Thefourthvine

thefourthvine is a multi-fandom reccer on LiveJournal. She recs both vids and fanfic, though her focus is more on fic. 
thefourthvine is known for not (or barely) watching canon for many of the fandoms she recs in; despite this her recs are widely appreciated.
Her recs tend to be rambling and exuberant, with quirky tag lines for each work she recs, such as "The One That Made Me Want a Crossover Between Hikaru no Go and SG1. Teal'c v. Touya Meijin! Fine, Fine. I Accept That I Am the Only Person on the Planet Who Wants That. But I Want It Enough for Everyone."thefourthvine, 181: A General Flavor rec post, August 5th, 2008.
