Let's err on the side of not allowing self-recs.

In looking at the fanfic page editing history, troper Apollo A also added entries for Awesome and YMMV at some point and may have also created said pages, none of which are allowed if they’re the author. Links:

Self recommendations is already disallowed on Fanfic Recs, so you can just cut those without needing consensus. I'd message Apollo A to be sure but they left the wiki almost decade ago. But still, since they are the only ones to add things to Fanfic.The Cronies and they share almost the same name as the author...I'd say it's safe to cut the Awesome, YMMV pages, and the recs made by them
