Fond Farewell

It's with much sadness that I announce the departure of stopawhile as my co-mod. Phil helped shape this community from my first brainstorming post back in 2003, and she hasn't missed a day of work since, even after leaving LJ fandom for all intents and purposes back in 2006. She stuck around a lot longer than could have been reasonably expected of her, was always enthusiastic about being part of crack_van, and I feel really fortunate to have had her partnering with me for so long. Please join me in wishing Phil all the best in her real life endeavors! ♥

Cleaned up Sign-up Posts

I've cleaned out old comment threads from the sign-up sheets so it's easier to tell at a glance how many future reccers are signed up. Instead of seeing 3-4 pages of comments on an old full-time fandom, you may only see half a dozen or fewer comments now. Hopefully this will encourage more new sign-ups, since many of our full-time fandoms have been running low.

Adding New Full-time Fandoms

My post last month failed to generate enough interest in any of the named fandoms to add them on a full-time basis. We'll try again after the first of the year!

Retiring Fandoms

Just a reminder that we do not warn before retiring fandoms from full-time rotation. If you want to see your fandom rec'd here on an ongoing basis, then don't just sign up yourself -- pimp to your fandom's general info communities and newsletters, and to your friendslist. The fandoms with the most longevity have been those with one or two people making sure we have a steady stream of reccers. Apply this same advice when trying to add a new fandom to full-time rotation!

Small Fandom Month

December will once again be Small Fandom Month on crack_van. A sign-up post will go up in a couple of weeks!
