Next Gen Cross Gen Lovers!!!

[marguerite_26]

It's free flying month at crack_broom!!!

That means you folks that have sighed about not being able to rec next gen cross gen on Crackbroom (myself included) should do it now, dammit. It's easy! Just pick that one favourite fic that has been sadly missed on crackbroom because the pairing is so rare or the reccers never seem to have the same taste as you, make sure you check the tags to see that it hasn't been recced!!! and post your rec.

It will be double checked by the mods for tags and stuff, but it's a free for all!!! Go rec.

Details here

Oh, thanks for pointing this out! I've been meaning to be better at rec'ing and sign up and this is a great way to try it out.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Yay! just be sure to use their format and tags and stuff. They are very particular on how recs need to look. :D

[snegurochka_lee]

Oh yes, good point! This is a field that seems to get particularly forgotten, since we have to wait for our turn with specific rarepairs. I can't wait to come up as Rarest Recc'er. *rubs hands* :)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

YES!!! EXACTLY!!! I have my list ready for name to FINALLY come up on that rarest reccer queue and I've got only one for each of my fav rare pair author's, right? so YAY! this is like a little freebie. :D I just need to pick now. :/

I'm not sure I understand what rarest reccer means. :)

How rare is rare? Teddy Lupin/Theo Nott rare? Or two characters who only exist in JKR story notes and never made it into the books rare? :)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I believe rarest reccer is any pairing that is not in their list of 'reccable pairings' (that list is in their profile page)

So teddy/james is not 'rare' because it can be recced as 'nextgen'

but teddy/Harry IS rare because it cannot.

i think.

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Can't Teddy/Harry be recced as crossgen?

[hereticalvision.livejournal.com]

How to pick just one, though...

I'm in the rarepair queue for Ginny/Scorpius btw. Hoping NGDF yields some more goodies :D

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

YAY! Ginny/Scorp!!! I hope to one day write that pairing... *sigh*

but I um... one of your NGDF Ginny/Scorp prompts won't be written in time for NGDF. *bites lip*

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

Oh, there were quite a few, as I remember...

[hereticalvision.livejournal.com]

...I may have a slight obsession in that department, it's true. ginnyscorpius!

[hereticalvision.livejournal.com]

I'm certain it will be worth waiting for babe! *squishes you*
