tardis_libraryRecs can be posted to this community at any time, so if you've seen something great, post away as you wish!
In addition, however, we have monthly themes and seasonal challenges. Our January theme is now officially closed, and here is our theme for February:
Spin-Offs (etc.)
"I saw amazing things, out there in space--but there is strangeness to be found, wherever you turn. Life on Earth can be an adventure too... you just need to know where to look!" (Sarah Jane Smith, Invasion of the Bane.)
For this month's theme, rec works featuring anything or anyone from the various spin-offs and associated material that Doctor Who has spawned over its 55+ years' existence. It's time for the rest of the Whoniverse to have a chance to shine, so bring out your recs for all the spin-offs and odd associated bits and pieces - Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, Class, Shalka, K9 & Company, the 60s Dalek films, Target's The Companions of Doctor Who, Comic Relief sketches, the Five(Ish) Doctors, the BBV releases, Faction Paradox, Bernice Summerfield's solo adventures in any format, Absalom Daak, the 60s TV Comic strip adventures, Dalek comic strips, stage plays, and the various audio spin-offs such as Gallifrey, Jago & Litefoot, Doctor Who Unbound, UNIT, Kaldor City, and anything else you can think of along these lines. (This list may be long but it's in no way comprehensive!)
(What doesn't count here are the any of the EU ranges that continue the main series - Big Finish main ranges, Virgin and BBC books, regular DWM comic strips etc. Also regardless of how technically correct it might be, it isn't the opportunity you've been waiting for to rec Blake's 7 fic, save in crossovers, of course. Ditto any other major other fandom that may have technically made itself canonically exist in the Doctor Who universe at any point!)
Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 28 February 2019 in your timezone. (See Info & Guidelines for posting template and instructions). Recs posted for monthly themes have their own tag with banners every six months for reccers who posted something for every theme in that time.
When making your post, make sure you add the tag "other: monthly theme". (The mods will take care of any other needed tags, as usual, but which challenge/theme a rec is for could easily be missed.)
The current Seasonal Challenge is a Choose Your Own round and is open for signs ups and posting till 7th March 2019 - not the 7th of Feb as I originally (and very mistakenly) said! So, there's still over a month to sign-up and post stuff if you would like to do so.
Request List
In addition, anyone may make requests for any recs they are keen to see. (e.g. "Fourth Doctor fic, not on Teaspoon," "Cheerful Bill Potts artwork," "Leela vid," "recent Ten/Rose," etc. etc.,) If you are only interested in one medium, don't forget to specify fic/art/vid/mix/icons/podfic etc. in your request.
* Second Doctor era gen fic, any character(s), any genre (auroracloud
* Two/Jamie and Zoe/Isobel fic not on Teaspoon or AO3 (auroracloud)
* Classic Who fanvids, any Doctor/TARDIS team (music, no/minimal audio quotes preferred), especially out there on tumblr/YT (thisbluespirit)
* Twelfth Doctor h/c that's not on AO3 (any pairing or gen) (ruuger)
Simply make your requests in the comments here to be added to the list. (Anon commenting is on.) If you make a rec that fills any of these requests, please add the "other: request" tag to your entry so it can be found easily.)
Any other questions? Please ask here or at the Info & Guidelines post, or PM the mod.

Unfortunately there's flash on the opening page, and you can't see it unless flash is enabled, but it seems to be harmless
