September 21 is considered to be Ray Vecchio's birthday and is celebrated annually by due South fandom as "Ray Vecchio Day". This is a day to show RayV some love by posting a RayV-centric fanwork or meta or recs related to Ray Vecchio or David Marciano (tag it as being for Ray Vecchio Day 2025).

Posting to the collection is now open at Ray Vecchio Day 2025 Collection on AO3 and a master list will be assembled on September 28th.
