MISC: Need some help here - suggestions

Okay, so. I've noticed the lack of a fanfic rec comm for watchmen here on LJ - not a place to post fics or index all of them, but a place for people to make recommendations of things they really like so that people can get to the really good stuff without sifting through stuff they don't want. I'd like to fix that. It would be completely 'open' in both the sense of membership(though actual posts would be moderated just for the sake of making sure recs are comprehensible and the fics being recced aren't for example one giant run-on paragraph with no punctuation OH HO I DO RECOGNIZE THE HYPOCRISY) and in the sense that fics of any type/rating/genre/whatever can be recced, from fluff to AU to extreme kink, as long as it's high quality.
BUT I NEED A NAME FOR IT.
And I'm blanking. I can always fall back on something like watchfic_recs but if possible I want to call it something clever and interesting that people will remember and not have to experiment with where exactly the underscore goes and IS IT WATCHFIC OR WATHMENFIC OR WMFIC OR WHAT. Preferably something that has something to do with WM. XD
So. Suggestions? Even cracky suggestions, really, throw them out here. Asking you guys first because you are all wonderful and brilliant.

p.s. I'll reply to your pm tomorrow, I'm a bit too fuzzy to be properly coherent this evening <3

XD Which got across a lot of the same overall impressions as the newspaper/aftershave/thanks for the coffee scene - but I still missed it. Everyone focuses on the handshake scene and while I agree that's a pretty blatant bit of subtext, this scene here is really just about on the same level imo.
