Real Person Fiction

Post a comment below to take a turn pimping your (non-Bandom, non-One Direction) RPF fandom!

A week in advance of your assigned month you will be notified with a reply to your comment. During that time, you agree to post a minimum of 1 fic per week in the following format:

Subject: Title by Author (Rating)

Fandom: YOUR FANDOM
Pairing: (no abbreviations, please)
Author on LJ: (if applicable)
Author Website: (author's fics, if available)
Why this must be read:

Emphasis should be on fics that you feel are especially outstanding and accessible examples of your fandom, e.g. it plays on a repeated theme in the fandom, it's a fandom or a personal favourite, it was a controversial fic, it's good smut. Whatever.

Warnings are not required beyond what the author has posted on their own stories.

Note: The only restriction on RPS is for college atheletics. Whether actor, musician or sports figure, they must be professionals to be featured here.

Thanks for playing and remember, kids! Without you, the crack_van will run out of gas!!

I've not driven a van before, but willing to take a turn at RPF (mostly slash) for UK Celebrities? Is that too broad, too rare?

[wendelah1]

Moved this from small fandoms.

I'd like to do RPF: The X-Files. I'll try to do an over-view, too, since one wasn't done when it was first recced here.

I'd like to do recs for football (as in soccer) RPF. I'd be willing to do an overview as well, since there isn't one yet.

Crack Van - RPF - July

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're up for July recs! Please review the posting guidelines (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/1811995.html) and let me know if you have any questions or can't play this month. Thanks!

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

I'd love to do a turn at SPN RPS. J2, Jensen/Misha, etc.

[maerhys.livejournal.com]

I am willing to rec for American Idol, specifically season 7.

[krisherdown.livejournal.com]

I've never done recs but I'd like to volunteer doing tennis RPS. It's been five years since it's appeared here so will need to do a new overview.

Crack Van - RPF - August

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're up for August recs! Please review the posting guidelines (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/1811995.html) and let me know if you have any questions or can't play this month. Thanks!

Re: Crack Van - RPF - August

[wendelah1]

I for sure can't do both RPF and Small Fandoms (Fringe) in August. Problem one: I'm going to be out of town part of the month. Problem two: besides the recs, I'll have to do overviews for both, too. What if I do RPF: The X-Files in August and Small Fandoms: Fringe in September?

Crack Van - RPF - September

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're up for September recs! Please review the posting guidelines (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/1811995.html) and let me know if you have any questions or can't play this month. Thanks!

Re: Crack Van - RPF - September

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

cool! does the fandom overview need to be posted right at the beginning of the month? I do still need to write that.

Re: Crack Van - RPF - September

[twigged.livejournal.com]

No, if you'd like to make some recs before the overview is finished, feel free to. Thanks!

Re: Crack Van - RPF - September

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

awesome! oh, one other question - is this a Monthly Featured Fandom? just wondering how many recs I should be aiming at; the wording in the post is up to 12 except for a featured fandom and then I wasn't sure if this qualified.

Re: Crack Van - RPF - September

[twigged.livejournal.com]

RPF is not a monthly featured fandom but feel free to make a few extra recs.

Re: Crack Van - RPF - September

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

okay, will see what I come up with! thanks again!

Re: Crack Van - RPF - September

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

question - if I have images that I need to be hosted by the comm for my fandom overview, how do I go about setting that up? thanks!

Re: Crack Van - RPF - September

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Just email me the pics and I will upload them to my server under the same file names. Shaggy1 @ gmail.com

Crack Van - RPF - October

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're up for October recs! Please review the posting guidelines (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/1811995.html) and let me know if you have any questions or can't play this month. Thanks!

Re: Crack Van - RPF - October

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

I can't play this month. Could I have November instead?

Re: Crack Van - RPF - October

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. I'll tap you again next month.

Re: Crack Van - RPF - October

[maerhys.livejournal.com]

I can definitely play in October!

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

I had so much fun with soccer RPF, I'd like to go again! XD I figure enough time will have passed when my name comes up that this won't be obnoxious. (or I hope?) can I sign up for specifically RPF of FC Barcelona this time?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_runningmascara/]

i just discovered this community and i would love to help with recc'ing soccer rpf. i'm not sure if this is allowed (if only one person is to post) but i would like to contribute.

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

well, I don't need any help with my month (plus, like I said, I'm planning on just doing Barcelona, which I'm guessing is not something you're interested in), but anyone can sign up! just read over the requirements to make sure you're ok with them and leave a comment to the post itself, and when your month comes up the mod will remind you.
