Rec'N Roll is back!

There are 67 recs right now. Some new, mostly old. I will very possibly be adding recs rapidly the next few days (weeks?), so if you don't want your f-list to be spammed, don't friend the new update lj yet.

recnroll is no longer the update lj. Though I will keep it up; might need it for announcements and such.

I would love some feedback! And please let me know if there are any broken links!

Until Rec'N Roll is back in business, my new recs can be found here:

Date: 2006-12-27 14:32 Subject: Still Not Back Security: Public

Nobody in any fandom really enjoys hearing a reccer or a writer talk about Real Life when they should just be doing what's expected of them -- I know, because I hate it myself. But I figured posting a tiny explanation was necessary and wouldn't be too annoying at this point.

I have been in a sort of limbo since I stopped working 8 months ago, unable to put my life together or even decide what I want, which basically left me watching TV shows, reading fic and doing puzzles all day every day. Not that it was bad or anything. I do have lots of fun doing those things. The thing is, I don't have the will right now to finish a project. Any project. The website is half done and waiting. About 10 fics I started writing in various fandoms are the same. The hosting has been fixed for some time now, but I just don't feel like putting the site back up.

I've always enjoyed participating in my fandoms. In some ways I feel like I owe them for all the fic and art and general fannish love. So even though I am not up for anything complicated at this point, I thought maybe I should have a simple rec journal where I can just post links to the tons of fics I have waiting to be sorted and formatted and recced at Rec'N Roll. And perhaps later, when I am back to being a normally functioning human being, I could continue putting the website together. (Hopefully soon?)

I don't know if there's still people visiting this journal. But if anyone's here, I'd love to hear what you think. I've always thought there were too many regular rec journals and no need for a new one by me, but it seems about all I can handle, so...

Well. Anyway. I'll make sure to post the link here if/when I decide to go through with it.

Date: 2006-09-18 03:46 Subject: Website Down Security: Public

Rec'N Roll website is currently down due to some hosting problems. I will of course let you all know when it's back.

Date: 2006-08-01 03:28 Subject: Here's the thing... Security: Public

I have finally put together a plan that will allow me to update daily, keep the website going for the foreseeable future and not spend hours at a time working on it. Because while it's okay for me to spend so much time on this right now, it'll be a whole different story when I start school in a few months.

The thing is, before I make the switch to the new system, I have to make some changes to the rec pages I already have archived, which will take some time.

I am going alphabetically by fandom name, and I just finished due South, so as you can see, I have a long road ahead.

I want to apologize for the experimental way I am running the website. I really do hope to put an end to it soon.

Meanwhile, if you have been dying to tell me something you always wished was different about Rec'N Roll, now is the time.

Date: 2006-07-07 20:56 Subject: Over-thinking Security: Public

Would it be too weird to tag recs at Rec'n Roll with del.icio.us, instead of making a new page for every flavor and stuff? Cause I want to add timeline and genre info to each rec and that will take like half my future life. If I could use php, it would be easy I guess, but with html, it's torture.

I could rec 10 times faster if I didn't have to spend so much time coding...

*ponders*


ETA: Okay, the more I play around here the more I like the idea. It lets you do intersections; like showing you recs tagged both with Firefly and Hurt/Comfort. This is better than the system we have right now anyway.

Yes, I know, this is another one of my bouts of endless meddling with the website, but it's so cool.

Date: 2006-07-04 18:59 Subject: Still No Updates Security: Public

I'm in exile (and here's why...).

I have limited internet connection where I am right now, so there probably will be no updates until I am back home.

I'm working on some cool new flavors though. I think you guys will like them.


ETA: I updated the update request list. The next update will be all Smallville if there are no requests.

Date: 2006-06-16 22:19 Subject: No Updates Security: Public

Just wanted to let you know that there will be no updates for at least another week due to some RL shit and me being an unhappy fangurl in general these days. But don't worry, it'll pass--it always does.

I'll be back with some fannish cheer before you know it.

Date: 2006-05-22 06:52 Subject: Official Flavor Suggestion Post Security: Public

I am trying to keep the flavor thing interesting and useful, so with the new layout I removed some old, boring categories. (Violence, Original Character etc.) Meanwhile I have some ideas for new flavors:


Any/All Fandoms

Apocalypse (Before/After/During)
Ghost Stories
Epistolary Fiction (Letters/Diaries)
Detective/Investigation
Courtroom/Trial

Stargate SG-1 / Atlantis

Public Stargate (SGC goes public)

Harry Potter

Veritaserum (Confessions)
Loss of Magic
House Change

Also, I want to have a section in which futurefics and AUs are listed by characters' occupations (which would be the end of the flavors Auror!Fic & Journalist!Clark). It would take a long time to put it together if I do decide to go ahead with it though.

Anyway. If you have a suggestion or request regarding the flavors, please feel free to reply to this post.

Date: 2006-05-22 03:36 Subject: Official Update Request Post Security: Public

The website will be up tonight, all shiny and new, and I thought I'd make this request thing official and permanent.

From now on, I will update this post regularly with the numbers of the recs I have lined up for every fandom (meaning the recs I have written; waiting only to be formatted and uploaded). You can post a reply here requesting a fandom, and I will give it priority, bump it up so to speak.

Date: 2006-05-13 18:17 Subject: Flavor problem Security: Public

I'm adding a couple more flavors to the website along with the new layout (which will be up soon i hope) and I realized that I need one for stories that don't have a happily ever after ending.

Un-happily Ever After? Not So Happily Ever After?

Need something shorter I think. Any ideas?

Date: 2006-04-28 00:31 Subject: Update Requests Security: Public

I have this problem. Whenever I maintain a website, I just can't leave it be. I keep changing the layout, the order of things, the colors... It's my *thing*. I need professional help. Restless Webmasters Anonymous. Or something.

Anyway. Right now, I'm playing around with the website. Not that I'm gonna change much. Just trying to make it a bit more easier on the eyes.

Meanwhile, I have updates lined up.

Stargate SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Sports Night, The Sentinel, Smallville, The X Files


If no one cares, I'll just start from the top when I'm done tweaking. But if anyone has requests, they should speak up now or forever hold their peace.

No seriously. Just let me know and I shall grant your wish.

I know I said I wasn't going to do this, but...

Rec'N Roll website is online and seems to be working well enough.


So, from now on, the actual recs will be posted there. This LJ will only be used for updates notices. And when you want to browse through the recs, it'll be much easier. At least that's what I'm hoping.


I feel kind of nervous about this. I could use some feedback. *glances around nervously*
