I've only skimmed the comments that kick off each thread and this is me speaking just as me, not for all of the mods: I don't like the word 'best' unless it's followed by 'bar'. I love that we have a community where everyone who contributes in any and all ways is celebrated, even if just be being here. By all means, lets rec the things we love. There are, after all, LOTS of amazing and wonderful things here to be loved!

There's a lot of mention of rec lists. I myself tend to consider the 'fanwork' tags as themed rec lists, the all the things fridays, and the whole bar as recs list :) I understand that can be overwhelming and I know there's often focus on what's posted here and not elsewhere, so: when the bar kicked off I tried to do rec posts of things that I'd seen in places outside of this bar, from AO3 and tumblr and pinterest and all over the show. I haven't had so much time to do that lately, but everyone is always welcome to post recs and rec lists and to ask for recs and to share the things that they've found, on here or elsewhere.

All the things friday was originally set up as a 'pick a theme for recs' day, where we said things like let there be AUs and lo, all things AU were recced and discussed and new things were written, and all things friday can still be that and anyone can sign up for it. Ask workerbee73 if you can host a friday - she usually manages sign ups.

Us mods are always open to ideas and suggestions, and I'm just going to email the rest a heads up about this thread, and maybe doing another all the things sign up sheet or something, but my intial reaction is that we already have celebration happening and I don't think we're exhausted it just yet :)
