Admin Post: Help!

[justbreathe80.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! ds_recsredux has been on a sort of impromptu hiatus, mostly because brooklinegirl and I have been INSANELY busy lately and honestly haven't had the time. Also, we have been brainstorming new ideas for the comm. While the rec challenge format is great, it seems to be difficult to sustain over a long period of time, and we want to keep the comm vital and fun!

We have a few ideas to throw out:

1) A format somewhat like stargateficrec, where people volunteer to rec a pairing or character for a week or more, and post a bunch of recs.

2) Go back to the good old days of ds_recs, where people are assigned a day every week for a month, and they rec fic or episodes or art or something else.

3) Something that brooklinegirl and I have not thought of, because are brains are FRIED.

We are also willing, if you have a great idea that you want to run with, to give up the comm to some temporary new mods to do something interesting. We are easy! Um. Yeah.

So, this is an open forum. Tell us what you want and what you'd like to see the comm look like in the future. We would GREATLY appreciate it!

I like option 2, because it reduces the stress to produce something daily. Reccers can set up their posts ahead of time, so that even if RL intrudes, they can still get their recs in. You could choose a theme for the month of recs or let the individual reccers talk about what moves them as fans of the show as well as fan-produced stories, art, essays or meta.

On the other hand, if you guys need a break for a while, I'll help with mod duties. There are a few themes I would like to see explored — favorite plotty fic, favorite crossovers, favorite first time fics, favorite h/c and so on.
