Review:
Blair is working at Choices, a suicide prevention hotline, when who should call but a newly-online sentinel who is considering ending it all. The AU covers the events of the series from the pilot through David Lash.
This is one of my favorite AUs, primarily because of the way the relationship between Jim and Blair changes due to the different circumstances of their meeting. Unlike in canon, where Blair is the supplicant, Jim does all of the chasing in Choices and the alteration in their relationship is fascinating and really nice to see. Blair is more confident, Jim is nicer, and frankly their relationship is far more healthy than in 99% of fanfic *or* canon. A wonderful change of pace.

Oh, look! It's February! Which means I'm already a whole month behind on this post I'd planned to do at the first of the year. *headdesk*
At any rate, ER is growing by leaps and bounds and after a year and a half we're stronger than ever. Seven reccers posting recs seven days a week, theme weeks every month to give us all a chance to explore some new fandoms/genres/pairings, and a growing readership that reults in reader's rec posts producing more recs than ever -- not bad for a relatively new kid on the block:)
However, we are not ones to rest on our laurels. If there's a way to make Epic Recs better, we want to find it. And to that end, I'm asking ya'll to lend us a hand. Is there some aspect of the comm you don't like? Anything you think could be done differently (preferably better)? Is there something we aren't doing that we should be doing? Or is there some aspect of the comm that you love to bits and you want to make sure sticks around no matter what? If so, this is the post to tell us about it. Suggestions, concrit, raves, rants... all are welcome.
