Rec'd?

Are you likely to be rec'd this year? Why, or why not?

I'm going to say no because even though I wrote for a broadly popular canon, I wrote for a niche version which I think will be inaccessible to casual fans. I think I could have posted the exact same fic outside of Yuletide and still be met with the same response.

I thought definitely not, but according to a bookmark note... maybe? :D

I have my fingers crossed for this weekend! My historical stuff normally ends up out there.

I get nice comments but never recs, so I'm going with no.

I've been anonymously rec'd on FFA, which is maybe the most I've ever been rec'd in an exchange my life, and it feels pretty good I have to say. Writing for a fairly popular feel-good canon m/m movie helps though, and my fic is under 3k, so it's a quick read.

Nah, the fandom isn't wildly popular and the story is kind of weird and surreal.

I almost always get rec'd, and I've already been rec'd. So yes.

Nope. I have the amazing talent to not fall in love with canons that are beloved by people who do fandom in other ways than lurking and maybe writing and commenting on a fic.

I've been recced in two places that I've seen this year.

Doubt it. I only wrote one fic this year, in a small fandom, about characters who aren't that popular.

Hahahhaha, nope. Wrote in two biggish fandoms but my fics are getting soundly ignored compared to others.

brb reevaluating my writing like coal told me to

Both of my fics were already recced. Also, bitched about.

Does a mention in 3T1L count as a rec?

Astoundingly, yes. (Astoundingly because my treat was by far the less impressive of two fics for the same prompt, yet it got some very nice comments from a prolific reccer anyway so I suspect it might make that person's list.)

Not sure because I don't have the energy to go anywhere other than the official rec post on yuletide's DW. Oh and coal. :(

No. I was only able to write one fic this year, and it's in a very tiny fandom. It got an additional hit today! Very exciting.

Re: Rec'd?

One of mine has a good chance. A popular format in a big for Yuletide fandom. The others I would be very surprised to see a rec for. Either tiny fandoms, rare pairs, or both.

Re: Rec'd?

(Anonymous) 2019-12-28 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
One of my fics already was!

Re: Rec'd?

One of mine already was. The other won't be (super tiny fandom) but tbh it doesn't really deserve to be.

Re: Rec'd?

(Anonymous) 2019-12-28 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing no. One of my fandoms is way too small. The other is a big-for-yuletide fandom but doesn't actually seem to be that popular within yuletide, and if anybody gets recced, I think it's going to be the other fic in the fandom - it's a way more reasonable length and also it has sex scenes.

I figured I had a chance since I wrote for a fairly popular movie fandom and had plenty of time to polish my assignment, but I wasn’t expecting much because it was gen rather than Popular Pairing. I was pleasantly surprised to get a bookmark tagged for inclusion in an overall Yuletide rec collection.

I didn't think I would be, but maybe I was? I just got a flurry of comments on a fic that wasn't doing well, but some of them asked why I'm anonymous, so maybe I was recced outside of Yuletide.

I'm really really hoping that I'll be rec'd for the first time in five years of doing Yuletide. If I'm not, I'm still happy with my comments/kudos.

Re: Rec'd?

I've been recced twice across five stories, for two of my shortest but also relatively more popular fandoms. The other three I'm not expecting any recs for, they're all p tiny and one is infinitesimal, but I had a blast writing them and the recips seem happy, so I am too.
