due South Recs Redux

Welcome to our very first challenge here at ds_recsredux!

What we have for you this week is the New Writers Challenge! We want you to rec fics by (relatively) new writers. Due South is a fandom that's, what, over a decade old? We're talking writers who are pretty new to the fandom. Someone who hasn't been recced a lot, someone who has emerged in the past six months or so, someone who is new to the fandom, or from another established fandom.

One of the very best things about Due South as a fandom is that there is constantly new blood. There are always new writers entering the fandom and giving us amazing fic. With the constant influx of writers, there are always some fics we may have missed along the way, from writers we don't know, and this is your chance to turn the spotlight on them!

So you have from now until midnight Sunday, October 8th, to post your favorite fics from new writers! Remember, three recs per challenge, plus one free insta-rec! See the profile for rules and formatting, and please remember to tag your recs!

Any ideas for future challenges, comm suggestions, or any questions that you have, comment on this post!

Welcome to ds_recsredux! It's a whole new world of reccing!

Here's how it works: a new theme will be posted each week (First Time Fics! AUs! Genderfuck fics!). You post a rec for a fic that fits the theme. It's open for anyone to play! Rec one story, or do a themed set of three of your favorites, but please, no more than three recs per challenge - let other people get a chance to chime in!

Short recs telling us what to read and why are fine, and so are long reviews expounding upon your love for your favorite stories that fit the theme.

Once a week, you get a free insta-rec. If you read a fic by someone else, and love it, and think everyone else should know about it, post it here! Your insta-rec is a freebie: it doesn’t have to fit the theme.

It's low commitment, lots of fun, and a great way to pimp your favorites stories!

---

Specific rules: recs should be posted in the time between when the challenge is issued and the time when the challenge is formally closed.

Any rating, any pairing, any Rays, anything goes, so long as it's Due South fic. This is specific for Due South, so no Six Degrees of DS fics (Hard Core Logo, Wilby Wonderful, etc).

We’re always looking for ideas, so come forward and suggest ideas for future recs challenges in the comments of the Admin post each week!

No OT posts: all posts must be recs challenge responses. We are not a fic-finders community - see ds_ficfinders if you are looking for something specific.
