Community Profile

This is a reccing community for Doctor Who in all its incarnations, spin-offs, Extended Universe etc. etc.

Members may rec any type of fanwork at any time, although there will also be monthly themes and seasonal challenges, plus requests.


Rules
1. Be civil and respectful to other community members & no bashing of characters, pairings, fanworks, or creators. No hatespeech or harassment is allowed. (Attempts at galactic domination will also be severely frowned upon.)

2. Works recced must be posted publicly at the time of reccing (i.e. not posted to a locked journal etc.). You may rec works archive-locked to AO3, but please note that in the header info of your rec. Please do not rec works in progress, and no self recs. One user may post a max of 2 posts to the comm per day.

What makes a good fanwork is a very subjective subject, but at base line, please ensure that all your recs are complete and generally comprehensible/accessible as appropriate to the medium. (i.e. formatted & punctuated etc.; in the case of podfic, vids etc., that they are visible/audible, with working streaming/downloading links (at time of reccing); and that artworks are finished, visible, & recognisable as the subject etc.) If reccing a crossover/fusion, it should contain recognisable DW-related content/characters.

3. Works may be recced more than once (although please try to vary things up where you can and avoid repeating recs within a short period of time - you can use the tags to check).

4. You must include some sort of 'blurb' as to why you are reccing the work, however brief. Please include any relevant warnings/content notes in the header template provided, particularly when linking directly to a work without any header/equivalent info. (i.e. spoilers, noting topics that may be triggery - abuse, death, racism/bigotry, non-con etc. Please don't warn for slash/het/femslash etc. or specific pairings/characters.)

5. Rec away!

If you have any other questions, please ask in the comments here. (Anon commenting is on.)
