There are the fic and vids that get tons of comments and recced and nominated for awards... and then there's the rest.
Here's the plan: if you wrote or created something in 2007 that you were really proud of, but you're pretty sure that no one other than maybe your mother read or viewed, then rec it in the comments. Tell us a bit about it, and include a link, of course. And if you enjoyed something this year by someone else that you thought didn't get nearly enough love, then you can rec that too. And it doesn't have to be confined to LJ postings. (If you aren't positive the story or vid you want to rec was created in 2007, that's fine. It's not like I have minions that are going to go check!). Or you can rec your own stuff and someone else's! And more than once too! I'm easy.
I figure it will provide some entertainment for those of us who aren't going out for the holiday, and spread some New Year love around for some of the lonely creative endeavors out there.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, so don't be shy!
And hey, even if you did get love, there's nothing wrong with being an attention junkie, so pass on whatever you'd like even more love for. We promise not to tease you.
Last year's is here.

I did quite well, in terms of feedback, this year. There were a few fics that didn't do well on livejournal, but did well elsewhere (my Dark Angel story springs to mind.
The one WIP I didn't get a lot of feedback for was my Veronica Mars/Highlander story Dead Ahead (http://jinxed-wood.livejournal.com/29694.html#cutid1). I guess it didn't catch the reader's imagination and, as I have other WIPs that people

There is a third chapter in the works (i.e. I've already started it) and I'll make a promise: my next update is a 'Blue Sun Rising' chapter but the update after that will be 'Dead Ahead' :-)
