CI5hq Prosfic Advent Calendar

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

This might be optimistic of me, considering declining numbers and world chaos, but let's see how we go... *g*

So along with ProsFandomCards and the discoveredinalj Christmas calendar, we usually have a Prosfic advent calendar - someone posting a Christmas-y Pros fic recommendation every day from 1st - 24th December, counting down the days. If you'd like to see some from previous years, here are some that we prepared almost every year since 2010 (inspired by The Hatstand's Christmas Advent calendar, which sadly stopped posting a long time ago).

If you'd like the join in, please choose a date from the calendar below, and then on that day simply post a recommendation for a Christmas-ish Pros story here to the ci5hq comm. If we can fill up the calendar, then we'll all have Christmas Pros to read (or even just to fondly remember, if we don't have time) in our lj flists every day until Christmas. *g*

Oh, and if anyone would like to make a "Prosfic Advent Calendar 2022" banner for people to add to their posts and make them look more festive, that would be fab... *g* Thank you sc_fossil! Anyone who would like to use the banner to pretty-up their rec posts is very welcome to include it. *g*

2nd December please :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Yeay, two of us! *g*

[cim3745.livejournal.com]

It's going to work :-)

[krisserci5.livejournal.com]

3rd, 14th please

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Fab, thank you!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I can take a date. I'm guessing it doesn't matter if the story has been recc'd before in previous years. I'll take the 13th. Thanks.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Great, all yours! It's always nice to have new stories recced, but it's nice to hear about old favourites too. And Christmas is only once a year, as they say. *g*

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

I could take the 4th and the 16th.

And if you need someone to fill some holes I could also take the 11th and the 21st. :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Great - I've added the 4th and 16th first, and will come back and add 11th and 21st if no one else wants them as first choice. *g*

ETA - okay, I'm back and added you for the 11th and 21st as well. *g*

[harlech1000.livejournal.com]

I can do the 20th 😇

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You are indeed an angel! *g* It's all yours!

[tinturtle]

I can cover the 5th. My list of potential recs is pretty long this year, so I should be able to fill several more dates as needed.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Excellent the 5th is yours! And I'm sure there'll be some gaps still, so... *g*

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

I can do Dec 7 or 8 and 21 or 22.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I've put you down for the 7th and 22nd, hope that's okay! *g*

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

Great.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you - very pretty! Love the font you've used too. *g* Hurrah, I shall offer it as a banner for people to use when the make their posts, if they want to - if that's okay! *g*

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Of course! I'd be pleased if anybody wants to use it. I don't need any credit. Just sharing is good. Thanks for the nice comment!

[tinturtle]

I have a question. If one wants to rec two fics in a series, is it okay to do it on a single day, or should they each get a day?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It makes more sense to do them on the same day I think, unless you particularly want to do them separately. *g*

[tinturtle]

I can take the 10th and the 15th.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Great, they're all yours! *g*

[krisserci5.livejournal.com]

I'll gladly add the 9th, 18th and 23rd

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Okay, all added!

[tinturtle]

I can take the 24th.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Take it where...? *vbg* Sorry - had to be done!

The 24th is all yours. *g*

[firlefanzine.livejournal.com]

The last date please. :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

That would be the 12th December then... *g*

[tinturtle]

If you'd like to have more then one day, you could have one of mine. Let me know if you want to do that.
