Do you have a story that simply *must* be read?  What about a favorite story in a fandom we just don't rec?  Maybe a fic that you've read a hundred times and can't imagine why it hasn't been recced here before?  If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then this is the RR for you.  Recs posted here (and which follow the posting guidelines below) will be posted to the comm itself starting May 22.  That's right -- our readers REALLY will be our reccers and we're eager to see what you want to share.

Don't hit the comment button just yet!  Epic Recs has some strict posting guidelines that must be followed (we consider ER's consistent quality to be one of the main selling points of the comm) -- any comments that ignore any of the following rules will be disqualified.

Rules/guidelines:
-Recs will be posted the week of May 22-May 28.  I'll do the actual posting and will credit the reader who wrote the rec.
-No limits!  Rec early and rec often!
-Stories that have already been recced at ER may not be recced again.
-Stories must be complete and publicly available.  If it requires a password (no matter how easy to get) or joining a comm/group/website (no matter how free), it cannot be recced at Epic Recs.
-Check your grammar and spelling.  I don't mind fixing a typo or two, but I don't feel comfortable rewriting someone's rec.
-You may not rec your own fic or fic written for you.  (Personally, I try not to even rec fic written by friends -- it's too hard to be unbiased.)
-To rec a story, copy and paste the following into the comment box and fill it out completely.  Every space must be filled in.  If the author doesn't have an LJ or website, or the story has no warnings, you should use n/a.

Review:
[This must include both a summary of the fic and an explanation of why you liked it, including details.  If you'd rather put the summary in its own section (we have a few reccers who do this) that's fine.]

Link to the story: [it's amazing how often folks forget this part]

Short: under 2,000 words
Medium: 2,000-15,000 words

Recs will be accepted until May 21.  I think that's everything, but I reserve the right to modify this list if there's something I think of later.

That said, have at it!
