You're right in a way, Holli. But most of my sites I've gleaned from recs on multiple sites, not just one site. I like to think I've got the creme-de-la-creme of Spike/Spuffy fic listed. I wouldn't set myself up as comprehensive, just very special interest.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Mine would hardly be creme de la creme, more "This one made me laugh/cry/feel all warm and tingly". More a fic-Rorschach of me, rather than any attempt to say "These are the best things out there." YEs, half the reason I don't do it is because I'm afraid people will say, "That piece of drivel/schmoop/unrepentent mush?"
As for coding skills, my website is built off of Front Page, no mad coding skills involved--and it probably shows. But it's out there, and that was more important than having it look really, really good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I used to worry about fandom politics and reccing. Mostly, it's just too exhausting. What goes up at PolyRecs goes up, and people can deal.

Exactly. I pick and choose. Everyone does. If I can't find what I want one place, I try another.

Plus, we've got over 1000 stories up there, so anyone who can't find *something* to make them happy has deeper problems than the fact that I don't read MPREG or RPF.

MPREG or RPF
Decode, please? I'm guessing MPREG is male pregnancy? The other, not a clue.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Hee.
I'd feel that way, Dana, if I hadn't just narrowly escaped getting caught in a shitstorm.

RPF--Real Person Fic, where you play games with the actors rather than characters (or with members of boybands).

Thanks for all the fish.
RPF is real person fic. And you're right about male-pregancy.

MPreg = Male Pregnancy.
Oddly, I may ping a BNF in the BVerse relating to a potential project that could in theory fall under that heading. Maybe. If I remember.
RPF = Real Person Fic.
Which is generally actor fic or boyband fic, unless you are me, in which case, it's The Many Loves of Henry Kissinger. Don't ask. It's a thing.
