tindogs_fic and lotr_fic_recs

I think I'm going to sign up for tindogs_fic, a fic exchange for minor characters in the new Doctor Who. Anyone care to join me? Sign-ups close today! Fics must be posted by September 1st. The sign-ups post is here.

Doctor Who is one of my favorite shows but I've always thought it would be scary to write fic for it because
-there are decades of canon I haven't seen
-Ten is the Doctor I'm in love with but I don't know if I could ever write his voice
-the fandom seems to have an awful lot of crazy shippers (but then maybe it just looks like that from the outside)

Anyway, I don't think any of those things would be a big problem with this exchange, since it's limited to the last four seasons, and most of the requests have to do with characters who've only appeared in an episode or three, which can be reviewed easily enough. The requests that are there look really interesting and are mostly to do with characters, plots, and worlds rather than sex. (Smut is great but it's not what I've been especially wanting to write lately.) I just found out about this today myself and my biggest challenge at the moment is to come up with three story ideas to request. (I can freak out about actually writing the story next month omg.) Anyone have any suggestions?

Speaking of suggestions, there have only been a few comments on the latest challenge over at lotr_fic_recs. We are looking for Frodo/Sam fics, which you wouldn't think would be hard to find! elanorgardner has heroically coded links to all the recs in previous Frodo/Sam rec challenges and we could also use a little help correcting broken story links. If you know of a good F/S fic or two, go here and tell the community about it. We also really appreciate link posts (like this one) in other journals and communities to help spread the word.

(See? I am still a fan. I can post about things other than traveling and being sick!)
