I book-mark everything I like, then toss it onto my rec-list once I hit 10-20. I find that if I wait too long to update, it's a real chore to write reviews for 35 stories at a crack.

Yeah, some flexibility on double-recs is good, just to keep people from having to read every single fic that's ever been recommended, but it does go counter to the whole purpose of recs: pointing people to new stories.

I rarely bookmark stories because I'd end up with too many bookmarks that I don't even want to attempt to put into folders or categorize in some way. I never read fics in order to rec them--just for my own pleasure. I usually pasted anything and everything into Word so that I could reformat it to a font that I prefer (ariel) and get away from any colors or backgrounds or anything that makes the text difficult to read (too small, dark backgrounds, etc.). If I liked the fics, I saved them with the author's name first, then the title of the story second. I never even saved website URLs because I never thought I'd have a need to go back to them.

When we rec stories, we're only asked to check that it hasn't been recced in the category we are reccing and that's it. I usually check my own list to make sure *I* haven't already recced it and then I check my categories and sometimes also any other categories that I think are likely.
