Hi! I am here to reassure you all that I have NOT forgotten about this comm, and I miss it, and I want to get it going again. SO. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, there will be a BRAND NEW challenge for you all, so get your reccing caps on! I think the only change for the comm at this point is that we're going to leave challenges open for TWO weeks, instead of one as before.

As always, you can leave suggestions for challenges in the comments of any admin posts.

AND! I'm looking for one or two volunteers to maybe guest mod or run something new and interesting on the comm sometime soon. Step up as an individual or a pair, and play in the sandbox for a while!

YAY!

Hi! Life has been crazy over here, but I just wanted to let everyone know that [livejournal.com profile] ds_recsredux WILL be back, and soon! I am currently mulling over what the best plan of attack is, so to speak. The floor is still open for suggestions, so feel free!

Thanks, everyone, and stay tuned.

Hi everyone! [livejournal.com profile] ds_recsredux has been on a sort of impromptu hiatus, mostly because [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

Hi! Let's pretend I know the days of the week and it is still Monday! The Kid Fic Challenge is now CLOSED, and you can find the eight sets of recs here!

Short, short, SHORT hiatus this week, but we'll be back on Monday with a fun fun week of reccing! The comm is still open for insta-recs, so if you read something that makes you all happy this week, go ahead and rec it here!

We'll be back on Monday!

It was [livejournal.com profile] sageness who first suggested this, and it seems to be a rather popular one, so hi, kittens, it's Monday morning and it's time for Kid Fic! Rec us your favorite Kid Fic stories - interpreted however you want. Fic where Ray and Fraser adopt a kid! Fic that takes place when any of the guys WERE kids. Kids galore, kids everywhere, hey, even rec us those fics where Kowalski is yearning to have a kid, and Stella just won't.

Or, ooh, mpreg! It totally counts!

You have until Sunday, April 29th to explore the wonders of family life!

The Hidden Gems Challenge is closed! You can find the three challenge responses here! New challenge coming right up!
[identity profile] justbreathe80.livejournal.com
We all have taken a chance on a story by a new author, and been glad we did! We also have read fics by well-known authors that we've never heard of before, and wondered why.

Rec us your favorite hidden gems! Something that you think maybe the rest of us missed somehow that you LOVED. There have to be some good things that we've missed, and you should take them out of your little box and show them to us!

The challenge will be open through Sunday, April 22. And, as always, we're looking for suggestions for future challenges, so drop a comment here if you have any!

Hello! The Sick Challenge is officially CLOSED. You can view the eight entries here!

New challenge coming up VERY shortly!
[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com
Welcome back to [livejournal.com profile] ds_recsredux! We hope you all used the break to read LOTS AND LOTS OF PORN.

This week, we have for you a challenge suggested by the lovely and intelligent [livejournal.com profile] omphale23, and it's one which I feel is particularly apt, given the con crud that has been going around my f-list for the past week: rec us your favorite Sick Fics! Give us Ray Kowalski with a cold! Benton Fraser being the worst patient in history! We'll take anything in that realm: hospital stays! Broken limbs! Concussions! Hell, even mental imbalances count here!

You have one week to rec your favorite fics in which the guys are sickly. The challenge closes on Sunday, April 15th, at midnight!
[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com
Good morning, darlings! The comfort fic challenge is CLOSED. The nine challenge responses are here for whenever you are in need of comfort!

[livejournal.com profile] ds_recsredux will be taking a short hiatus! We will return on Monday April 9th with a whole new challenge to inspire you! Stick around!
[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com
You guys did BRILLIANTLY awesome at last week's Stop Drop Rec challenges - I applaud you!

This week we're back to our regularly scheduled reccing program! And what we have for you is something we all need: Comfort Fic. Interpreted however you like! What's the one fic you go back to time and again, an old favorite that is just soothing and makes you happy? Or tell us your favorite fic where the guys comfort each other, make each other feel better, sit on the couch and do each other's hair and talk about boys lean on each other. Either! Both! All of the above!

You have until the end of Sunday, March 18th, to post your recs here!

And if you have any ideas for future challenges, please leave them here in a comment! We are always looking for new, inspiring ideas!

