About recs, though: I will skim recs that people give, and if I don't like them for whatever reason, I'll stop reading them and move on with a philosophical shrug. It's all a matter of taste in a lot of cases, and I'm pretty forgiving of that.
I know that my stuff isn't universally loved (or even very good - it's true, not me being self-effacing) and while I'd prefer people to be honest and informed when they leave reviews (and those two rarely come together), I also don't sweat it very much, I'm still finding my voice in a lot of cases and while I want to do a good job in terms of mechanics, grammar and spelling, and plotiness, I'm doing this to get better as a writer, not to win friends and praise.
I had a point, if you see it, let me know, I think I need it back!
