PSA for this post here
Currently, as of 12/9/22, the poll is still open, but here are some rules regardless of what comes on top:
Suggesting:
You can suggest themes for certain types of recs/rec lists for that week in question via my ask box. (I.e. “Snotlout-based works”, “multi chapter works”, “Snotlout one shots”, whatever.)
You can also suggest specific fics (preferably with links) if you want to see them recommended! Please note that everyone’s opinions are different and sometimes the fic you’ve recommended might not make it on a list immediately or I’ve already recced the fic before.
Asks are always encouraged here, and they will most certainly help with motivation as well as content for the weekly lists.
(ETA: While the main focus is fanfiction, if you ever want to recommend a fan-artist then please feel free! With links of course.)
What I will not be recommending:
My own works (discussion of them will be kept separate from this project)
Works that are recommended by the author and not a fan of the work(s) (this is because this project is about community and fandom and not self-promotion.) (Example: Person A can’t recommend Person A’s fics but Person B can.)
Works that are rated “explicit”. Mature works are acceptable (if they are merely mature and not incorrectly labelled so), but explicit porn for example is not. The same goes for NSFW pieces of art/artists.
AO3 works that have a dozen fandom tags and barely any HTTYD content. (Crossovers also have a less likely chance to be recommended.)
Works that aren’t written in English won’t be accepted because I won’t be able to read them. Authorised translations of an originally non-English fic are fine.
Unauthorised reposts of another’s fics or art.
Works about SH, SA, pedophilia, non-con, rape, gore, etc. won’t be accepted but the first two have a slim chance of being skimmed in case there is an exception to be made.
Works that ship the dragons with their riders. This goes for “dragon-shifter” fics as well.
Additionally, asks/requests with the terms “Snotfang” or “Hicctooth” will be taken with a grain of salt because of the many connotations surrounding the terms. Tone tags are always encouraged.
Questions? / Where to block me:
If you have any questions, I’d encourage going to my ask box so that questions may be answered publicly for communal understanding.
If you don’t agree with the fics I recommend* or the rules established above, feel free to block me at @eemoo1o-tfrmoo to stop seeing my posts, and my main blog @eemoo1o to stop interaction. Very simple.
Asks that bypass these established rules will be deleted. Spam is not appreciated and could either cause a blocking or jeopardise the anon-feature for others if need be.
I work on GMT time so if you find that posts come out the day before or after the day it is supposed to (aka. Wednesday or Friday, depending on the still-active poll), that is why. I also function on opportunistic posting, so a scheduled time is not set, only the day!
Also, if it turns out that I was unable to post the recommendations that day, it may be that I have to post them either a day or two after. I am human after all.
Kind regards,
Your local librarian to-be
