I'm here. I'm just, um. See, when I let a few days go by without recommending anything, because for example I've chosen to waste precious hours sleeping instead of writing or reading, my Suppressed Inner Critic becomes not so suppressed, and then I find myself reading my in-progress posts with ever-increasing hatred. This makes it hard to post things.
In really bad cases, I start reading old posts. At that point, there's nothing for it but to write something entirely different, or as different as it gets in this LJ - in other words, something that won't make me cringe because it reminds me of all the other crap I've written. Most of my Fandoms I Have Loved and rant posts get written during these phases.
I'm in the throes of an unusually bad case of Raging Inner Critic, and it's taken me longer than usual to come up with a not-rec post. I'm writing that now, though, so you may expect an eleventh-hour return from me - soonish.
You know, I'm actually sort of sorry I got rid of the Evil Zucchini Overlords; I'd like to introduce my Critic to them. Ah, well. I'm sure an essay filled with random bitchery will silence the Critic almost as effectively. Yay, random bitchery!
