Ow, ow, ow.
I'm in a lot of pain, here. My back is totally messed up, I'm having trouble moving, sitting, lying down... all bad. I've made a chiropractic appointment for tonight.
At least my migraine's gone.
I tried to get my fic recs up last night and couldn't focus because I was in so much pain, between my head and my back. It's for the best, no doubt, as this week the ones I was looking at all turned out to be either not great (hand-confusion smut -- unless I missed something and Giles turned into many-armed Shiva), or absolutely dreadful (one of them literally made me sick to my stomach -- blatant character bashing, misrepresentation of the supposedly sympathetic characters to the point that they were horrifying creatures doing horrifying things that honestly weren't justified...). Ugh. No.
See, this is the problem with archives: either you have a clearinghouse of fic (with the good, the bad, and the ugly all mixed together without judgement) or you have something that reflects the mod's/owner's/reccer's taste (which to someone else could be good, bad, or ugly). Neither's optimal. I don't know what is, of course. *shrug*
Anyway. I haven't had time or energy (or the ability to sit properly for very long) to read further, unfortunately. Next week I'll have a bunch of recs.
