Where do you guys get/post your fanfic recs? I've got my shiny new palm pilot, and I want to load some fic onto it, but I've lapsed in my reading lately and I'm not sure where to find stuff.

I'm looking for: Doctor Who, Buffyverse, House, Smallville, Harry Potter (esp. Remus/Sirius, Harry/Ron, Harry/Ginny, Harry/Cedric, trio fic, gen, or H/D that isn't all angst and woobie-Draco), Firefly (preferably Mal/Simon, Mal/Kaylee or Kaylee/Jayne, or gen) - but if there are general recs communities other than

crack_van, that'd be excellent, too.

rec50, rejoices*

Only spottily updated, but

annakovsky and I run

tall_poppies.

For recs, Bright Shiny Objects, of course, and

unfitforsociety.

OMG, Polyamorous Recs. http://bifictionalbedlam.slashcity.net/recs/index.html

Oooh, yes.

Silverlake (http://silverlake.imjustsayin.net/) is a lovely archive that has loads of fics in like, a billion fandoms.

I get most of my House fic from The House Fan Fiction Archive. (http://www.squidge.org/housefanfiction/lite.html)

crack_van is a good comm for HP recs ... I'm still slowly trawling through it myself (of course it doesn't help that I seem to change my pairing prefs once a week!)

Buffyverse:

su_herald and

chosenfics

Firefly/Serenity:
I subscribe to

the_cortex, but you may also find what you're looking for at

ff_rareficathon (non-canon pairings) and

the_pretty_fits (Mal/Simon)

Since newsletters -- at least

su_herald and

the_cortex -- just list everything they find, I'm often disappointed by the quality of stuff I find there (though they are useful) so I wouldn't use them as *recs* per se.

ff_friday has lots of good fic. I haven't read much of

the_pretty_fits so while I would certainly mention it as a source of Mal/Simon I have no idea what the quality percentage found there is.

To be honest, I rarely read non-Canon pairings so can't really comment on any of those, I'm just passing on some of my resources.
I have to say that I've found some fantastic fics via both

su_herald and

the_cortex. I also get a lot of recommendations from individuals on my F-list, many of whom are writers, and they're usually very high quality works. I'd need their permission, though, to pass on any links :)

Fair enough. I definitely mention newsletters/fic comms when people are seeking fic generally, but since I am so often disappointed by the stuff I find via

su_herald I'm wary of listing such resources when someone is specifically looking for recs.

You would need permission to pass on links? I am confuzzled.

I was thinking of links to their posts of Fic Recs, as most of them are Friends Locked.

Ah, gotcha.

Yeah,

rec50 is my newest love.

I'm probably little help for Firefly (http://www.athenewriter.com/fireflyrecsgrid.html) (though

ff_shiprecs has some recs for every pairing) and HP (http://www.athenewriter.com/hprecsgrid.html) (I don't read much H/D so I can't voich for

dorrie6's recs (http://www.dorrie6.com/emotionalperil/hprecs.php) but I expect she's got good taste), but I've got Buffyverse recs (http://www.athenewriter.com/whedonrecsgrid.html) liek whoa.

I see someone's already mentioned

unfitforsociety and http://bifictionalbedlam.slashcity.net/recs/index.html (Polyamorous).

er, that last link was supposed to be coded as a link to Polyamorous Recs. oops.

Ooh, I really need to check out your Buffyverse recs...

*grins*

my harry potter recs (http://powdered-beauty.net/recs/?cat=2) a LOT of H/R. :)

Woot! I've saved all the fics to my palm pilot, thank you!

http://www.livejournal.com/users/rhipowered/tag/recs has my two recs posts. And http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=rhipowered&keyword=recs&filter=all contains some of the recs there, as well as newer ones I haven't gotten around to posting about yet.

I have two Hartnell recs I posted here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/morgeil/60647.html) and here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/morgeil/63961.html), if you're interested.

I haven't read nearly enough Hartnell-era fic, thank you!

My fanfic recs (the kind where I say why I like the fics) are here:
http://www.panavatar.net/reclusive/
My fanfic recs that I haven't gotten around to writing comments on are here:
http://del.icio.us/lindamarie/

Have you tried

recsrainbow? -- not a recs community per se, but it tracks updates in hundreds of recs sites/journals. My Espresso Recs (http://www.tavia.co.uk/recs.asp) has Buffyverse, plus some Smallville, Harry Potter & Firefly (under Other).

Polyamorous recs, unfitforsociety, my flist, and

orecs are my main sources.

I get Whovian recs a lot of times from delicious (mainly folks like lindamarie, katemonkey, viggorlijah) to see what I might have missed as I haven't been reading every single thing posted in a while. And recs I've logged but haven't written up yet are at my del (http://del.icio.us/ljc/dwrecs).

I haven't read firefly in ages and ages, but when I did, I posted recs here (http://fireflyrecs.diaryland.com).
