Big Bang recs--

[ladyjanelly]

 I don't have a horse in this race, but it's still making me sad to read the SPN/J2 fic-rec groups this year.
Like--are they reccing every single fic?  If so, it's not so much of a rec list as it is a recap of this weeks BB posts.
And if they aren't reccing every single fic, they're reccing so many that those that don't get mentioned might feel sad for being not good enough and all left out and stuff.  For some reason it feels exclusional this year.  Maybe I'm just in a weird mood...

yea I have no confidence in my stuff and I'm so far behind in reading the bigbangs that I just don't listen to the recs. *shrugs and tries to smile, too sad to really do it* guess you have to be a big shot in the fandom to get any kind of recognition.

LUCKILY you are one of them and I love your stuff!!

Honestly, I'd have a hard time putting my stuff up against such--apples-to-apples comparison for BB too. no matter how many reviews it got,it wouldn't be the most and I'd keep wondering why or what I should have done different or whatever. Rollerball was my first fic for a challenge and I know it wasn't the most awesome movie to make a J2 from and still I was sort of sad at the reviews. I'm proud of that fic and sorry for it at the same time. I don't think any amount would be enough when compared to others like that.

I think I'll keep writing for my f-list first and foremost and cross-posting when stuff is done like I did for In From the Cold.

I agree. Sometimes you just have to remind yourself to write for yourself and that's it...
