Giving some thought about reccing

I think I'm going to have to become a lot more selective on what stories I recommend because I'm realizing that I spend a lot of time reccing fics that I enjoy and I liked but really probably won't read twice now that I have limited time to read fics. However, if I only rec the stories that I know for sure I'll re-read multiple times regardless of how much time I have or not...then I'll have very few stories to rec.

Not sure if anyone knows this or not but my main criteria for reccing a lot of stories is if I'm able to finish reading it. (as in it kept my interest enough to finish) The instant recs are the stories where I can't stop reading until I reach the end.

anyway, it's early Sunday I still have plenty of time to catch up on the 20 fics I have opened in my Firefox browser.

Don't do that!! I am a pure unadulterated lurker but I must respond to this...... Your journal is the first place I go when I log in to check for new fic. I rely on you totally most days to give me a nudge toward a good read, and I'm similar, I read most things only once, but I love to read new fic. Don't stop reccing!!

noted. :) I'll keep reccing the stories I normally rec...maybe I'll come up with a star system or not...honestly the ones I really LOVE I gush about and there are sometimes paragraphs. so I think people can get the hint when a story is a must read vs enjoyable and worth reading if you have the time.
