G2 is a team who changed my life. I'm so grateful for them. My pseudo is Kiwy, a huge fan of LEC and others League Competition. Interest in LEC stuff, and now F1 🏁
This blog has received some truly wonderful feedback, including that it is a useful resource, and I am desperate to keep it going.
As you may have noticed, though, posting has definitely trailed off a little bit! That is mainly because I am just one person, with a busy job and a few new hobbies to contend with.
I am, therefore, looking for 1 - 5 volunteers to help me with the research, requesting, and formatting of this blog. If by some miracle I am inundated with requests to help, I may not be able to take on everyone, as this would become hard to manage.
Please see below for full details. It is really important that you read through the Important Points section before putting your name forward. 😊
What would I be doing?
You would be putting forward fics to include on the fic rec lists on the @f1crecs blog, based on a given prompt. This could be a pairing (maxiel/piarles/strollonso) or a trope (soulmates/coffee shop au/canon divergence). This would include you selecting a favourite quote from the fic, as well as a brief summary of why you enjoyed it.
How would it work?
🔸️ We would communicate on a Discord server.
🔸️ I would receive requests for rec lists through the blog's inbox, and share them in the Discord server.
🔸️ We would have channels to work together to compile the lists.
🔸️ We would decide together on a banner image and any other text needed.
🔸️ I would format the post and publish to the blog, crediting you in the body of the post.
🔸️ I imagine we'd work on five or so requests at a time, dependent on numbers. 😊
What pairings do you need help with?
All of them! I am looking for support with all pairings and tropes - I believe that rec blogs are stronger when run by a team, as they have more eyes and are less likely to forget or miss something. 😊
Due to gaps in my knowledge, the areas I need most support on are:
🫂 Maxiel and Lestappen fics
🫂 Sebastian, Daniel, Valtteri, Mick, and Lewis centric fics
🫂 Rookies fics (Oscar, Logan, Nyck)
🫂 Gen fics
But as I said - whatever your favourite pairing, you are welcome here and your knowledge will be much appreciated 🤍
Important Points
‼️ I ask for permission from EVERY author that I want to feature on a fic rec list. By joining the blog team, you would agree to do the same. If we are not given permission to list the fic, or if the author does not respond within one week of our request, the fic does not get included on the list (or any future list). You will be given a template to make these requests, to make this easier. 🥰
‼️ When compiling the lists, I include my favourite quote from the fic and a couple of sentences about why I enjoyed it. Please consider if this is something you'd be willing to do.
‼️ I have all kinds of pairings and character requests come through to the inbox. f1crecs is a neutral space, with no driver, ship, or trope hate allowed.
‼️ This blog is f1 only. At least one person in the pairing must be, or have been, in f1 - or, if gen, the central character must be or have been in f1.
How do I express interest/ask questions?
Message the blog (@f1crecs) or send me a quick inbox by 3rd November. Thank you!
We’re back from a successful appreciation week to bring you guys one more special event.
Guess we can all agree that there’s no such thing as ‘too much Chalex content’, right? With that in mind, why not join the talents of our amazing artists and writers under one collaborative event this time? We’re happy to invite you all to join the CHALEX REVERSE BANG 2020!
Reverse Bang? How does it work?
The main point of this event is to encourage our artists and writers to work together! So this is how it goes: artists are free to let their imaginations run wild and create their Chalex-themed pieces. Once they are submitted, writers will have the opportunity to choose one art that speaks the most to their inspiration and write a companion story based on it.
Hmmm, interesting. When is this taking place?
We’re kickstarting applications on August 13th. Artist will have time to submit their work until the 3rd of September, our deadline for writers will be on September 29th. We have a full timeline planned to give both artists and writers plenty of time to work — we’ll explain it in detail on upcoming posts.
Ok, cool! How do I submit my application?
We’re opening subscriptions for artists and for writers, so everyone will have a chance to be a part of this project. Keep an eye on our next posts! We’re bringing you the rules, the detailed timeline, and the application forms — everything you need to know to be a part of this amazing event.
Stay tuned for our next updates, we’re coming back soon with further information about subscriptions and deadlines. Get your creative skills going, Chalex shippers! We hope you all have fun and enjoy the ride.
I have an idea for artwork, can I start now?
We’ll be posting the rules and regulations in a bit, but as long as your idea is safe for work then go for it! You can sign up once we open registrations.
