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.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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

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.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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?

Depends, Deb. Sometimes someone lets you know, othertimes you just wander by and see it and get all jazzed.
It's easy for me, because there's only about 4 or 5 recs sites that cover Farscape, and I know most of the site-owners, so either they tell me it's going up, or I wander by as soon as I hear it's updated.
Buffyverse would be harder cause it's so frelling big.
For me, I am trying to email writers when I rec them, as a courtesy.
