foxrafer [tickles her silly!] later wrote me a gorgeous fic for slashababy and you need to go read it. It's a Sean/Viggo, and it's painfully lovely. :)
I have a silly question to ask. Is it proper fic exchange etiquette to rec your gift on your LJ? I've never done that before but I've been seeing it a lot with all the exhanges at the end of the year. I always read and comment right away, but I wasn't sure about this.
I don't see it happen that often, but from my POV it's only polite to do so. It's like, someone did me this favor of writing me a story, and part of what I give them in return is to pimp it for them on my journal. A story would have to be really bad for me to be unwilling to do that. It's just part of the courtesy of getting a gift IMO.
From another POV, I look at it that I'm doing something nice for someone else. Sure, the story was written for me, but since I didn't write it, it's not like I'm reccing my own story. So no, I don't think there's anything wrong with reccing a story I got as a "gift." Obviously, or I wouldn't have done it. ;)
Oh I never even considered whether someone would think it was wrong to rec, just whether it was wrong not to. You're right, it is a nice thing to do for the writer, to point others their way. Thanks for the insight.
