HOLIDAY RECATHON: ADVERTISING

[ficwize]

Advertisers:

The following people have volunteered to take the helm when it comes to advertising:

Crossovers – ithildyn
Doctor Who – ladyfiresprite
Firefly/Serenity – tygermama
Highlander – ithildyn
Iron Man – cadenzamuse
Leverage – handyhunter
Magnificent 7 - tygermama
NCIS – tygermama
StarTrek Reboot – cadenzamuse
Supernatural - STILL NEEDS AN ADVERTISER
Torchwood – smirnoffmule
X-Men – cadenzamuse

If you wonderful folks would do me a favor and reply to this post and let me know that you saw it, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll track you down.

If anyone wants to volunteer for Supernatural, that would be fantastic. I do not have the time to manage it solely by myself, so please consider offering to help. There were lots of interested people in this fandom, surely someone is willing to advertise for it. It's easy. Just see below!



What I would like for you to do is snag the appropriate banner from here and drop it and a link back to the Holiday Recathon Main Page into as many communities as you: a) would like and b) have permission to do so.

You may need to seek permission from community maintainers. You may need to seek out additional communities. Hopefully, you're active enough that it won't be a problem.

Feel free to bully pressure your friends to help you. It works for me!

If anyone has questions, please direct them to the Holiday Recathon Main Page.

Ideally, you can spread out your advertisements, so that it never falls too far off the radar, but if you want to do it all at once, then I would ask that you do a second wave of advertisements as the month ends.

I will keep you informed about how many recs we are getting, but it is NOT your responsibility to try and wrangle more. That's just for your information.

I would ask that you contact your fandom's newsletter (which can be found here) and see about linking the Recathon about once a week through November.



Only you can stop forest fires know your flist. If you want to snag a fandom specific banner from here, please do so! If you want to snag the general banner, also from here you may do that!

Please put a link under the banner which will bring interested parties to the main Recathon page.

Feel free to bully pressure your friends to help you. It works for me!

If anyone has questions, please direct them to the Holiday Recathon Main Page.

Banners are located here.

An example advertisement can be found here.

The Holiday Recathon Main Page is here.

If you have questions, please let me know!

ETA: tygermama has written some code for everyone to use. You can find it in the comments here.

Your link to specific banners (in the forest fires paragraph) redirects to this post.

I think I fixed it. Thanks so much for the catch! If you find anything else, please let me know.

Seen! Crossovers, check, Highlander check, but I wasn't doing Mag 7 since Tygermama had it covered.

I wrote up some text area code, if people would like it for their advertisements.

This is what it looks like:

Here's the code to format your recs.
<b>Author:</b> <b>Title:</b> <b>URL: </b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Pairing/Characters:</b> <b>Why this fic is awesome:</b>

This one's for crossovers.
<b>Fandoms:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>Title:</b> <b>URL: </b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Pairing/Characters:</b> <b>Why this fic is awesome:</b>

I'll do my best for SPN. I'm only in a couple comms though so I guess I'll leave notice in the newsletter and cross my fingers.

[ficwize.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your help with SPN.
