stultiloquentiaI, for one, am in need of comfort reading. Let's make some themed rec lists!
It works just like a prompt meme, except instead of commenting with prompts for fic you hope someone will write, comment with a request for a specific "top five" category, such as Top Five Hurt/Comfort Fics, Top Five Lan Xichen Rarepairs, Top Five Recruiter Vids, etc. Put your request in the TITLE of your comment, and any additional details, squicks, etc. in the comment body.
If you see a prompt and think, "Aha, I've read five brilliant stories that fit that description!" then put your five-item rec list in a REPLY to the prompt comment. Yes? Good.
Also:
Be kind, don't damn with faint praise, and feel free to shout, "OH YEAH, I LOVED THAT ONE TOO," at each other in the thread; you might make an author's day. Happy reading! ♥

Also:
- Multiple people may reply to any given prompt.
- You may reply to your own prompt, if you have a rec set all ready to go! I hope you do.
- You may include no more than five recs per comment.
- But if you can't help yourself, you may wiggle around this by replying to a prompt multiple times.
- If the category is really niche, and you have only two recs, poooossst.
- Personally, my favourite part of a rec list is the reccer's notes about why they love a story and what the author does especially well, so feel free to include that sort of advertising pitch. No pressure, though, if you only have time and energy to drop links and run!
- Fic, art, vids, and other fanac all welcome!!!
