For A Good Time, Call

I should have said this guide includes every method I've ever used to find good fic... Step 3's F, G, and H are the ones I haven't tried. (Well, technically I've tried G.) I'm not sure if I've tried C yet, either. Everything else, though... yeah, sometimes I get desperate. (OTOH, I haven't tried every single thing here for any one fandom, either, so it's not quite as bad as it looks. Although now that I have it all written out for future reference, I probably will! The steps I left out are "sit there staring at the screen, pondering other possible methods of attack", which used to take up ~80% of my search time.)
