Our current seasonal challenge Reccer's Bingo is now over! Thanks to everyone who signed up and took part, and our new challenge will be up shortly.

With honourable mentions to [personal profile] gettinggreyer and [personal profile] auroracloud for recs posted. (If I have miscounted anyone's numbers, please let me know! I did my best using the tags and reccer's notes.)

I shall post the next challenge soon & in the meantime, our current monthly theme of the Fifth Doctor's Era or angst is ongoing - and of course, [community profile] tardis_library is always open for sharing any and all of the good stuff you've found! Please keep up the good work.

Time for our new seasonal challenge:

Mind the Gap!

The aim for this one is to try and highlight areas of the Whoniverse that might have been a little neglected on [community profile] tardis_library so far and fill in or narrow some of the 'gaps' between things.

The criteria isn't rarity as such, merely characters, creators, fandoms, media and pairings etc. that haven't made so much of a showing here. (See below for details.) New reccers are also encouraged to make a post, as this will also count towards meeting the challenge.

The challenge is open from now until midnight in your timezone on 15 December 2019.

How it works:
1. Unlike most of our seasonal challenges, no sign-ups are needed! (If you would like to sign-up for accountability or to claim one particular 'neglected' category, you're welcome to do so in the comments.)

2. Post at least 5 recs that fit at least ONE of the following criteria. (You can check any of your chosen rec subjects against the Tag List. Obviously, these may increase as other people post, so keep an eye on them, though don't worry too much - and nobody will be penalised for any tag failures on my part!)

* Characters: Post recs for characters who have less than 10 (tag) uses.

* Creators: 2 or less uses.

* Fandom: Anything other than New & Classic Who.

* Medium: Anything not Fic, Art or Vid - i.e. meta, podfic, fanmixes, graphics (edited & themed in some way - icon sets, (non-basic) gif-sets, old school picspams, book covers & banners, layouts) & anything else (so far in the other category we've had Tea, interactive games and fan audios) - craft, baking etc.) Probably the major categories we're lacking any recs for currently are podfic & graphics.

* Pairings: 5 or less uses.

* Reccers: 3 or less recs. So if you haven't yet made any recs, simply making two posts for any fanworks you love will earn you 3 out of your 5 recs to complete the challenge!

* Type: The lowest categories here are multi/other (so poly, xeno, nonbinary, AI or anything else not included in the main categories), slash and femslash.


As noted above, recs only need to fit ONE of these at a time. Nobody is has to try and find something that matches on every category! It also doesn't matter which other characters or pairings might also feature in the work, as long as the chosen subject is fairly prominent. (i.e. Nardole has only 3 uses, so a fanwork featuring him would be eligible, but there's no problem if it also features Bill and Twelve who are over the challenge minimum. etc. etc.!)

We're still fundamentally about sharing stuff we like, whatever that may be.


3. Don't forget to tag your rec post with "other: seasonal challenge so that it doesn't get missed.



If you have any other questions about the challenge, please ask in the comments here, at the general comm sticky, or PM the mod. As ever, participation in challenges is entirely optional and general reccing and our monthly themes continue as normal.

Title: Untitled Frobisher gifset
Creator: [tumblr.com profile] cleowho
Rating: N/A [G]
Word Count/Length/Size: 6x tumblr gifs
Creator's Summary: Thought I’d try making a few GIFs which retro-fit Frobisher into some Sixth Doctor stories.
Characters/Pairings: Frobisher, Sixth Doctor, Peri Brown.
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: For the seasonal challenge for Frobisher (although I note, as smugly as Six himself might, that it simultaneously counts for all three characters, as well as creator, fandom & medium).

Few things have made me squee as hard as this gifset did when it crossed my tumblr dash one day: Cleo Who (who does sterling work in giffing scenes from Classic Who on a daily basis) has used the wonders of modern technology to go the extra mile and insert Frobisher into some of Six's adventures. It must have taken ages to get right, and the choice of penguins used for each gif is perfect. (The bottom right one mirroring Six's attitude doubly so.) It's Frobisher for real! As my icon says: these things are better with penguins.

For the Mind the Gap seasonal challenge - this technically counts for all the categories apart from reccers, and Sarah Jane is the only character who doesn't qualify.

Title: (if you knew what i know)
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] bessyboo
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 39:35 minutes
Creator's Summary: And it really isn’t Luke’s fault that his best friend has a hugely inappropriate and aching crush on him, so Clyde should probably stop taking it out on him.
Characters/Pairings: Clyde Langer/Luke Smith, Rani Chandra, Sarah Jane Smith, Mr Smith, K9, Maria Jackson
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I'm not big on the idea of being read to, but when I decided to try some podfics I tried this one. Even though I dislike the Clyde/Luke ship. And yet I liked this. The story really builds up tension between Luke and Clyde, and in podfic form it just sucked me in.
