I think we should keep posting recs in the main thread when relevant. Of course it's extra nice if something's written for me specifically, but if there's an existing fic that already fits my prompt, I definitely want to know about it!

Having a separate thread just for recs wouldn't really work unless we're expecting everyone to check that whole separate thread before posting a new prompt and keep re-checking it continually. If I see someone post a prompt and I know of a fic that fits, I don't want to just keep them in the dark about it because they posted in the wrong thread.

And as a writer I'm not discouraged from filling a prompt if someone links an old rec, in fact, that has helped inspired me to write my own version before.
