Contemplations
Nov. 15th, 2004 01:23 amI've been contemplating making a rec journal for some time now. I have a couple small rec lists I've made that I would love to make into more and share... however, the problem is while I'd love to be able to rec sf's and non-sf's at the same time, that's probably not a possibility. The two "worlds" as they exist in my mind have a hard time coming together. And though I post and write h/c's in my non-sf personas and talk about general fandom stuff here in my sf persona... I don't know that I'd want to mix that with other peoples' works. Putting links from both "worlds" together in one place seems like a bad idea to me. Yet, there are a lot of SF's I enjoy for much more than just the sneezing and would love to put on a list. (Heck, at times I've thought of making a list of my very favorites, but there are so many LOL) So I don't really know what to do. And this has kept me from writing any rec lists in general. I've not yet arrived at a solution, apart from just not reccing anything from this "community" which is all right. Of course asking if it's all right to rec a particular story is always a good idea in and of itself, as some authors might not want their things getting all over the place (and many writers here tend to be shy about their sneezefics- including myself). And I'm not sure other writers/artists/etc. would want their work showing up on a list where there's so much sneezing. And, yet, I keep coming back to how nice I would find it to be able to put everything together in one place and be happy and sharing and all that. *sigh* Any advice? Right now I think the best solution is just to make it a non-sneezefic rec list (though if anyone from here wants the link, I'd be happy to provide it). But, yeah, any advice?
