I find a lot of fic through recs; via friends or LJ posts, etc. Most are short recs, with one or two sentences and I go check it out. I'm not much for reading indepth reviews (akin to vivisections in some cases) as those reviews tend to give away too much plot. However, warnings are okay. I don't want to be halfway through a story to discover it's slash when I dont' read that genre. Also, if a reviewer does find fault, provide constructive critcism, not catty remarks ("this person couldn't write their way out of a paperbag", that kind of stuff).

But, although I rarely rec as I never find time, I do appreciate those that do. Points me toward fiction I can read:)
