So I'm going to be out of town for two weeks starting this Friday. I need recs! Music recs and book recs.

As far as music goes, in general I go for pop & rock. But I've found songs I like in all genres.

As far as books go- plot, please? I like scifi, fantasy, mystery... anything that's not just romance. Unless it's a gay romance! /biased like woah

Rec, pleease!

And does anyone happen to know about how many characters/words will fit into an entry? Cowboys fic goes up tommorow, omg!! It is at the moment ~28,000 words, so yeah. :D I'm so excited!!

You already have so many good recs here I agree with that I can't really offer any extra. But as far as words go, I've posted a 13,000 word fic without much trouble, but when I was posting the first three chapters of Scar Tissue on my LJ together (which amounted to a little bit over 28,000) my LJ threw up and died, so, you might have to split it up if it won't go?

28,000 won't work in one entry. If it did I wouldn't have needed to split my 16,200 words Shunsui/Byakuya collab fic into two entries. ^^;;

This is tragic. I just went to that entry I was talking about and realized LJ had eaten part of it anyway...which would explain why it worked. It's been like that for months on end and I had no idea. o_0

Oh, LJ.

Posting limits are ridiculous. -.-

Every time I edit my fanfic list at the moment I have to use a program to get rid of unnecessary html code as it's right on LJ's size limit. I'm going to have to split it it's just impossible to keep it how it is now. >_< I used a word counter and that one is only just over 6,000 words in length but it's because the links are so long that it's only just under the size limit. ^^;;

Omg, that really sucks! O_O

Yeah, I've never seen anyone manage a 13,000 word fic in one post before. xD Stupid lj and it's posting limits. It took us forever to upload the fic today, omg.
