So one "resolution" that I always make every year is to make more fandom recs...

It's not that I don't want to, I just never save the links in an easily accessible format. I have fics saved in Pocket, an export of thousands of links from the now defunct Delicious, terribly organised bookmark folders in Chrome because they were supposed to be "temporary" and many vids saved to my computer with no record of the links they came from.

But a couple of years ago I found a tool called Calibre, an eBook manager that saves everything locally and has a useful plugin called FanFicFare that (after a bit of wrangling) call import fics from AO3 along with all the tag information. So now I have a handy dandy directory of fic and vid links to pull from.

Do I still have thousands and thousands of links to add? Perhaps, but I at least now have things setup that will (theoretically) easily facilitate monthly rec posts and themed rec lists. Will I actually do this on a semi-regular basis? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But I must also give a shoutout to the recthething comm, created by the lovely snickfic, which gave me to nudge to finally get things going.

Also please don't ask about your auction vid. I'm working on it, I swear!

So I intend for these monthly rec posts to be for things that I have enjoyed that have been ~recently posted and under the cut are recs for:

• 1 x Captain America fics
• 10 x The Old Guard fics
• 2 x Vids

As always, check the tags and warnings on individual posts. Read at your own risk, etc. Although I have my favourites, I do read all sorts of pairings, kinks, ratings, tropes, etc, so sometimes it may be a bit of a lucky dip.
