More Recs!

[risti]

So, a couple of weeks ago I stumbled across idolmeta and thought ooh, a writing meta comm, that sounds fun because anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that I like to ramble on and on about the process of writing, and generally over-analyze my own style, technique, and habits

Of course out of all the links on that post I end up at the Pirate-to-English Translator. Yay me.

Hey random questions re: believe_in_glee - if I finish drafts of my first two chapters of "Glee in Space" can I post them there to be ripped to shreds?

[risti]

Go right ahead! Post them in a members-only post, and we'll make sure someone takes a look at them!

god I cannot thank you enough for reccing this comm, it's like my geeky heaven with a side of AI goodness. I'm going to spend the next few years going through those links now though, my god!

it's like my geeky heaven with a side of AI goodness.

I KNOW! Honestly, I think it's this comm that has made me realize oh, yeah, I could get really comfortable in this fandom....

[acquiescence_]

THIS. SO MUCH. This is really becoming the fandom I've been waiting for.

thanks so much for reccing "orbedrowned in blissful confusion". i started reading it in the kinkmeme, but lost track of it. i'm thrilled to find it again! :)

Yay! I'm glad to help! It's just such an adorable little fic, I want everyone to go shower the author with love!

Oh thank you for that rec!! Most of the Kradam you've recced thus far I've already read (although not always commented - I need to work on that) because I'm obsessed, but that one I had missed. And it was SO good. I'm sad it's a WIP, but I guess this way the goodness is dragged out a little.

[risti]

I'm glad you liked it! Isn't it adorable? This fandom has a pretty thorough rec system which makes most of the good fic pretty easy to find (check out this and this if you weren't already aware of those rec lists, because they have everything - and talk to me about being obsessed once you can scroll through those lists and realize you've read pretty much all of them...), but that fic has slipped under the radar, probably because the author is kind of a mystery. I want to see if I can get enough people to comment on it so that they'll come out of hiding, though...

[jenepel]

Oh no, I really meant it when I said obsessed! :) For completeness, I've been working my way down that Yeats one (and several other recs/delicious) and I would say at this point I find a fic every ten or so that I haven't read. I just really really suck at commenting (I have this weird thing about how it has to be a GOOD comment and I'm extra bad when there are a million already) so you wouldn't know it to look. I am trying to get my own delicious properly updated, but right now only a few are in it. Instead what I have is a google doc with fics to rec/ fics to read/ ship manifestos/ essays/ picspams/ etc. It's getting out of control. (Let me show you my crazy...)

You seem really nice and I like your writing and I want to see you talk about your writing, so is it cool if I friend you?

[risti]

Yay friends! *friends you back*

[amproof]

Yay!!
