You know, that's an interesting idea - although I don't know if it would work on kfm in particular, just because I can see people being all "how come my story isn't featured" and then whining ensuing.

I've thought about making a lj community just for fic recs of stuff that people think are overlooked or undervalued. People could post one rec a week - and there could be rules about it and stuff, but I'm not sure there'd be enough interest for it (or that I'm willing to put the work into something like that). And again - I can already hear the drama drama starting.

I'm really hoping some of the upcoming changes to the kfm search engine will at least help people be able to find stuff better - so if they're looking for something a bit more obscure or minus a romance or game walkthrough they'll actually be able to find it. I think that might marginally help the situation a bit.
