An interesting side effect of the not-totally-planned-out membership drive (though I much prefer the way it turned out to the alternative where I did all the pimping myself:) is that folks are mentioning new fandoms, pairings, even genres that they would like to see recced here. Now, I can't promise that every fandom and pairing will eventually be recced at ER (after all, we can only rec in fandoms and pairings that that we read and enjoy), but I can promise that we have an open mind when it comes to trying new fic (especially true of me, since I have a voracious appetite for fic and it takes an enormous number of stories to keep my to read folder topped up).
All of which is to say: now is your chance to convert me and the other reccers to your fandoms and pairings.
Speaking for myself, all it takes is one fabulous story and I'm hooked, so you have a good chance of swaying at least one reccer to your fandom:) For those who really want to make a good impression: we've designed and formatted our recs to be the way that we prefer to receive recs. This means that, while you don't have to include anything besides a title, author's name, and link, we're much, much more likely to give a story a shot if there is a story length, summary, and review. Frankly, I doubt I'd ever read a random Star Wars story, but if someone pointed me to an epic-length Star Wars fic that featured a marriage of convenience, ramapant (but not too dark) angst, and a ridiculously happy ending, I'd be all over it like white on rice. In fact...is there such a fic out there? If so, where?
Things to keep in mind:
-Recced stories can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme
-You don't need to write a review (unless you want to). All that you need to include are title, author, and link to the story (all parts if there are more than one).
That said, have at it!
