New Seasonal Challenge: Mind the Gap!
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 ontardis_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.
