Table html and instructions

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

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.

Okay it's wigging me out that no one has given the link to the table on their site...so here I am getting the ball rolling.

(if the ball should not be rolling, let me know and I'll delete this.)

General question about links to the stories themselves (in our reviews):

If we are working with a story on an archive site with ratings disclaimers, how do you want us to handle that? Linking directly to the story usually bypasses the disclaimer pop-up/screen, which the archive site clearly wants used (or else it wouldn't be there). Many authors, on their personal sites, ask for links only to the splash screen with disclaimer.

When I rec on my LJ, I tend to err on the side of linking to the author page or requested splash page, esp since many of my recs are going to be NC17/M, but that's not a direct link to the story. Thoughts? Policy?

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

Good question, and one I hadn't really thought of until you brought it up. Whenever possible, I'll ask that you link directly to the author's story. If there's a request not to on the author's personal site (and I understand in HP especially that there's a lot of sensitivity about this issue), then link to the disclaimer/splash page, but explain that's where a person's going and give any necessary navigational directions in parentheses.

maybe you should edit to have everyone include the fandom/pairing in the subject area to aid you?

That's a good idea, I will do that, thank you!

Thanks! Hey, are you going to do the waitlist? Out of curiosity, we haven't got anyone on it yet.

I just want to make sure I understand...this is my first time doing any of this something100 communities, and I'm a little confused. Why do you put the table up? Just to keep you organized? Or do you link to the posts where you rec the fics IN the table? And do you put the recs on this comm, or on your personal journal, or should I make a journal FOR reccing for this comm? And does each rec have to be in its own post?

Sorry for the slowness!

[nehellania.livejournal.com]

Hi! You answered your own question correctly. Yeah, the table is put up to organize the recs.

Here's how this table thing works. You put up the table in your lj. Then you use the table to keep organized. The table is also used to link back to your recs. When you write up your entry to post in this comm, it just needs to include the header info: title, author, little summary, etc. Then you just leave a link at the end of that to your longer rec at your lj.

The recs are written up in your own lj, so no you don't have to make a journal for reccing in this comm. You can if you want, but you probably shouldn't need to do so.

And I beleive that the limit is two recs to a post.

If you need any further clarification, feel free to ask!

The table for my recs is here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/r_becca/395215.html

Also, on the list of claimed pairings, there's a typo in my username. :(

[aidenfire]

Tell me if I have this right: I copy and paste the table information into my LJ. Then, I make a post containing a rec or two for one of the prompts. I take the link to that post and a href it into the table, so when it's done, all of the prompts will be links to recs?

When I post the header information in this comm, is it also a limit to two per post, or can I put more than that if they link to different posts?

Sorry for the hassle!

[nehellania.livejournal.com]

You're absolutely right on the first part!

I think we're trying to keep the limit of recs per post (here and in your own lj) down to one or two, actually. The way I'm planning on doing this is to make a post in my lj reccing 1 or 2 stories and immediately follow it up with a post to the comm here. That way everything's nice and tidy (you're probably concerned about spamming your lj, but I assure you that I've yet to encounter anyone who'll yell at you because you posted too many times a day. My personal recond is 12.)

And it's no hassle. None at all. If you're still having issues or whatnot, lemme know. (here or if you'd rather, you can just zip over to my lj which I check religiously and leave one there) hope that helped! :)

[aidenfire]

Ok, now that I finally get it...;)

Harry/Draco table here.

Re: Harry Potter, Harry/Ginny

[sadface.livejournal.com]

my bad :)

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

Wait, sorry. I don't think that's it...

The write-up here IS the rec. The link at the end of the rec goes to the story. There's no middle step with a longer written rec on your own comm.

The table then links to the recs you made on this community. I think you've given this whole thing an extra, more complicated step somewhere.

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

Or rather, there CAN be, if you want. But it's not necessary.

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I'm going to amend what nehellania said a little. You're right, the table is for organization. These are the steps:

1. Link the table to your LJ.
2. Make a rec of 1 to 2 stories on this community using the header information provided in the userinfo. Give a link directly to the story at the end of each recommendation.
3. Make a link on your table within the appropriate prompt that takes you back to the rec you made on this community.

That's it. You CAN make a longer rec on your own LJ, but that isn't required. If you have a lot to say, though, and you want to continue the summary/rec on your own LJ, then do that by all means, and add the link in step #2. But it's not necessary.
