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 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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

Mostly, my question on recs is self-serving at the moment (time, she is crunched right now, as in, none to spare). How does one know if one is rec - recced -OK, I give up, what's the appreviation? Is it checking all the lists, or what?

Snerk. I've got three of those. Plus half a dozen bows, a dozen swords, and the aforesaid trebuchet. No, to be honest, the trebuchet was disassembled for the winter. For some reason the neighbors get nervous about 12-foot-high siege engines in the next yard over.

If the siege engine makes them nervous, they should build themselves even bigger siege engines! Silly neighbors -- haven't they ever heard of the arms race?
