And now the question.

I've been listing recs as mixed-up as possible within fandoms -- trying to vary gen/het/slash, pairing, general tone, author, etc. -- so that anyone reading their way through a given fandom's recs would have some variety, and maybe would click on a link they wouldn't have noticed otherwise because it's not in their primary pairing or what have you, but catches their attention when they see it.

That's no problem for a handful of recs, but several fandoms have enough to warrant their own pages, and are probably going to get bigger over time. I was wondering if it would better suit people to sort those recs out by gen/het/slash, and by pairing within that. It's six of one, half a dozen of the other for me -- both methods involve a certain level of sorting while I'm writing recs up, but nothing major.

So does anyone have a preference?

Well, in SGA I don't care if everything's mixed together because I read pretty much anything if it's good. Other fandoms, I'd probably rather have at least a gen/het/slash breakdown.

Oh, and totally on a tangent, my website's changed so your links to my stories are broken. The new main URL is: http://zoe.vaportraces.com.

Heh -- SGA was the one I was most concerned about, since it's the biggest section by far. But yeah, I think maybe I'll poke at sorting them out into basic categories at some point -- things are starting to feel a little unwieldy.

And *facepalm* I actually had your new site up on my desktop to fix the links, but finished the update on my laptop and spaced on it. Thanks for catching it -- fixed now!
