Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool fancrafts/fanvids/fics/podfics/fanart/other kinds of fanworks have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here.

I hope everyone's having a great time browsing the exchange! While you do, I have two emergency pinch hits. These would be due as soon as possible, but it's fine if you need a little time. If you're interested, please let me know what ETA would work for you.

To claim one, please comment with your AO3 name and the number of the EPH. All comments are screened, and pinch hitters are much appreciated!

These are both claimed--thank you!

A few years I created a database to organize my fanfics, stocked it with about 1800 fics from a handful of fandoms (mostly small ones), and then got swamped with things and put it on hold. Tonight I've finally caught up with the fandoms in it* and updated all of the lists, and thought it might be good to link them here in case someone hasn't seen the posts before or wants to revisit them now that I have added nearly 350 fics to the lists.

You can find them all linked at my master recs post. All lists indicate which ships are major in the fic, if any, and I mark a few additional things that may be helpful.

Fandoms currently included:
  • Alphas

  • FBI (CBS show)

  • FBI: Most Wanted

  • Fried Green Tomatoes (book & movie)

  • Push

  • Speed

  • The Matrix

as well as a smattering of recs from tinier fandoms (mainly movies). Fandoms with fewer than 30 fics in my database (such as Speed) are in a "Tiny fandoms" post, and there's a post just for crossovers as well.

In order to keep maintenance to a minimum, I don't include all the themes with the main posts above, but I generally include them with any post made on request. Themes tagged cover everything from tropes to grammar (I tag anything that isn't third person past tense) to story ending (positive, sad/unhappy, etc.) to AO3's archive warnings. If you want or need to be spoiled about everything, follow the directions on that post to request a custom recs list and I'd be happy to make one for you.

* The only fandoms not updated are the two FBI shows, because I haven't watched past S3 of the main show and S2 of the Most Wanted one. Someday, perhaps…

I'm delighted to announce that the archive is now open. Go forth to read, view, and comment!

As always, if there are any problems, please send an email so we can follow up privately. I hope there are many works for you to enjoy in this year's collection.

I've extended the anonymous period a little bit because of delays, so creators will now be revealed on August 16th. The collection will remain open for treats (of any length) and makeup assignments.

We are just over two days from the collection opening!

I've checked in on the last few pinch hits, and at this time I don't expect any further delays.

While we wait, now is a great time to give your work a final polish.

If you're thinking of creating a last-minute treat, why not consider the treats for pinch hitters post?

See you all at the finish line...
