I've occasionally been referenced, and I have to admit that I love it when people talk about me (in a good way).
It's a little disappointing to not be talked about. Unless you are in a really small category (Elseworld stories where Clark is Batman), and people list all the other stories except yours, then all not getting talked about means that people haven't gotten around to you yet.
Truth is, I like reading recommendations because they give me ideas to read stories I might otherwise not read. Also, the more ego stroking people get, the more motivated they are to keep writing. That can't be all bad. <g>
