No opinion on the actual secret, just reporting in to say I like the design and layout of it. Nice work.

[kaishi]

That's the way it was when I first started reading fic, so I view any kind of summary or pairing or rating as a bonus.

[meadowphoenix]

do you also want summaries and warnings and reasons? honestly, depends on the list for me. if it's a general rec list, yeah more would be nice, like these are good why? if it's specific, i don't mind the barebones as much. if the links go to anywhere but AO3 AND don't have anything but author and name, I agree I find that annoying. but sometimes i think people are just reccing their friends. i do miss lj rec-lists for the reasons you're annoyed OP.

[feotakahari]

The worst is when there are no content warnings. I have stumbled into some fucked-up shit that was on the same list as vanilla.

[tabaqui]

Yes, I want at least a little summary or something so I have a clue what the fic is about. Hate-to-love? Meet Cute? AU with no superpowers? Angsty PTSD hurt/comfort? Gimme *something*!!

[(Anonymous)]

I rarely find good rec lists.

Ditto on wanting more information. I can find the title, summary, and that it's popular by sorting AO3 by hits. For a rec list, I want to know WHY it's good for you, why it stands out.

Personally, when I rec something, I rarely use the author's summary. I give a bare bones 'what this fic is,' tell why I liked it (great voices, great romance, great humor, etc), and then I quote a chunk of the fic to give potential readers the feel of it.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who wanted to make a master rec list, what specifically would be helpful for you?

I'm generally cool with Title, Pairing, Rating, and maybe a little indication of what the story's like. I've found a fair amount of rec lists that are just title, pairing and link and I'm honestly fine with that myself. I can back button if I'm not feeling it.

My original thought was to have
Title:
Author:
Pairing: (although it was going to be sectioned already -- like this is the section for A/B)
Warnings: (I don't mind adding this/kind of relevant tags)
Summary (it'd be my summary/brief gist of the story)

[(Anonymous)]

I do all that except I don't add my thoughts on the fic... just an excerpt.

[(Anonymous)]

I hate when there's a rec with no information... like, sometimes not even the pairing. And if I know another fic on the list is A/B and I click it and it's Y/Z, fine, but if I click it and it's B/C and I strongly dislike C, then I get ornery...

[amalthia]

I use pinboard for my recs, and tag them, so even if I don't say a lot about the story, the tags can tell the reader a whole lot more about what type of content is in the story, like warnings, pairings, tropes, and word count.

Thank you. Yes.

To me, the best superhero show on TV is/was Legends of Tomorrow. They might be a complete shower of disaster artists, but at least they are 100% on screwing things up for the better as their aim. They care, more than any other DC show, about actually trying to be a positive force in the world.

I like the idea of his head floating out there in space, its own planet. Growing, glowing, spreading his cosmic influence through vibes and neutron stars. Could power the whole Enterprise with his mind, that man.

you know he's still there and probably still calling some shots (he's on the board if I remember the recent disney board mess where nicola peltz's father tried to stage a coup with him correctly) right? you know the board is the one who truly calls the shots right? it's okay to blame disney as a corp, lol.
