strina: text mostly "people say that life is the thing but i prefer reading" over pile of books (prefer reading)
For my thirteen-ish cousin Michael, specifically. He actually likes fantasy (his favorite author is Rick Riordan)! I am so excited, y'all, the rest of the family is all Dean Koontz and Stephen King. I very much wish to encourage this, so I want to give him ebooks for Christmas, but I am kind of having trouble thinking of good YA with male protagonists. Like, I've got Only You Can Save Mankind and The Demon's Lexicon and the Owlknight trilogy, but I am blanking. That branch of the family is also more religious/conservative, so I hestitate to rec things like Good Omens.

HELP, PLEASE?

Poking at the big bang and hey, I'm appending a resources post to the end; anyone have any awesome links for girl-centric fic? I've got ralst and some tags/collections on the AO3 and witchwinter and femslash09/etc. and halfamoon and femgenficathon and Twisting the Hellmouth and galpalficathon and ladiesbigbang and hermionebigbang and littlebang and the het id crack comm and I think some other stuff? But it's not exactly something you can have too much of, so more would be very much appreciated.

For two, how do you post with the community's icons instead of your icons? Can you? Because I would totally love to have at least one icon for each fandom, but I don't personally have enough slots for that.

For three, this project is not breaing down like I had expected. Right now it's f/f > gen > f/m > f/m/m > f/f/m > f/f/f (I had expected more het, less gen, and at least one f/m/m/m).

For four, content notes! I think I've got notes for most of the actually objectionable stuff, but I may be looking right past something hinky. I am also doing content notes as enticements/genre indicators. So! I am going to put the list of what I have behind the cut, and would love any suggestions.

Content notes as things stand. )

Added a bunch of fic to that stuff I mean to rec post. Trek (Reboot, DS9, & TOS), Buffy, crossovers, small fandoms, RPF (band & AI), Supernatural...random pet formatting peeves. Relatedly! Is there a way to get my individual DW entries to display like my individual LJ entries, i.e. no frills/text fits screen instead of an annoyingly narrow box?

So, to stave off anymore lists for a little while, I decided to go through and tag everything I've recced on del.icio.us and oh my GOD, is there a trick I can use to mass-add a tag? The recommended tag feature is kind of hit or miss on "fanfiction" and well, I don't want to have to remember to add it on more than 1000 links. (ETA: I just did the math and holy jesus, I understated that so much, it's 2300 WITHOUT THE MINILISTS).

Also? I kind of hate life and the internet, but that will pass. I'm just a little horrified at the, y'know, scope.

But! It will give me definitive answer on how many fics/fandoms I've covered and now I'm kind of interested in the average number of fics per list. Will the minlists drag it down or will the number of sequels even things out any?
