So, I've decided that I should be much more fannish. Involved fannishly. I'm going to thank folks for the work they do, reccing and such, and directing us to the good things. I'm kicking around the idea of doing recs of the stories that I've read and liked, kind of give a man-on-streets type of review only with boobies. Not the fic of course. Me. Not that my boobies would be relevant to the stories...well, not in a way I'd want to share. I think I might share those instances when I click on a story that normally would make my eyeballs say "I fuckin' hate you!" and my stomach say "SEE YA!" but click because I'm so goshdarn nosy. You know my mantra--NUH, HOW BAD CAN IT BE?

Sometimes, it can be THIS BAD. And sometimes, it's mindbending in a very good, brain-opening way.

So, this is my plan for the Summer of Wailing and Rending of the Garments, or Hiatus for short. Watch this space! Or not, my track record kind of sucks when it comes to follow-through. But intentions! Thoroughly good! A little pavey, but good.

Kisses to you all!

I need to do the same thing. I think that's part of the reason why I created the j2_hs_college comm. I wanted to be able to share my love for that trope in fanfic, and hope that others would join me. (Thanks so much for being one of them!)

OMG! I love your Rambling Roxy posts! *G* I'm trying to pick my favorite part, but I'd have to say all of it. lol

Ok...maybe this: Summer of Wailing and Rending of the Garments, or Hiatus for short.

Loves you!!!! *HUUUUUGGGSSS*

Please note that the world in general appreciates fair warning of fic that is THIS BAD.
I myself also really like recs although I suspect we have somewhat different taste in fic ;)

Sounds like a plan, Stan. I've always meant to write up some recs cos Jebus knows I've tons of bookmarks, but, alas--just too damn lazy. Kudos to you for ambition, hon. Look forward to seeing what gets Snuggles going. ;)

Do it, do it, DO IT! I need a good fic to sink my teeth into.

the more comments and recs the better! Have at it I say!

[dimeliora.livejournal.com]

Yes! Wait are you reccing bad fic that is MST3K bad or like hard to read but super awesome? Because I like both of those things.

[tabaqui]

Heeee! You are just so amazing and awesome and amazingly awesome. :)
*twirls you around and around and around*

Wheeeeeeee!

Aw, bless you <3

I was recently thinking about the lack of recs around fandom in general. I've taken to going through AO3 tags in search of new stuff to download to my kindle, but a lot of stuff that gets the most hits bewilders me... so much mpreg, so much knotting... I like both those tropes on occasion, but seriously, there's so much of it!!!

Anyway, in short... I look forward to anything you plan to rec!

This is in perfect alignment with the intentions, sprouting up all over the place in these parts, to post more, be more active and prove to ourselves and the world that journals are still wonderful places for community and fandom.

Not that you don't already do your part, because you've been such a consistent light around here ever since I joined. But anyway, I love this idea and I will read your Boobs-on-the-Street fic reviews with relish. And, you know, mustard.
