yet another plea for reccers

[nonelvis]

I know it seems like I just asked for more reccing volunteers, and ... that's because I did, about a month ago. Unfortunately, we only got a few signups, which means we're out of reccers as of May 6.

If you've been reading this comm for a while but have never stepped forward to rec, please consider it – everyone, new and old reccers alike, is welcome to rec. You only need to select four stories that haven't been recced before and that meet the comm's fairly basic rules (well-written/formatted, no bashfic, etc.).

To volunteer, just leave a comment in the sign-up post. And if you can't or don't want to rec for whatever reason, please consider reblogging this post on LJ and Tumblr so that more people find out about the comm. (Special note for Tumblr folks: you can volunteer, too! Ask me how.)

Thanks for your help, everyone.

rec: of songs and stories

[brunhilde-1013.livejournal.com]

Story: of songs and stories
Author: wave_of_sorrow
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 2790
Author's Summary: When River first begins her research she doesn't believe the stories: of blue boxes and girls who waited, of captains that lived forever and medical students who saved the world by telling tales. So she tracks them down, one by one.
Characters/Pairings: River Song, The Doctor (11th), various New!Who companions, Susan Foreman
Warnings: n/a

Recced because: I'm kicking off these recs with a gorgeously cryptic fic about the power of stories.  Like the author says, this is madly AU, but it feels like it could easily have been a part of canon - albeit a slightly dreamlike, more dark-fairytale version.  Stories that manage to weave together New Who with nods to the Classic Era are special favourites of mine, and this does it with a sense of mystery that will leave you wondering exactly what happened and where it leaves the Universe, the characters, and the Doctor himself.
