okay, seriously, this whole getting into fanfic thing? fanfic is too big. how do you narrow it down, my god? the last i dabbled in reading fic was umpty years ago, on the farscape newsgroup, an i was just like "people are wrting d'argo/john smut! what a wondrous thing is the internet!" and there was not so damn much to pick from, and then i stopped having time to even watch farscape so i wasn't going to read the fic. Now umpty years later, i rediscover fanfic, and it has GROWN. And any fandom I am remotely interested in has a veritable flood of fanfic. and i can not tell what is crap til i read it. What are the best sources or tools to winnow it down?

eta: might help to give examples of fandoms I like. who/torchwood, buffy, trueblood.
