Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers  

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Does no one check PolyRecs?

I do. That's where I came across it first. Then I read more widely in the fandom and kept seeing other people prasing it, too.

Shoot me, but... does Poly Recs have its own LJ?

See, I don't like recs sites on a livejournal. I prefer rec pages where the contents are organized as to fandom and type. And I suppose you could filter your recs somehow with lj, but dude, it'd suck unless it was only for recs in a single fandom.

I can't get to PolyRecs at work, and I never think of it at home.

I totally prefer recs pages on their own pages. I have over a hundred people on my friends list, and I'd miss shit if it was just LJ posted. Though I love that the human filtration system is there to mention recs updates.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Where does one look for recs? I sort of assumed they took the form of email.

Yes, I'm ignorant. I also have a crossbow.

Feh, everybody has crossbows. I've got a trebuchet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Deb, shrift and I run Polyamorous Recommendations.

There's also Bright Shiny Objects, also multi-fandom and excellent.

Deb, a lot of writers also maintain their own websites where they recommend fic. And Te has brilliant started an LJ that keeps track of when these recs sites update, and she has links to each site she tracks. It's a fabulous multi-fandom resource. I should send her chocolate or something.

I'm gonna flail and say that it's here. Am I right?

on edit: Score!

Mine's a meatspace crossbow. Not virtual; a real live crossbow, with real live bolts. I don't think everyone's got one of those.

And I can always borrow Tad Williams' trebuchet, if I need one. He's a buddy, he'll lend it.

Rec spaces marked. I'm having the busyness today, and stressing is not good, and today is MS meds night so I'm a wee bit off and painy and cranky and a skosh spaced. pardons in advance if I sound whoofly; this is the MS talking.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

If you want some more rec sites, Deb, email me and I can comb through my bookmarks.
