Eh. Too lazy to think of a good subject line.

I've been on a fic-kick for a few days now (not like any of you could tell, right?) but I'm starting to get a little lazy when it comes to finding something worthwhile to read. So, in order to accentuate my mental exhaustion, here's a poll!

I find that I use recs only for fandoms that I'd never have thought to read fic for on my own. For example, I love comms like crack_van and epic_recs, because otherwise I'd never have found some really fantastic but random fic, like one for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and an Ugly Betty/Batman Begins crossover that is my favorite thing ever. I almost never listen to recs for fandoms that I already sometimes read; if it's for a character or pairing that I would read, more than likely, I've already read it by the time someone recc'ed it, and not even a rec from my best friend ever would get me to read about a pairing I don't care for. To be honest, when I make rec posts, it's mostly as a way of keeping a log for myself of things that I like, rather than because I expect anyone else would care. The only times I've ever really branched out of the pairings and authors that I already like have been during exchanges or kink memes, when for some reason, I feel much more open than I usually do. I read 75% of the stories at heroes_exchange and plan to read everything I can possibly understand at the crossover exchange.

... Ugly Betty and Batman? Does it take place in Gotham or New York City?

Funny, but the only weakness of the story is that point exactly. She "commutes "between NYC and Gotham, which doesn't make any sense. So is Gotham like... Trenton???? And then Clark Kent makes a cameo, visiting from Metropolis, which is... where?!?!? Otherwise, it's totally amazing in every sense of the word. Here
