Open Recs!

Hi! Welcome to the Open Recs Post for March.

You might have noticed that the Open Recs Posts have been pretty irregular for a while. We're really sorry about that. But we've come to the decision that we're going to have only one post per month for the forseeable future.

On with the show:

As always, you're invited to post in comments here any recs or requests for recs for fic, vids, art, or podfic. All versions of Sherlock Holmes are welcome, as are WIPs.

You don't need to sign up to rec in this post.

Please let us know if you have any questions in comments or PMs to the mods.

Open Recs Post/Open Recs Weekend (Yikes, late!)

Welcome to another open recs weekend.

You're invited to post in comments here any recs or requests for recs for fic, vids, art, or podfic. All versions of Sherlock Holmes are welcome.

The comm is also open today and tomorrow for anyone to make a rec in a separate post. Please use our headers and make sure you've read the rules if you're new to reccing here, especially our tagging and warning guidelines.

Please let us know if you have any questions in comments or PMs to the mods.

NB: I apologize for the lateness of this post. I didn't realize it was Saturday -- I'm babying a small, demanding, post-op dog who is limping around in a tiny boot this week and not posting much of anything.

But also: the poll conducted a few weeks ago was 95% in favor of continuing the open recs post and weekend. However, only a few people have posted or commented. Since there are so many other communities offering posts for rec comments now, we might discontinue ours if lack of participation continues. Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

ETA: Sorry, all -- LJ is seeing replies to this post as spam, and I've had to "unspam" them (when I see them) to make them visible. I added AO3 to our whitelist, but that seems not to be the problem.

Tags and tagging

Hi!
Just a few words on our tags and tagging your recs.

Tags are useful search tools for grouping the recs by categories: by pairing, genre, content, and sources for the stories or other fanworks.

We ask that reccers attach tags that are relevant to the works they rec. You don't have to add everything that applies-- for example, not a character tag for everyone who might appear in the story, or every theme or content. But if Molly has a significant cameo, say, that you think people searching for her might appreciate, then by all means list her in a tag. Likewise if you think this is the addiction story people should read, then use the content: addiction tag.

The required aspects to tag are pairing (if it applies), relationship genre (i.e., gen, slash, or het*), and verse (the source: ACD books, Sherlock BBC, Granada, etc.).

The easiest place to see all of the tags available is in this list of tags.

Tagging is enabled only for the author of the post and the mods. Only the mods can add new tags. We have a beginning list up now, anticipating likely categories and characters. We'll add more as recs are made, if characters and pairings, for example, aren't covered already. You can request a new tag to be added by commenting here or by contacting one of the mods. Keep in mind, again, that we'll be adding character tags as additional characters appear in recs.

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson have been abbreviated as SH and JW in pairings and some other places (e.g., content: sick jw). Since this recs comm is open to all versions of Sherlock Holmes, it seemed the simplest way to identify the characters. Lestrade, Gregson, and Dimmock are listed as "inspector" following ACD book canon, and Moriarty is listed only once by his (their) surname alone. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is abbreviated throughout as ACD.

*We won't add a category for "slash-if-you-squint" or similar invitations for the reader to see subtext in a story. If the author hasn't labeled her work as slash, then it's genre: gen or genre: friendship.
