There is one more Pros post to make before the trifecta/hat trick of Pros lj Christmas activities is complete - the Prosfic Rec Advent Calendar, where a seasonal Pros fic is recced every day until Christmas. The first one was posted in 2010, and I didn't do one in 2018, so that makes this our tenth anniversary. You can see the nine other Prosfic Rec Advent Calendar Indexes here.

A Pros fic recommendation based around a Christmas/December theme is made and posted here to

ci5hq every day in December, counting down to Christmas. The idea is based on the Hatstander's Pros Advent Calendar of many years ago, posted by then-

nellhowell, and much missed.

Anyone who fancies it can join in by choosing a day from the list below - don't tell us what fic you're choosing to rec, because the fun of an advent calendar is the surprise! All you then need to do is post about a fic on that day to help keep us all cheerful through the dark months (or the blazing hot months *waves to Southern hemisphere and elsewhere that doesn't shiver*). That way, we get a Pros story popping up in our flists every day until Christmas. *g*

Recs can be long or short - you can just post the title and link if you like - and the stories can be long or short, it doesn't matter. If you've got a favourite snowy-Christmas drabble, then it can be recced in the calendar, on the day that you choose. All we need is a link to the story (or information on where it can be found, although if it's not online then people might not be able to read it), and a heading for your post, and we're away (you can check previous calendars via the links above and below, to see how people have done it before).

That said, reccers can post anything they like to accompany their story recommendation - pictures, music, thoughts about the story, an invitation to discussion, the drink they'd best recommend to accompany the read... *g* Do have a look back to previous years here via the Christmas tag if you'd like to.

The only rule for the fics that are recced is that they must be Christmas/December seasonal in some way!

So - would anyone like to play? *g*
