RR -- It's Jane's Birthday!

[jane-elliot.livejournal.com]

It's my birthday (well, it was last Thursday, but I was out of town)! What do I want most for my special day? Recs! Specifically, any of the following:

-Marriage of Convenience fic (this also includes forced bonding fic, but please no non-con!)

-Non-Creepy Snape-is-Harry's-father fic (non-creepy means that the story isn't all about corporal punishment and that there isn't any incest)

-Super-Duper Epics (fics over 100,000 words, in any fandom I've ever recced.  Other fandoms are fine, as long as the fic is accessible to someone who doesn't know the fandom at all:)

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). We are actively seeking new reccers at the moment. If you'd like to be considered, be sure to do a full review similar to the reviews posted on the comm.

That said, have at it!

MLC= "Marriage Law Challenge"; way back in the beginning of time (or maybe for some fest? I don't really remember) the Marriage Law Challenge was issued as a fic prompt, something along the lines of "The Wizarding World has passed a law requiring all people (of marriageable age/able to reproduce/17-35 etc) to get married in the next year or go to the Office of Last Resort to be matched with an appropriate person. How do our heroes face this challenge?"

There are a ton of MLC fics out there, hence the codename. A lot are "this is a dastardly Death Eater plot!" or "this is the Ministry being stupid!" and many, many of them are Hermione/Snape.

Ah. I've read a few of those and wasn't thrilled, so I'm excited to see a rec -- gives me a reason to give it another chance:)

Yeah the problem with MLC is that there are faaaaaaar too many people who attempted that prompt. Quality control is definitely an issue, but when they're good they're, well, good!
