Reccing at crack van (and the crack van Delicious bookmarks)

[luzula]

I am reccing at crack_van in August, and you can check out my recs here. There's someone signed up for September, but after that it's empty, so do sign up! You only have do to a minimum of eight recs during a month.

Also, I have updated the crack van Delicious, which akamine_chan used to maintain, and which I currently maintain. Sorry I was behind on it! Its purpose is 1) to be a general recs resource and 2) for crack van reccers to be able to check which fics have been recced before, and whether an author/pairing/whatever is underrepresented at crack van, etc. I've added a link to it in the side bar of my journal, so you can find it more easily.

Would it be of more use if I moved it to Pinboard instead? I didn't use Delicious much before it went weird, and still don't, so I don't know which functionalities people might miss. What I use it for is basically 1) sort tags alphabetically, 2) click on author or pairing tag, and 3) see what stories have been recced, and for that purpose it works the way it is. But please do give me feedback on what would be useful for you!

Thanks for your continued dedication to making dS fic accessible to everyone; I admire, as always, both your talent and energy.

I think moving to Pinboard is problematic as long as only members of that service have access to the information, is all- everything I hear about the interface there tells me it's much superior to the current iteration of delicious.

Julia, wishing for time to be fannish but in summer work expands to fill the light allotted

Pinboard is just like Delicious - the bookmarks are available for anyone to view, as long as the owner of the bookmarks hasn't made them private. For instance, going here takes you to my bookmarks, whether you have a Pinboard account or not.

The interface is much less clunky that Delicious and as of last week, we finally got tag bundles at Pinboard, which was the main thing most of us missed from Delicious. \o/

That's good to know! Thanks for the info. I'll probably move it, then--I don't really like Delicious.

The delicious is so useful, so thank you for that!

And I haven't signed up because I expect to be busy with DSSS for a bit, but am hoping to have another go at it next year.

I'm glad it's useful! And your recs from this spring were great--I'd missed some of them before, but I looked through them while updating the bookmarks.

You = rockstar! \o/

Aww, thank you! You are, too. ♥

I've never had any idea what a pinboard or delicious is, but if you provide a link to it (like the one provided to the existing list) and we have access to it, it probably doesn't matter.

Delicious is a bookmarking service that was popular with fans for a while, until they changed it and it lost a lot of the features people were using. So a lot of people have gone to Pinboard instead, which is a similar but better service. And thanks for your input! : )
