I've been reccing gen SG-1 fic for a long time now. I first joined LJ back in March 2006 for the sole purpose of reccing at ![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=89)
stargateficrec, making my first entry there on April 2, 2006. (Why yes, it was a teamy goodness fic, why do you ask?) I didn't even post an entry on my own journal until two months later, at the end of May. Unsurprisingly, it was about reccing. :)
( A little background, cut for your convenience. )
Starting next month,stargateficrec is introducing a new change in format -- one that impacts me directly. It's certainly not a bad change! But it is a little different, and I would welcome my readers' opinion.
Instead of getting in line (when there is one) and volunteering for two specific categories per month, I have now been promoted to "Staff Reccer." This means that I can rec in whatever category I wish at any time, rather than sticking to specifics. I can wander from Five Things to Humor to Team to Sam and Sha're friendship to Walter the Chevron Guy, all within a single month.
I like this premise quite a lot. Instead of sitting on fics for years while waiting to accumulate the four-per-month minimum, I can now rec a good story at any time. But since the whole purpose of sharing good fic is to spread the squee to you, my readers, I'm wondering what you would like to see in the future. Would you prefer it if I kept mostly to one category type at a time, with the occasional exception? Do you like the idea of completely random recs instead? Would you enjoy an open post where you could comment and ask for certain types of recs to be made in the future?
I would be pleased if you'd comment here with your thoughts, your ideas, and your suggestions for future tweaks and/or improvements -- even if you just want to say that you'll be happy to see things continue as they are. And as always, I offer my thanks to you, the readers, who enjoy the recs and give me the ultimate compliment of commenting to the authors to let them know that my recs led you to good fic. :)
