In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

This is a hilarious romp with Elrond, Gorfindel, and a third Elf named Gilfanon, as they make a journey into the desert of Valinor. The things Elf Lords will do when their wives are out of town and they are bored. Alcohol and hallucinogenics may also play a role!

A lovely drawing of those three sharing a smiling moment together.

Tolkien's Triumph: The Strange History of 'The Lord of the Rings' by John Lennard
A fascinating essay on how LotR came to be, and all the rather unusual coincidences that combined to make it popular, as well as a nice section on why and how it has inspired so much fanfiction.
