Regarding Fic Recs

So one of the things I love (lovelovelove) doing on Tumblr is recommending other peoples' fic. Over there, it's pretty easy, just slap that reblog button.

But I'm not sure what to do here. Put up linky posts? Do one-by-one fic recs? Do a sort of fic digest at a specific time each week? Crosspost my reblogs? (That one seems particularly fraught to me; far too easy for it to look like I'm reposting as my own or trying to take credit, which is 180 degrees removed from the whole point of recommending fic.)

If you are reading this and you have an opinion (particularly if you are one of those whose fic I like to share), let me know. Especially especially if you've logged more time on DW or other LJ-style sites than I have, and you know some of the unspoken rules or longstanding traditions.

I'm not a prolific reccer myself, but in my experience, I have seen recs in the following places:

1. rec-focused comms like [community profile] fancake
2. fandom comms (for fics in that fandom)
3. digests or compilations after a particular event
