It's almost time for the start of a new round!

But first, a huge thanks to our current group of reccers, who have done a terrific job. By my count, [livejournal.com profile] kyuuketsukirui is short by two, and [livejournal.com profile] elance, [livejournal.com profile] jadyn and [livejournal.com profile] marzilla are each missing one. If you could get all eight in by September 20, that would be great; otherwise I'll keep your posting access open until you're caught up.

Also, I got the memories up to date today. Please let me know if you notice anything that's missing or incorrect. (And I'm hoping those updates aren't going to disappear once LJ gets its memories problem straightened out.)

The next round of recs will start Tuesday, September 21, and end Monday, November 15. If you're interested in volunteering, please comment here. Be sure to include an e-mail address and which day(s) of the week you'd prefer, if any. The first seven people to comment will be chosen.

Any stories involving prequel-era characters are acceptable for this group--gen, het and slash are all allowed. We're concentrating on stories that are generally thought of as "classics," mostly from the early days of the fandom--newer stories are allowed, as long as they have that "classic" feel. At this point, if you're thinking of volunteering, you might want to check what's already been recced to make sure you can come up with stories that haven't been mentioned. You can get lists of recs by author, by title or by date from the [livejournal.com profile] tpm_flashback page, in the left-hand column.

I've been dithering for weeks about whether to permit people who have already been reccers to volunteer for a second go-round. And the answer is... yes, but you can't do it twice in a row. So reccers from the first group are eligible again, but the second group will have to wait eight weeks. I hope that will be fair to everyone.

Holler if you have any questions. Happy reccing!

i think i still owe five, is that right? i have a note somewhere where i'd decided on at least two or three, and i can't lay my hand on it right this minute ... but i'll get it done before the end of the month.

:-D

I have been really busy with work and have come to the point where I haven't any recs off the top of my head, so I'm having to read through a bunch of stuff and see whether it's rec-worthy or not, which is making the whole process take much longer. I hope to have recs 6, 7, and 8 all ready to post by this Friday, though.

That's cool. Just wanted to let you know I was keeping track myself and hadn't forgotten stuff.

I actually have a break from work today and am frantically reading and trying to get these last recs done before stuff gets busy again. :p

*nervously raises hand*

I'd really like to get in here and join in the reccing goodness. I've got at least four things that leap to mind immediately, and to my astonishment very few of them have been taken yet...

So can I have Tuesdays? And also, I'm going out of town next week, so would I be able to post the first one early?

D'oh. Forgot to include an email address. helens @ queerasjedi.com (btw, if I needed to change my address on the fics in the MA archive, how would I do that? We're talking about getting rid of Verizon, so the helens.jk @ verizon address may not be good forever.)

I would like to volunteer, and I'd prefer a weekend, Saturday or Sunday.

I'd also like to put in Gloriana's name, as she's on a trip and probably not checking LJ regularly. But I know she wanted to do it again and she should be back around the time the next group starts.
