Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I keep thinking I need to put together a recs page on my website. I'm not too worried about anyone getting offended by my including them or not. I haven't read everything, and my critieria for recs would be so utterly subjective that anyone else's offense would be like they're being offended that I don't like mushrooms on my pizza or something.

Yes, I know, there are those sorts out there. I think they write the reviews on ff.net. No, that's just mean, I've gotten some very nice reviews over there, all the more precious because they stand out more.

Heh, you would hate me as a reader, I almost never review, even if I like something.

Plei, thanks for the links. I had BBFA bookmarked, but hadn't joined the list. I have now. Also, Polyamourous has some of my fave authors, so I'm sure I will find more I like.

Just counted my bookmarks and I have over 70 sites linked. Maybe I should start my own rec site.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I could probably start a website, had I webspace, coding skills and inclination. But everything I read I find at other rec sites, so it would be sort of redundant.

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.

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.
