... and a Poll(let) about Fic Recs

[kennahijja]

First,

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO lycoris!!!
And now, for the poll, as always without any of the pretty ticky boxes, because I'm cheap, and poor ;).

How Do You Prefer Fic Recs?

a) I'm not interested/don't read fic recs

b) I don't care what fic recs look like, as long as there's a link

c) I have my own preferences as to what fic recs should look like, and want to see (pick everything that applies):
TITLE/LINK; AUTHOR; RATING; PAIRING; GENRE; SUMMARY; COMMENT ON CONTENT; COMMENT ON QUALITY; SUBJECTIVE COMMENT ON WHAT INSPIRED THE RECCER TO REC; ANYTHING ELSE I'M GOING TO ADD :)

d) I have my own preferences as to what fic recs should look like, and do *not* want to see (pick everything that applies):
TITLE/LINK; AUTHOR; RATING; PAIRING; GENRE; SUMMARY; COMMENT ON CONTENT; COMMENT ON QUALITY; SUBJECTIVE COMMENT ON WHAT INSPIRED THE RECCER TO REC; ANYTHING ELSE I'M GOING TO ADD :)

Thankee! :)

And totally unrelated, I *so* wish the spammers would stop trying to sell me land in Costa Rica three times a day! I much rather fancy some prime bit of ocean-front property in Atlantis, thank you very much!

I second your answer.

If I trust/know&like the reccer, a simple: OMGREADTHIS is enough, but most of the time I like to know why it was so striking, esp, as <lj user=ferretgm) says, if the pairing is one I wouldn't normally touch. A mini-review is a nice way to rec a fic.

I'm with them. *nods*. One thing I like to know is if its a WIP or how many words, just because I read A LOT, and have only so much time. Pairings are a must as well, as I prefer some over others. Evidently. *g*

I hate it when half my message is cut off...

I can't remember what I wanted to say, but it was really intelligent. Damn touchpad.
