. The notion that my rec on crack_van would spawn discussion feels odd and foreign to me,
That's my reaction, too. If anything, I would expect a discussion to happen at the site of the fic -- readers posting an LOC with, "Read this because of Crack_Van, and I was really interested in the way you..." and (maybe) other readers chiming in. Discussion at Crack_Van just feels baffling -- and, if the author doesn't know about the rec to visit and see what people say -- of no use or satisfaction to the author. .
