Dude, I totally forgot to use and show off this icon in my previous post. This is my present from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
annwyn55! Thank you, annwyn55!
elanorgardner recently invited me to help out with the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lotr_fic_recs community as a co-moderator. I've tagged all the archived rec posts and asked for feedback about the tags list here. It would also be nice if people would suggest challenges we should have. Tomorrow I'm going to post a poll. (Elanor wanted to go ahead with the change I suggested, but I had my heart set on posting a poll so she said okay.)
marathons_etc is a new community in IJ for movie marathons – everybody watches the movies at home and discusses online. They're kicking off this next week with discussions of the LotR films: Fellowship tomorrow (Friday), The Two Towers on Tuesday, and RotK on Friday the 28th. Their rules look a little severe but it could be fun. I guess it depends on who shows up. :)
Yuletide, the obscure fandoms holiday fic exchange, is gearing up for a new season and accepting fandom nominations. Last year I really enjoyed reading some wonderful fics in tiny fandoms like Northern Exposure, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. They also accept book fandoms and historical rpf. I'm very excited about this because I'm planning on participating for the first time this year. People who are planning to participate can nominate up to six fandoms (and later on you'll need to be willing to write in three or four). Official sign-ups and assignments happen in October and the stories go live on December 25. The nomination form is here. There have been a lot of announcements inyuletide_admin this week and you should probably look at them before you fill out the form.
remixthedrabble will be running another round with sign-ups next week. I've had a great time with that challenge and I think it would be fun to get a bunch of LotR fans participating again the way we did for the first round back in May. The remixthedrabble mod, trascendenza, has also run a couple small fandom haikuathons in the past and just set up a new community, haikuathon, for future ones. There may be haiku fests for Heroes and other larger fandoms too.
Speaking of Heroes, there have been some lovely Heroes fics posted atchoc_fic (the Characters of Color Multi-fandom Love-a-thon) this past week, but none so far about Mohinder, who is beautiful and intelligent (at least in theory) and conflicted and awesome. Can any of you rec any good Mohinder fics at me or tell me where to find them? I guess I'd prefer gen or Peter/Mohinder but other pairings are okay too. (Although I often find villains sexy, this has not happened to me with Sylar yet.)
It would be easier to find fics about specific characters in other fandoms ifcrack_van would use tags.
