Blog Housekeeping and Regular Housekeeping

So: half the bathroom is deep-cleaned, and I'm 2/3 of the way through finishing those fic recs.  I've also added cut tags for those viewing the recs on their reading page. I don't know how to make them work inside the post itself. 

Something I realised is that while I subscribed/bookmarked a lot of BBC Sherlock fic, I didn't do nearly as much bookmarking/subscribing/keeping ACD Canon fic. I know part of that is because most of the ACD fic I read here, on DW, but I think I'm also reluctant to hold onto canon fic the same way. It feels like I'm somehow betraying canon? I'm going to try to get over that this next year, because I want those authors getting more credit after I've enjoyed their fic. 

Anyway, now to take a food break, which has been long-coming.

Go you with the cleaning. My bathroom needs a deep clean, but actually doing it isn't happening at the moment.

Woot for cleaning! I created a UFYH community here so feel free to join that if you want to (just search for UFYH).

It's pretty blank right now but I'm hoping to grow a community around it here. And if the UFYH lady from tumblr and facebook wants to have it, I'll gladly hand it over to her.

OMG yes! I made some cool friends over there in the UFYH community. I hope some come over here.

Could you reframe canon fic as a love letter to canon? Because I think a lot of authors, that's exactly how they're writing it.

Cut tags mostly only work when you're coming at the post from outside: dash, journal, or archive. The closest you can get to linking the post itself and still have the cut-tags work is to backdate the three posts to days where nothing else appears, and then link to the DATE of the post, and not the post itself. Or you could make them top-of-the-journal sticky, instead of linking to them: lots of people do that with their masterlist posts.
