Democratic Fic Recs and Cut-Tags

[icarus]

Helllo, friends list.

At least one person has asked me to use a cut-tag for these recs when I put them up. I respected that and did so. Then another asked 'do we have to?'

Hmm.

Now it is standard to not use cut-tags for recs, but I did put up three looooooong posts of them in one day. I'd also rather not use the cut-tag (it sort of defeats the purpose of recs), but I'd also rather not annoy my friends.

I'll tell you what. If I promise not to post more than one of these per day, can we avoid throwing down the gauntlet and challenging me to a duel? Waddya say?

If you leave a recs post uncut, I don't need to open up the comments page on your calendar (which is how I've linked to this project on my sidebar) in order to get to the fic. However, each post is about six hours of reading, so more than one or two a day is sort of frightening, whether they're cut or not.

For general posts, my rule is that if I have to scroll down twice or more, cut it, although I admit that I'm most comfortable when I can cut my posts to one screenful or less. Notable exceptions include very important rants that you want everyone to read. However, for these recs posts, I don't mind them uncut at all, for the reasons I've already given.

Oh, now this is a very good reason not to cut them.

I think I'll not cut, but see to it that these are one scroll or less. I may cut long summaries to accomplish this.
