RECCING SIGN-UP POST
so, for this comm to get in order, what we need are reccers!
this is the post where you sign up for the fandom (or large ship within a fandom) you're interested in reccing for. at the moment we're looking for recs just for the month of august, with one person per fandom/ship. (please don't worry if the fandom/ship you're interested in is taken! with enough activity we will definitely host more rounds.)
the way this will go is that once you have a fandom/ship to rec for, you will be assigned a certain day (such as sunday, monday, tuesday.) on the designated day, you will post one fic rec for your fandom.
"underappreciated":
how we define "underappreciated" (as stated in our profile) is:
- any fic with less than 1000 kudos on ao3 - this is a hard rule
- fic that is not in the top 2% of pages for a fandom
- fic not by an author who has a story in the top 1% of pages for a fandom
- fic that has been posted/created for at least a month
- (we will help set these numbers for you so nothing gets lost in translation)
- if you're interested in reccing a specific popular ship for a large fandom, please let us know for that. (e.g. drarry)
- if you're interested in reccing fic from small fandoms, we can discuss adjusting qualifications.
- if you're interested in reccing fic from fanfiction.net, livejournal (not x-posted to ao3), or any other platform, please let us know so we can discuss popularity proportions.
this is the format of the recs:
subject: Title by Author [Rating]formats inspired by
Fandom: your fandom
Title: title with link to the fic. please let us know if you don't know how to make a link on dreamwidth
Pairing/Character Focus: please use full names if possible
Author: ao3 users can be credited with the following code:<user name="main ao3 pseud" site="archiveofourown.org">
What makes this a gem: write a little blurb about why you're reccing this fic in particular! does it have wonderful prose? wonderful themes? (both?) is it a personal favorite? can you not stop thinking about it?
warnings are not required as they are assumed to be appropriately marked by the author

please leave a comment with the fandom you're interested in reccing for! and yes, we do require a dreamwidth account. but other than that... that's it, and you'll hear from us soon!

Rules?
Could you go over how the posting wrks again?
Re: Rules?
oh, and signing up for august essentially just means you need 4-5 recs for now. that's about it! and if you can't make a week, you can still submit it and we'll queue your post for the week/day you're due to post.

top % are when:
1. fics sorted by kudos
2. the total number of pages there are for the fandom in question
3. 2% [or 1%] of that total number
for example, as of right now supernatural has 8427 pages here. 2% of 8427 is 168.54, which means that no fics in the first 168 (or 169, if we want to round up) pages when all the works are sorted by kudos are allowed to be recced.
another way to do this without needing to manually Find if a fic is on any of the pages is to take the last fic on the last page of the limit - for our supernatural example, that would be 527 kudos - and see if the fic we're reccing has less kudos than this. then it'll definitely be on a later page! (it also occurs to me that supernatural isn't a great example, since there seems to be a large disparity between the most popular fics and the others, so if there's anyone interested in reccing for supernatural, we'd be happy to discuss having this adjusted due to these patterns.)
authors is similar - if an author has a fic in the top 1% of pages - so for supernatural, that would be 1% of 8427, which is 84 pages - then none of their other stuff is allowed to be recced for the fandom in question. for authors, though, we'll actually help make lists of authors who aren't allowed to be recced in this way, since we know this requires much more effort.
