doranwen: reading one book is like eating one potato chip (Reading One Book)

*nod* I definitely do include ships and wordcount in the rec at all times.

I wish it were easier to sort by general theme! (You can see some description of the difficulty in some of my other comments.) I could easily do a "here's all the canon divergence fics for X fandom" post, but there's no easy way to generate posts that include *all* the fics for a fandom but yet group them by themes, due to the sheer number of themes tagged for a fic. For a small set of fics that I hand-create, yeah, but I'd definitely miss good fics that way.

But that prompted me to add a paragraph in my master recs post inviting people to ask for a recs post to be made. Since I *can* easily generate one any which way someone wants, that way they could say "hey, I'd love all the time travel fics for any fandom" or "could I get all the canon divergence for this fandom?" and I can make that. I can make them all in a snap (as long as they align to a theme or combination of themes that I have in the db), I just don't know which ones people would want! Hopefully someone will take me up on that someday and I can make ones that would be useful to someone.

Thanks for your feedback! Everyone's comments have been very helpful.
