Calufrax reccing

[dbskyler]

I just read a really good story on Teaspoon and I'm reccing Calufrax soon. What a wonderful feeling! :D

I'm also starting to go through my list of bookmarked stories so I can figure out what else I want to rec. I think this is my favorite part of reccing, when I'm just starting my list and there are lots of empty slots to fill. I'm not having to make the hard choices yet, and it's like picking out gifts from a store, traipsing through my bookmarks and thinking "Oooh, how about that one? Or this one? Or the shiny one over there, oh yes, I love that one!"

Later it will get harder as I have to start to weed and swap, as I realize my list is too long (it's always too long) and I have too many recs with the same characters, or of the same genre, or that won't work for some other reason. Then it will get difficult and frustrating and involve hard choices, but right at this moment it's all shiny possibility, and I feel I can rec ALL THE STORIES, and also go out and find more because I've run out of really good crack!fic to rec and surely there's some good crack!fic that I haven't discovered yet? I must go find some and add it to the list! And if I find some other new gems along the way, how marvelous, because have I mentioned that I'm going to be reccing Calufrax soon?

Lol. I feel your joy (and pain!)

I always try to find some new gems when I'm reccing, too, even though there's still stuff in my favourites that hasn't been recced. The joy!

Yes! Although I do sometimes feel badly for the older fics that deserve to be recced someday (and I do intend to get around to them), there is a special joy to a new discovery that you get to share right away. : )

:-) Aw. And I await your choices with interest! When my flist recs, it's usually a good chance to find new fics I'll like.

I couldn't do that part of it last time, and it wasn't nice. (The stories were all ones I'd had bookmarked for a while to rec, so they were all v good - but I couldn't find new ones, re-read the old to double-check, or find ones to put a bit of 'shape' or theme into the week.)

Oh, I think you in particular are really going to like this one I just found. *bounce* *bounce* *bounce*

(Of course, now watch someone else rec it before it's my turn in two weeks. I really hope that doesn't happen!)
