emmagrant01 | A question about reccing.

A team of us are hard at work updating the Post-Hogwarts H/D Master List, and a question has come up that we aren't sure how to answer. Help?

[Poll #677090]

Thank you!!

ETA: Just to clarify, we will be marking fics that are password protected or flocked, so readers will know before they click. (In the new system, it will be listed in the warnings.)

The other thing I should say is that this is not really a list of recs, but a list of all fics that fit in that category, so it's intended to be thorough and comprehensive. And in the past, we've looked extensively for the fic off LJ before we had to resort to linking to a locked post. I've always assumed that people were locking their stuff to keep RL folks who read their LJ from finding it, or to try to keep kids from reading/seeing their porn, but maybe that's not the biggest reason people flock?

So I guess the question is, if you lock your stuff for the reason I've listed above, would you still prefer it not be recced?

ETA 2: Meep. No need to get snippy about how annoying you find it to follow links to flocked fic. Please read the ETA above before you tell me how much you hate that. Actually, I'm really interested in hearing from people who flock their work about what they would prefer.
