It comes to my attention that that fine Livejournal institution Calufrax is again on the point of running short of reccers. I speak as someone who was late getting into the reccing game myself - don't be the fool I was! If you read or post Doctor Who fanfiction on the A Teaspoon And An Open Mind site, it behooves you to support this valuable comm

Have you signed up?

[jjpor]

I have. To both. I wouldn't ask you to if I hadn't... ;)

I'm a very bad reccer. I don't really read much of anything outside my own flist, so I'm afraid it would come across as a bit repetetive. I'm also pretty limited in what sort of pairings I read etc :P

[jjpor]

I know what you mean. I think I tend to read a lot of stuff by the same authors and similar sorts of themes. If anything, since I've started reccing I've been reading more widely in order to find stuff to list, so it's good in that way too, I think. :)

Sort of like me going through the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, I suppose. I already reposted the whole ACTA thing from somewhere else :)

ETA: Oops, already mentioned the petition.

[jjpor]

I think trying new things is rarely something you end up regretting, really. More hits than misses, anyway.

[jjpor]

Although the petition thing is UK only, unfortunately (although, as a student over here...?)

[akashasheiress]

I signed that one as well. You just have to reside here.

Oh, good. I wondered if it'd be something like that. Now, whether HM Govt bothers reading their petitions (they never gave Bob Paisley a posthumous knighthood that time)... D:

All the cool kids refuse honours, anyway: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16736495 (or send them back, as in Lennon's case).

[jjpor]

It'd be nice to have the option, though, wouldn't it? ;D

[akashasheiress]

Yes, so you could refuse them!

[jjpor]

Well, yeah. ;D To be honest, though, the Paisley a thing was more another chapter in the piquant LFC-MUFC rivalry, along the lines of, "if Alex Ferguson has got a knighthood, why hasn't...?"