Darlings, YAY FOR SEX TOYS! You will find the seven challenge response here. Thank you SO MUCH for your wonderful recs this week! We'll be back next week with your regularly scheduled recs!

[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com
Okay, kittens! Final Stop Drop Rec Challenge of the week, and you know what? You are launching us into the weekend with this, so I want you to really think and give us some AWESOME FIC to settle down into this weekend. Because it is a blah March weekend and we need something to keep us warm!

So your challenge is this: give us your Very! Favorite! SEX TOY FIC.

Dildos! Butt plugs! Nipple clamps! (...is there DS nipple clamp fic? Huh.) God, Fraser's Sam Browne belt counts as a sex toy! So does his lanyard if used correctly! Handcuffs count! Strap-ons! Use your imagination! Think deep and think hard and give us your favorite sex toy story! \o/

You have until 10AM EST tomorrow morning to post your recs. Go forth and be happy!

omg, I keep asking [livejournal.com profile] justbreathe80 for thoughts on these challenges, and then I just write them while I'm waiting for her email back. So just as I post something like BUTT PLUGS FTW, I get an email with a nice, wholesome suggestion like "Comfort fic!" Uhm. I find sex toys comforting? Does that count?

The Crack Fic challenge is now CLOSED! You can find the ten responses, uhm, here (along with the other Stop Drop Rec challenges, because I forgot to make a tag for it. SMRT.)

Final Stop Drop Rec coming up bright and early Friday morning!
[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com
Hello, my darlings! Welcome to day two of Stop! Drop! Rec!

What I have for you today: please rec your favorite DS Crack Fic. Come on. We have tentacles. We have male pregnancy. We have aliens and Noah's ark and feathercock and turtles. We have TURNBULL, people. There is crack out there, and I want you to come here and admit to us how much you LOVE it.

(though really? The best part about DS crack is how VERY MUCH of it can be waved away with "For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture...")

You have 24 hours - until 10AM EST tomorrow - to post your recs! Go forth and be crazy!
[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com
Darlings, stop dodging lightning - the Religious Challenge has ended! You can find the five challenge responses here! ♥

New Stop Drop Rec coming up tomorrow morning! Get ready! Go read porn as homework!
[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com
So you know what we need this week? We need to

Stop Drop Rec!



That's right! It's that time again, with our fabulous special rec deal for one week only, just to get you all hot and bothered!

(For those of you who missed it last time around, here's what's happening: we're going to give you a really very inspiring type of fic to rec. Something we are anxious to share, to talk about, to take fifteen minutes on this ONE DAY and write a little love note about.)

You have 24 hours from RIGHT NOW to post your rec. One day, one rec, one inspiring topic!

At 10AM EST time tomorrow, this challenge will be CLOSED. Wednesday morning, we're going to give you another Stop Drop Rec! topic, and on Friday morning as well!

So are you ready? Okay! Lovely, porny, kinky darlings, what I want from you today is your favorite Religious Fic! Fraser as a priest! Sex in a confessional! (and how much do I love that our fandom has quite a few of these? ♥ ) All manner of inappropriate yet awesomely delicious fic that is sure to lead most of us directly to hell.

Ready? GO. Twenty-four hours to share your priest-collar kink!

Also? We are looking for more rec suggestions! We are working our way through a fabulous collection of suggestions offered in the past, but we're looking for new and fresh ideas as well. Suggestions welcome! Please! Leave them here in a comment!

Quit touching yourself! The masturbation challenge is over, and you can find the four rec posts here! New challenge coming right up!
[identity profile] brooklinegirl.livejournal.com
You know what's awesome?

Jerking off.

It's a suggestion from [livejournal.com profile] pearl_o (you're shocked, I know!) and I think it's a SPLENDID one, so what we have for you this week is the Masturbation Challenge! What's your favorite jerk-off scene? Best orgasm Ray Kowalski ever had by himself? Fraser and Ray surreptitiously masturbating while stuck in a tent together on the adventure! Even Fraser has to get off by himself sometimes!

I want you to sit down and ponder this, darlings, and then come back here and share with us! It's a whole week of masturbation! Nothing's better than that!

The Secondary Characters are relegated to the background once more! You can find the six rec sets here!
