recthethingEvery Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.
This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)
(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)
So what cool fics/fancrafts/fanvids/fanart/podfics/other kinds of fanworks have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.
BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here

Post-Deadline Pinch Hits: 12, 101, 129, 134, 138

Pinch hits are participants who are without creators; pinch hitting is the practice of volunteering to make a gift for a pinch hit. These pinch hits are all due on December 5th at 10:00 PM EST.
Fic In A Box has a very unusual set of assignment requirements: everyone is owed (and is asking for) 10k of fanfiction, which by default can be given as one 10k+ fic or several 1k+ fics. Participants have also had the option to opt-in to other minimum lengths or to other formats of fanwork. The other fanwork mediums are given word count equivalents, which you can view on the medium ruleset post.
Additionally:
- Fic In A Box creators may default after partially filling their assignment—say, if they discover that they can only write 9k of fic—and PHs can be picked up in 1k increments!
- You may always swap all or part of your assignment for a PH, just let us know that's what you're doing when you post to claim the PH.
In order to pick up a pinch hit you need to either email us or comment on this post (comments are screened) with:
- The amount of wordcount you would like to claim (even if you're going to do fanart or some other non-fic opt-in medium! If you aren't sure what the equivalent would be, we'd be happy to help you convert it!)
- The exact username of the AO3 account you will be posting your fill(s) from (if you post from a different account from the one you give us, we won't be able to count the PH as filled unless you update us!)
- An email where we can reach you (you might not be getting the AO3 assignment when you pick up a PH, so we need to know where to send the assignment!)
1 Week Delay To December 6th

One Week Delay!
The reveals date is being delayed one week to December 6th at 10 PM EST (countdown) to allow time for pinch hits to be finished! Updates on the posted schedules and a new PH post will be put up shortly!
All currently assigned pinch hits have been updated to a due date of November 28th at 10 PM EST unless they were already due that day. You may ask for an additional extension to December 3rd!
Pinch Hits picked up from this point will have a due date of December 5th at 10 PM EST.
If at any point you don't believe you can complete a PH, please default immediately. If you do end up being able to complete the PH you can always pick it back up later!
If you're looking for people to treat, don't forget to check the comments of the pinch hitter post (link)! These are pinch hitters who aren't signed up to the exchange, and it would be lovely if some (or all!) of them got treats!

Author: melime
Fandom: Doctor Who (comics)
Pairing/Characters: Kroton the Cyberman & Eighth Doctor

Prompt: Doctor Who (comics), Eight Doctor & Kroton, When did the Doctor stop believing everyone could have good in them?
Spoilers: The Company of Thieves
Summary: The Doctor wants to be someone who believes that everyone is capable of good, of change, and still there are habitual enemies that he won’t extend this courtesy to.
