Starting February 1st, we'll be having a monthly book club here at Hidden Gems. Two stories from each of our focus fandoms will be chosen, one long fic and a oneshot. Recommendations start around the second week of the month with a poll lasting for the last week. So, the last week of January, we'll be having our first poll for everyone to vote in. The chosen stories will be announced on the 1st of the month with discussion happening in the last week.
First Rule of Book Club: No one talks abo-- No, wait, yes, talk about Book Club. Talk about it a lot, though not in a way that spoils the selected stories.
Actual Rules of Book Club:
All stories must be complete. Long fanfics must be between 20,00 to 300,000 words. Short fics are 20,000 or shorter.
Any story that is part of a series must either be the first in that series, unless the one before it has already been chosen as part of Book Club.
For the Spuffy fanfic recommendations, please remember that according to our site rules, Hidden Gems does not consider All Human fics to be Spuffy.
Can the same thing be recced more than once?
If something ends up recced by more than one person, it isn't going to impact anything. It'll still just be in the poll once. For future months, only recommend things that haven't been recommended within three months. If something was popular in the polls, we'll automatically put it back in for the next poll. If it wasn't give people time. If something is selected for Book Club, please wait 12 months before recommending it again.
