So, you want to take a turn behind the

crack_van wheel?

First, go HERE to see if your fandom already has a sign-up sheet. And, um, sign up!

Don't see your fandom listed? That just means it's not part of our full-time rotation. You can still make recs as one of our Monthly Featured Fandoms!
Comment HERE to get in line. If a fandom overview has not already been completed for your fandom, you are encouraged but not required to provide one. A list of the fandom overviews already submitted can be found HERE.

Think your fandom is big enough to warrant year round inclusion in the community? If you can round up at least eight other reccers, then comment below to claim the first month of recs. A sign-up sheet for subsequent months will be put up when I know a fandom has adequate representation. You also agree to prepare a brief overview of your fandom.

Overview guidelines
There are some great examples saved in Memories. Your overview should include, at minimum:

Pics & Bios - thumbnails and a brief introduction to the main characters
Overview - including major plot points/story arcs
Fandom Resources - major archives, recs lists, live journal communities, etc. People are always welcome to leave links for additional archives or personal recs pages in the comments of your overview.

Picture hosting is available through the comm's moderators, and is preferred if you cannot provide permanent hosting of your overview pics.

Hello. First time possible reccer here. I've heard on the grapevine that crack-van has stopped using the memories to keep track of which stories have been recced. Is there another way being used so there aren't repeats? I just ask 'cause the two fandoms I've signed up for are HUGE! My brain just melts when I look at 535 tags for one fandom(Sentinel) and 729 (Stargate Franchise) for the other to go through when I look at the Recs by Fandom link. So sorry to sound like a lazy butt, but I don't think I've got the time to check the entire tag strings for either fandoms, looking for repeats.

Tags are the only option to checking if a story has already been recced.

Oh, OK. I can actually work around this. I got to thinking and I've only got about 2 years of tags to go through; at least the memories covers everything up to March '08. Thanx again for getting back to me so quickly.

I keep the Sentinel stories at my other site here:

Every story, crossover, and vid ever recommended. I'm a couple of stories behind but mostly I keep it up consistently. It should be self-explanatory, but all you need to do is a Find (Ctrl-F) once you've clicked anywhere on the page. You can do a search by story or by author/artist. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
