Calufrax reccing
May. 10th, 2012 11:49 amI 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?
