I post in my lj. If I post in other communities, I link back to that post. I ask people to rec at will but to link to that post rather than directly to the vid link.

This does not seem challenging or arcane. I'm pleased! Recommending live-action vids is apparently supposed to be much easier than I've been making it.

Come to think of it, "making things harder than they have to be" is something of a theme in my life.

I don't as a rule do vid recs, because I don't as a rule do recs, because I'm lazy and unopinionated.

If you don't do recs, it's probably because you're sane. (At least in that respect. No overall warranty is expressed or implied, you understand.) The Urge to Rec is like the urge to convert people to a religion involving flower petals and gold limos and group sex and a savior named Ralph - it's just one of those things that happens to you. You do it because you cannot not do it.

Sometimes you're even born that way. I think I was. I swear I learned to talk pretty much entirely so I could convince people to read the things I liked. Back then, it was all "Richard Scary" this and "Richard Scary" that, whereas now it's more with the porn, but the basic underlying urge is the same.
