Tell us which benchmark you've hit, and let us praise you copiously and bestow you with gifts!

Be sure to put your final benchmark only. So if you plan to make it to forty, don't tell us when you've reached ten, twenty, thirty, etc. Just the final tally. Link the table or post with your list of links here so we can verify your progress.

Go here for your benchmark banners! Be sure to leave me a message here when you do, so that we can put you on the final list at the end of the round.

Table html and instructions

The table is just a way to help organize your recs. Link it at the beginning of each rec post so that anyone interested in checking out your other recs can see it.

Some clarification...

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

Just clarifying something that I don't think I made explicit enough, before more people make this mistake. When making your tables or your list of links to show us as a final product, you SHOULD NOT link directly to the stories themselves. Instead, link to the recommendations that you've made on this site. Why? Because you didn't write the stories (at least not all of them). You wrote the recs. That's what we're giving you credit for doing, so that's what we want to see. The recommendations will have links to the stories within them, so anyone interested (after reading your wonderful recommendations) can get to them that way.

I don't think I made that clear, and it's my fault. I hope I've clarified it in enough time to stop people from getting too far along in the process.
