Recommendations

I have a recs journal. I'm a bit undecided as to what to put here. Here is a list of general fandom recommendations for the time being.

Communities

su_herald - The Sunnydale Herald. "This journal is a newsletter for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fans to keep up with their fandom. Six days out of the week we post links to what we find interesting in fandom on that day, including: a small selection of the day's quality fics, icons or graphics, various meta posts, and news. It is selective and we try our best to provide good links on a daily basis." This belongs to the mighty Spuzz (hails). I edit the Herald on Fridays and Saturdays.

mutant_allies "This community collects links to reviews, commentary, and analysis of Mutant Enemy productions - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly."

crack_van "The crack_van propagates multi-fandom addiction through an exhaustive regimen of positive and negative reinforcement and mental cleansing. Not really! It's just a place to find everything you need to enjoy new fandoms without fear of bad!fic, WiPs or confusing scenarios.

The goal is a balanced and sustainable recs community serving all fandoms. Volunteers rotate on a monthly basis, and guarantee the community a minimum of one rec per week, of an outstanding fic in their fandom. All ratings, all pairings, het, gen and slash are all welcome."

metafandom This community links to interesting discussions in fandom, any fandom, on LiveJournal. This is my bouncing baby comm and I luff it! (omg!yes I do!) I say mine, I only update once a week really. Co-compilers Cathexys, Fabu and Makesmewannadie do all the hard work, bless 'em.
