Wow. Just posted my 150th rec at ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
stargateficrec. That's not a milestone I ever expected to reach, to be frank.
For the most part, I've had a lot of fun being so active in the community. The mods are helpful and gracious people and most of the community members are equally enthusiastic and friendly. So thanks a lot, guys, for feeding my addiction, and encouraging me to be a part of all this!
So... how can we celebrate? :)
How's this? Leave a link to a favorite story or two of yours in the comments - gen, please - whether it's yours or another author's. I won't make any promises, but I'll review the story here and hopefully include it on my recs list for future reference. I'm still reccing Teal'c and Daniel friendship fics and Sam fics this month; next month, I hope to snag gen and episode related. So if you have stories that fit those categories, now would be a really, really good time to bring them to my notice!
This is also an opportunity to ask something I've been wondering about for quite some time now. If you have a fic posted to your LJ and also to your website, which URL would you prefer a reccer to use? Is it better to send readers to the website, which presumably is more permanent, neater, and better formatted; or would you rather have people read your story at your LJ, where feedback is more or less instantaneous and a lot more likely to occur? And how about readers - which location would you prefer for your reading pleasure? Where would you want a reccer to send you?
Virtual hugs to all the marvelous authors out there who bring some of my favorite people to life, and thanks to those of you who have made the LJ experience so enjoyable.

And that's great if I'm on a site I know I can still navigate without images. On dialup, I hate *hate* hate sites (of which there are all too many) who code their links into decorative buttons where you can't tell what the links are for without the images on. So if I was on LJ, following links to random sites- that wasn't so useful. I found out later there was a stripped down version of LJ somewhere, but the info was irrelevant by the time I got it.
And I have to say- even on a fast connection, there's noticeably more time to download when there are a lot of images. And I'm like, "hey, I'll look at all your pretty photo-manips *after*, just gimme the fic now and no one gets hurt!"

And I do heartily agree that when I'm looking for fic, the only coding I want on the page is bold and italics. Save the pictures and annoying backgrounds for the photo pages, please, and get me to the fic! :)
