Anybody out there?

I've been neglecting this community way too long, despite some gentle nudging (*cough*ausmac*cough*), but I'm thinking maybe it's time to get things going again. Anyone still interested in reccing? Any stories are allowed to be recced, as long as they involve characters from the Star Wars prequels, and they haven't already been mentioned. We're looking for stories that could be considered classics; more recent stories are allowed, as long as they have that "classic" feel.

I'll take the first seven volunteers, assuming that many people are interested. If you volunteer, you'll be responsible for posting a rec on a certain day of the week for eight weeks. I'm thinking we'll start after the first of the year, since many people's schedules (including mine) get kind of nuts in December.

To see which stories have already been mentioned, see recs by author or recs by title.

Any questions or comments? Feel free to leave them here.

Oooooo, new post!! ::is excited::

What? More recs? Yay! I certainly would do for more recs.

Hmm. She's calling for reccers. I wonder if I should...

What qualifies as a "classic" story, per se? I'm relatively new to the fandom, but have been devouring fics of any kind in fistfuls. Do you mean a kind of plush happy-ending get-together fic?

No, not at all... and I should probably clarify that for newcomers. This community was based on tsflashback and ds_flashback--all of them were created to promote stories in their fandoms that are considered "classics"--the ones that are thought of fondly, and that always come up when someone new to the fandom asks for recs, and that tend to be mentioned when people reminisce about the "good old days." If you take a look at the stories that have been recced previously, a lot of them were written in 1999 or 2000.

There aren't any age requirements for stories, but they need to be stories that are going to hold up well. Stories that people will still be talking about in a year or two. Stories that will end up on rec lists.

Does that help? Thanks for asking!

OK, I'll have another go at it. I know there have been...what, about 220 stories recced so far, but there are over 3,800 stories on the M/A archive, not to mention a fair amount of fiction not archived there. I think we can still find material to recommend.

I might give it another go, being in the country and all.

If you have any new volunteers, feel free to bump me.

If you're still planning on starting up again, I'll delurk and have a go.

If you're still doing this, I'll take a go at it

I'm in. I've been dropping hints too, but I'm not a member so all I could do was comment on other people's posts...

Give me a day!
