#i think for organizational purposes i'll tag fic rec posts as 'rec' so that opens it up to more than just fic

[stanuary]

Question, do "fic recs" fall under things that can be done for Stanuary? Because I've remembered this fic I've read, which I'm pretty sure fits with one of the themes for the event, but I'm absolutely not the person who wrote it, and also the fic's incomplete and hasn't been updated in like a year or two (the author has SO many good fic ideas and bounces between them and new ones at random, which means there's a wide variety of good stuff, but also means the odds aren't in your favour if you want to see more of any one given fic).

ooh good question!

i'd never thought about fic recs before but i always want to encourage post types beyond the two big categories of art and fic (i really miss when more people made playlists and moodboards and such), so i think this is a lovely idea! one of the reasons i've started reblogging more stan posts that aren't strictly "for" stanuary over the years is to give some extra attention to creations that might otherwise have gone under the radar, and recommending fics that could use more love would be right in line with that :')

one thing to keep in mind is that i do read all the stanuary fics before reblogging them here (to make sure they fit the guidelines and so i can tag any big triggers if necessary), but if someone recs a fic with a 50k wordcount i obviously won't have time to read it all. so i'd just ask everyone to be aware of the guidelines and list warnings to the best of your ability when making a rec post. and of course anyone can always dm to ask if you're unsure about something!

tl;dr you have my blessing 💗
