I do find a *lot* of fic via recs, too (and favorites lists on ff.net, which amounts to much the same thing, I suppose). It's really a fantastic thing ... and I don't want it to be an unhappy thing for anyone involved, which probably has something to do with why I balk at going too in-depth into what I didn't like about a fic. (Though, as mentioned in a comment above, even if I was brutally honest with the fics I rec, it would still only be a tiny minority that would come with caveats. Which is something I hadn't really thought about.)
