| Fest Final Rec List / Report Card |
[Jan. 3rd, 2008|04:52 pm] |
The fic-fests done. Here's the updated Report Card of fics that I want to rec. ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bestmates_xmas had their reveal already and I've updated with the authors. I plan to update to this post and put in the authors after the smutmas and hd_hols reveal, but this will be my last "post". Any fics that fest fics that I missed and I read in the future, I'll rec em separately. So feel free to link to this post.
Most of my f-list knows that I went to school known for its academics. That said, it always graded on a "C curve". Yep absolutely NO Grade Inflation. So I've come to look at much in life on the a Gaussian curve (normal distribution) and see much of life on a C curve. The funny thing that most people forget when describing such a curve is that half of the curve is Below Average and the vast majority can be considered mediocre. So what's my point? I'm just putting A & B fics up for the sake of differentiating them but I think them all excellent reads and above average and rec them heartily. Please take no insult from a B grade. I mean it as a huge compliment as it is far better than the majority of C+ to B- fics out there. I'll also put the caveat out there that all this is simply IMHO. There were plently of other fics that I read and thought meh...okay...and then saw other folks reccing them profusely. That's what makes chocolate and vanilla (as reported in earlier post;)
