latest update, march 2008:

stories are divided by fandom and consist mostly of slash. all links lead to works of fiction which may include sex, violence, homosexuality, borrowed fictional characters, and real people. navigation at top leads to separate pages for fandoms. "other" includes (among other things) csi and csi:ny, the dark is rising, jay & silent bob, jeeves & wooster, master & commander, rosencrantz & guildenstern are dead, popslash and other rps, the sentinel, sherlock holmes and smallville.

moving to del.icio.us:

I am in the process of synchronising my recs site with my fiction bookmarks at del.icio.us. The tagging system there allows bookmarks to be sorted in every possible way, which makes browsing them, or using them to search for something, much easier.

Currently my Due South, Good Omens, Highlander, Harry Potter, The Professionals, Lord of the Rings, and Lord of the Rings RPS recs pages have been moved there and sorted by pairing; all my Life on Mars, Doctor Who/Torchwood, Bandom, Heroes, Prince of Tennis, and Hikaru no Go, plus several years worth of Yuletide reading are also there.

As I move the rest of the recs pages there, the original pages will come down, but they won't stay gone. After all my bookmarks have been organised over there I will start rebuilding this recs site from scratch in a smaller, more stream-lined version, with more commentary and summary for a smaller number of recs. My bookmarks will continue to be updated indefinitely at delicious as well, with the stories appearing here tagged "rec" (although this tag is not complete now, since I haven't decided yet). Feel free to subscribe, although for the next little while that account will be high traffic as I continue playing catch-up.

Other recent recs news include the baby fandoms Hot Fuzz and Die Hard 4, which boast only a few bookmarks each, but they're young yet; I hope to see them grow more! I also spent a while dabbling reading what you might call "punditslash", a funny little corner of RPS focused around The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and its spinoff, The Colbert Report. The fandom itself includes other pundits such as Anderson Cooper, as well as TDS staffers, but Stewart/Colbert is the big OTP in the little pond. You'll find a few bookmarks under The Daily Show.
