Thank you.

Is it okay to rec an artwork that was made for a big bang fic I wrote. Or does that count as a self rec?

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

That's fine!

[re-white.livejournal.com]

Would be possible to add a tag for retirement fic?

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'll add it to the list now as "content: retirement"

Would it be possible for you to create a tag for the character of Lady Smallwood from His Last Vow since she's the main protagonist of the story I've just recced?

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Here you go. :)

[frozen_delight]

Thank you.

I don't know if you keep track of this kind of thing, but there was a spam comment posted anonymously on this entry: http://221b-recs.livejournal.com/315014.html
It was an ad for a medication with a link included.
I deleted the comment and reported it to LJ as spam. Hopefully this is not the beginning of a wave of the stuff.

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Huh, I thought we had anon commenting turned off. Will check on that.

[swissmarg]

Yup, it's a wave. Here are two more. I haven't deleted them yet although they are screened, so I'm not sure if you can see them:

and

Anon commenting was turned on, but I turned it off again. So hopefully it should stop now.

I deleted the comments you linked.

Mea culpa! I posted a rec on the same fan comic as archea2 on the same day. I had been working on my post much of today and not looked for recent page updates after I had checked the spreadsheet this afternoon. Regardless, I will take my rec down if you want to to, as archea2 posted their's first.

Again, I'm sorry I didn't look for an update before I posted tonight.

Hi there,

this August I would like to rec AJ Hall's Gondal series. It's not actually a WIP but a series of stories that can be read separately, but are far more enjoyable as a whole. She's still writing and posting at irregular intervals. Can I rec these?

Hello mods,

may we have a "pairing: sally donovan/harry watson" tag (or something equivalent) please?

Here's my rec post:

Hi mods! There is a vid I would like to rec but I haven't found it posted anywhere other than YouTube. The vidder doesn't have an LJ or DW or Tumblr page, at least none that I can find by googling. Is it okay for me to post the YouTube link in my rec? If not, no worries, I have plenty of other fanworks I can post about instead. Thanks :)

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

If they are officially separate stories then yes, you can rec them.

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Hi - really sorry about the late reply! Life's been really busy lately... But I see unovis already told you in a comment you could keep the rec up. Double recs happen, it's ok.

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Sorry about the late reply! I added the pairing tag for you.

[tanpopo03.livejournal.com]

Sorry about the late reply!
If there is no announcement post you can link to the vid's webpage (in this case on youtube) or the vidder's page there.

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks!

Hi! Can we have a tag for Molly Hooper/John Watson?

[ficklepig.livejournal.com]

Hello! I sleepily posted a draft version of the last rec I made - I wonder if I could have access to edit it slightly? (No biggie if not, I just cringe at a sentence or two.)

[unovis.livejournal.com]

OK. I've added the tag "pairing: molly hooper/jw"

[chapbook.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure when I'll be recc'ing next (most likely May, after the term has ended), but I suspect I'll want to post at least one piece of fanart inspired by the Sherlock Special and I wondered about a) a tag for the special episode and b) how to handle spoilers, as the costumes alone could be seen as a major spoiler.
