forestofgloryHere's what I've been reccing for my rec a day project in the last ten days!
9)For #DecRecs today I"m going to stay with the short SFF and rec the delightful Fandom for Robots by Vina Jie-Min Prasad.
A classic robot pals story about a robot finding friends and community in transformative fandom

10) For todays #DecRecs I'm reccing a reality show AU as told by a recap blog! "start getting real" by azurewaxwing
I love reality show AU's for their combination of forced proximity and performance art.
Start getting real is a modern with magic AU (another thing I really like!). The reality show is called The Cultivation World and participants have to live in a watchtower without modern cultivation aids for several months. I like that this a not competitive set up!
Ouyang Zizhen does the recaps, and his voice is so perfect for this! I love his enthusiasm so so much!

11)For #DecRecs today I'm reccing a sewing pattern! Twig+ Tale's Driftwood Blouse + Dress. I have made the blouse version of this at least 20 times in different sizes for the kid. (and a couple for other kids) This pattern is straight forward to sew. It's lose fitting which is great for play, and the cuffed sleeves mean that I can make it big and sleeves will not fall all over the kids hands. Also great for showing off cute fabric!

12)For today's #DecRecs I bring you possibly my favorite fanvid ever Thousand Eyes by Thuvia Ptarth
This Nirvana in Fire vid is so tense and restrained and yet makes me feel so much! I just adore it!

(Song only, no dialogue, subtitles available)
13) Wellsatsuma recced a Guardian Vid so now I'm having a lot feeling about that show. So today's #DecRecs is going to be a Guardain fic!

A lawyers AU about human rights and doing the small necessary things to make the world a better place. Also cupcakes
14)Day 14 of #DecRecs nearly half way there!
Today I'm reccing a story about good people trying their best in a post-cilmate change world "Pan-Humanism: Hope and Pragmatics" by Jess Barber and Sara Saab
https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/barber-saab_09_17/
15)#DecRecs Today's rec is another vid! Uptown Funk by JetpackMonkey is tribute to the flying swords people of wuxia! It's very swooshy and fun!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/38043790
(Only song, 3mins, no subtiles)
16) It's #DecRecs time again! Today I'm bringing you a favorite story by a favorite author "Flow" by Marissa Lingen
https://firesidefiction.com/flow
This is a story about grief and disability and the value of caretaking. Also magic and geology
17) For today's #DecRecs I'm reccing Tenmokus tea cups. Just look at them, they are so beautiful!
https://tenmokus.com/collections/handmade-jian-zhan-tenmoku-tea-cups
I have two and they were the first really nice tea things I bought myself, and I love using them!
18)On Sundays I always try to spend some extra time studying classical Chinese (and drinking tea) So for today #DecRecs I am going to rec Pleco the Mandarin/English dictionary app!
The basic version of this is free so if you have any interest in learning Mandarin I highly rec it!
I like that it has so many input options, you can write the character, use pinyin, look things up by radicals, and type in English words!
19) Today for #DecRecs I'm reccing “缘起缘未了 | when I see you again” by stickmarionette an F/F retelling of the Legend of the White Snake
This is a really sweet story! I also love that it is set in Hangzhou and full of material culture and historical details!
