TPM Flashback's Journal

welcome, plus a template

Original poster: darththalia

Welcome to tpm_flashback! This is a TPM/prequel recs community; the plan is for it to start up on Tuesday, June 1. The first eight-week period will end on Monday, July 26. See the user info for a few more details.

If you're one of the first seven reccers, don't forget to join the community so I can give you posting access. Everyone else is welcome to join, or, if you'd prefer, just add the community to your friends list.

Also, if you're one of the first group, leave a comment here and let me know what days you'd be able to post--at least a first and second choice, please.

It looks like our first group is darthfox, ausmac, glasshouseslive, gloriana, the_emu, mrshamill, and splix. Thank you all for volunteering! I'll start looking for the next set of seven volunteers toward the end of July.

Don't forget, any stories about Star Wars prequel characters are acceptable--including characters like Bruck and Xanatos that come from the books. I suspect that most of the stories here will be Q/O, but it would be great to have a little variety.

Please try to post on your assigned day. But if something comes up and you miss one, just post when you have a chance, or post two recs the next time you're scheduled.

Here's a template to use for posting recs:

The subject line should state the title and author of the story being recced.

In the body of the post, include
Title:
Author:
Rating:
Pairing:
Warnings: Warnings are required for chan, rape/non-con and character death. In general, specify the warnings that the author used. If you want, you can put the warnings behind an LJ-cut if you think they might spoil the story.
Author's e-mail, web site and/or LJ id:
Link to story:
Reasons for recommending: A short, spoiler-free explanation of why this is a good story.

Quote from story: Include a blurb from the story that gives readers a feel for the story. Put this behind an LJ-cut.

Optionally, you can include some more detailed story discussion that includes spoilers. Put this behind a separate LJ-cut.
