Mod Post: Pointing out some things....
So, I know I've been Missing in Action this month for a variety of personal reasons, but there's a few things I wanted to point out to you before it's too late.
1. You know the Recs Gathering post on LiveJournal and InsaneJournal that the lovely knowmefirst has been keeping?
The reason we gather recs is so when a story or piece of art receives three recs, we can send a message to The Daily Snitch and Snapenews, and they will post the piece as a "hot rec". Those two newsletters are followed by thousands of fans. If you like a Snupin Santa entry, rec it and let Knowmefirst know about it at one of the links above. She'll send an email to the newsletters with the three (or more) links so that the work can reach a wider audience. It's not too late to rec - holiday reccing often keeps going until master lists are posted.
bonfoi helpfully posted a recommendation template here. Also, I hope you all know that Hot Recs are accepted all year long at the newsletters, not just during the holidays. If your work ever receives three recs, you're welcome to submit the links to the newsletter yourself! As you can see, the newsletters don't say who submitted the hot rec. ~_^
And did I mention what great fans have come to the community through seeing recommendations in other places? *hint, hint, all!*
2. As we near the end of the exchange, your Santas are near prostrate with exhaustion. You might see some much-deserved small gifts and many thank-yous posted for Cedar and the other helpers. The fun doesn't stop just because December does!
3. Severus' birthday is January 9! As usual, the day will be open for any and all Severus-centric tributes. Posts might include stories, drabbles, icons, art, photomanips, Candid Captions (see our tags if you want to try one of those), discussions, etc. This is also a good day to share Severus-only recs or other work (but not other pairings). So, Mark your calendars! (and for anyone who needs reminding, Remus' birthday is March 10)
