform. The rec posts can be made in reccing communities like the [livejournal.com profile] crack_broom, [livejournal.com profile] one_bad_man or [livejournal.com profile] hd_storyroom. Or they can be made by individual fans, reccing their favourite stories, art, podfics and vids.

We define "rec post" to mean more than a repost/reblog of a fannish creation. The reccer has to say at least a few words about why they are reccing.

We will link to the rec post and make a note of the pairing or whether it's a gen creation. We will not list the author/artist, title or summary of the recced story or art. Any additional information about the rec post is at the editor's discretion.

To help us gather all rec posts, we need your help. Please mail us if you posted a rec. Don't be shy. We want to hear from you. :) If you saw a rec post that we missed, please also mail us. Our email address is: dailysnitch@gmail.com

The "Fannish Recs" Category is a test. We will try it out for two months and then re-evaluate whether the category is useful for Snitch readers and doable for the editor team.

We'd love to hear your thoughts about the new category, any reccing communities we may be unaware of, and whether you have additional suggestions for the new category. Please comment on this post!
