Folks offered me advice over on your LJ, I think, and when I followed that closely I found accurate results; it just seemed like I never had been able to before, and I get confused when the "Rec Category" folks fill out doesn't seem to match what they've signed up for (or else I'm confused about something else). I dunno; some things just don't click for me (such as computer hardware), and until my brain decides to get it, I just don't. The way volunteering and checking for prior recs of a story work don't mesh at all with the way my brain organizes stuff, is all.

I do think that would be helpful, though, yes. I just sometimes find myself wondering if the ways that would make a lot more sense to me would be more navigable to anyone else, or if I'm just wired differently. It's usually the latter. Heh.

ETA: Though since I don't read SG-1; get my new stories from here, other recs, the finders comms, and the newsletter, and don't really go looking on my own; am new enough that I'm still catching up on classics; tend to be picky about odd things; have little interest in explicit fics; and tend to pay the most attention to McKay character stories or SGA Team friendship stories, which generally get better coverage than I could ever offer ... I'm not sure I'd ever be able to come up with four that haven't been well covered already, y'know?
