Recs of any sort may be posted at any time, but in addition we have monthly themes. tardis_library's theme for March is now closed, and here is our new theme for April:

Ninth Doctor // Revival

"If the Doctor's back, if you've seen him... then one thing's for certain. We're all in danger."

It's twenty years since Rose, if you can believe it, so this month is dedicated to the Ninth Doctor and everyone and anything from that era. You can also rec works that relate in any way to the theme of "revival" - or both!

Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 30th April 2025 in your timezone. (See Info & Guidelines for posting template and instructions). Recs posted for monthly themes have their own tag with banners at the end of the year for reccers who posted something for at least six out of the twelve themes over the year. (Just let me know if you prefer not to receive banners.)

When making your post, add the tag "other: monthly theme". (The mods can take care of any other needed tags if you prefer, but a challenge/theme tag could easily be missed.)

Our current Seasonal Challenge is Alphabet Soup, open for posting until 15th June 2025.
