Welcome & Sign-ups for March/April

[spikedluv]

Welcome to Numb3rs Fandom Recommendations, where the recs aren’t just for fan fic anymore! *g*

I’m very excited about this community because I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for a while. When ncisficrecs was recently created, I decided that there was no time like the present. This community will be a combination of the various rec communities across LiveJournal, based mainly on my experiences with crack_van, ds_recs and ds_recsredux.

Here’s how it’s going to work: We’re going to alternate themed rec challenges with assigned rec’ers on a weekly basis. New weeks begin on Mondays. Our inaugural themed challenge will be posted next Monday, March 19th.

During themed rec weeks you can make up to three recs that fit that particular theme.

During assigned rec weeks, you sign up to rec, pimp, talk about anything you want, so long as it’s Numb3rs-related. Fic, episodes, vids, characters, authors . . . .

For additional information, please read the community profile.

ETA: To clear up any confusion, I wanted to clarify that this comm is for all genres of fic, so if you're not a Don/Charlie fan like me, don't despair! Gen, Het and Slash fic are all welcome! *g*

---

Here is a list of the available weeks for the remainder of March and for April. If you’d like to suggest a theme, or if you’d like to sign up for a week all your very own, please do so in comments. Sign-ups for Assigned Rec weeks will be on a first-come, first-served basis, but I’ll be compiling a list for the following months, so just tell me if you’d like to be on it.

April 2: Theme: Megan Reeves
April 9: Assigned: leda_speaks
April 16: Theme: Hurt/Comfort

Oh, the irony...

I too was bemoaning how lame the sole recs comm was in this fandom so I went about contacting each of the three mods of that comm to get them to hand over the keys to me.

They finally did, but before I could put the new version in place voila - you have a different comm up.

Good luck to you.

Oh, wow, that is ironic! And to make it even more ironic, several months ago when I saw how slow that comm was, I considered asking the mods if they were interested in allowing me to take it over, but I wasn't sure how to word my request in a way not to make it seem I was saying I thought I could do a better job with their comm than they were doing. *g*

Anyway, I backburnered the idea until the creation of the NCIS rec comm piqued my interest again. In fact, I checked out the existing Numb3rs rec comm to see if there had been any recent posts, but I never even considered that it might be under new management.

Sorry for butting in ahead of you, but thank you for the good wishes for the comm. *g*

Even more irony... The under new management info was on the profile, not in the journal posts. /sigh/ I actually considered deleting the existing posts and putting in a new layout just to show people something was up, but I figured best not to tease when I was still plotting out how to organize the new comm and such.

Perhaps once you are up and running here I might find a niche you haven't covered, but for now the comm will have to lay fallow. Oh well... As long as the fandom gets a shot of new life we all win.
