Welcome to Rec the Thing! This is a comm for reccing fanworks you love and requesting recs for fanworks you're looking for. Recs for fic, fanart, vids, and other forms of fanwork are all welcome here. Our definition of fanwork is very loose: if it can be posted to AO3, you can rec it here. :)
We have three kinds of posts here:
1. Recs Posts where you rec one or more things you liked. You can include recs in the post itself, or you can link back to the recs posted on your own blog/tumblr/etc.
2. Request Posts where you ask for recs of a particular type. These requests can very specific ("Vids about Sam Wilson, please!"), very broad ("Please rec me your favorite pining fic"), or anything in between. Other folks reply with recs that fit the criteria. Self-reccing is welcome here, as long as it fits the request!
3. Community Recs Posts every Thursday, where anyone who wants to can comment with recs.
General guidelines:
( behind the cut! )
Feel free to comment in replies to this post if you have questions or concerns!

glitteryvEvery Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.
This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)
(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)
So what cool other kinds of fanworks/fics/fanart/fanvids/podfics/fancrafts/other kinds of fanworks have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.
BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here.
