I just did a search for fic recs, and this was one of the communities that came up.

I regularly read SGA and The Sentinel. I occasionally read HP. My other largest fandom (not rec'd here) is SPN and SPN-RPS.

Here because I followed you from my flist to this, and because I like recs. I've been reading mostly SGA, but I also will read just about any fandom...

(hey, for small fandoms, you could consider Voltron... *clears throat* http://community.livejournal.com/voltron_yaoi/profile )

I read your fiction and then joined when you started to rec.
I read SGA, Sentinel and H.P. though I will at times try others.
The really long ones I tend to read over a period of time.

Hope this what you are after.
Liz.

I think I probably heard of the comm first through recsrainbow, though I've also met you personally in a number of different communities ;)

What are my top reading fandoms? Well, I'm very very multi-fandom - I love diversity. I constantly try out new fandoms. I tend to like "rarer" things the most, whether it's rare fandoms, or rare pairings/characters within a big fandom, but I'll read anything with an interesting plot.

And you're not the only one with a massive "to-read" folder. Mine's huge, and no matter how much I read it only seems to grow ;)

Re: how I found epic_recs - I'm pretty sure I read one of your fics, perused your LJ, found a link to this comm, and let forth a happy squeal. I love long well-written fics, and a place dedicated to rec'ing them rocks my socks. I've found a number of great fics while looking through the comm, and have revisited a couple of past favorites, so all for the better.

The main fandoms I follow at the moment (mainly because of ease of finding fics) are Due South, SGA, and The Sentinel. I do read/hunt for fic in the HP, SV, Sports Night, Entourage, The Wire, SG-1, Good Omens, Full Metal Alchemist, Pirates of the Caribbean, and various Marvel and DC team stories (X-Men, The Authority, Sandman, Justice League Unlimited 'Verse, Batman, Superman, etc). Ideally (read "I'm greedy") I'd like all the fandoms I mentioned added to the roster here. Good long fics are hard to come by in any fandom.

I regularly read SGA and Highlander.

There are other fandoms I would like to read much more: Blood Ties and Beeing Human.
Both are rare fandoms...

Sadly I know most of the SGA fic you rec. But some of the Highlander fics are new to me and I enjoy them.

How I got here: you posted an announcement over at indeedsir about Jeeves and Wooster week. I loved the way things were set up here so I joined the comm.

My top reading fandoms vary a lot. Currently they are: Due South, Jane Austen novels, Jeeves and Wooster, Ugly Betty, Star Trek (all series), DCU (Teen Titans mostly) and Psych. I've been away from the CSI, Smallville, Harry Potter and House fandoms for a while, so I love to see recs from those.

I'd love to see more literary fandoms and some new anime/manga ones. Making small fandom week a regular feature would be awesome!

Honestly, I don't remember how I found this comm. I may have friended your personal journal first, and found out about the comm. that way.

As for Fandoms, I tend to read in cycles, gorging on one or two fandoms until only the dregs are left, and then moving on to another, eventually starting the cycle all over again. I read all your big ones, but can't stand Samurai Champloo (sorry). But your other recs are always interesting, and I enjoy contributing to the search posts, as well.

At the moment, I'm into Firefly & SGA, and would love to see more recs from them. It's really difficult to find good epic stories in Firefly, especially slash, which is a pity, since it has such potential.

I found this--I actually don't know how I found this community. I probably found it through your fiction, which I mostly adore. My current fandoms are pretty much SGA and I'm trying to break into SPN, but I don't like incest fic that much, so it's a little tough.

Small fandom's I'd love more recs in? Practically too many to name: Sports Night, Babysitter's Club, Psych, Bones, Numb3rs (non-incest), Veronica Mars, Crossovers, Torchwood, SPN, Popslash, Joan of Arcadia!, Star Trek: Voyager, NCIS.

I don't know much about anime, or this Jeeves and Wooster stuff, so I tend to ignore those recs. If you could post links to informational posts about those series, I'd be much more likely to give them a shot.

But more (or any) Joan of Arcadia would be wonderous!

I found you just by doing random searches in my fandom on Google. I forgot to bookmark though and refound you when I opened my LJ account and did a search for people with a similar interest.

My main fandom is Smallville, particularly Clex. I also enjoy Star Trek - TOS with K/S pairing. There are also a couple of yaoi manga series I follow, but this site seems mainly about TV fandoms, so I won't get into those. I even enjoy SV-RPS, although it is a guilty pleasure, since Tom is married (sigh).

I think I found this back when I friended every rec comm I could find through both google- and interest-searches on lj.

The fandoms I mainly read in right now: Due South (F/K almost exclusively, long post-CotW ones are my happy place), SGA (Ronon paired with anyone, love John with him, love John period (which apparently you don't, so nyanyanyaa or something ;), but I'll read gen and het sometimes, as well), die hard 4 (John/Matt - there aren't any true epics out there yet though, as far as I know), P&P (FD/EB Regency fic only, the modern adaptations tend to not do it for me - they tend to do everything that made me not want to read het anymore in the first place. Not that the regency ones are all perfect, but they have hand-kissing and carriages and saying so much by saying so little in so lovely convoluted ways and empire style dresses and shit).

But I'll click on loads of stuff, if I come across it and it looks shiny. The Sentinel, Harry Potter, PotC, Sports Night, SG-1 (though I'm not feeling the Jack/Daniel love so much; and since season 4 of sga I totally love Sam, which I hadn't expected given the characterizations I had read *eyes fandom*), the Joss-verses (if you had good long Jayne/whoever or omg Book/anyone, I'd squeeee - I only ever found 2 or 3 Jayne ones, that I really loved - I can be picky like that), BSG old and new, most Trek (I'm not so much into Kirk, so sorry), Star Wars old and new (if you could rec me good long Mace/Obi-Wan or Mace/anyone slash, I'd likely squish you to pieces. And is there even Han Solo/someone-not-Luke slash out there? Must ask the ficfinder), on occasion also x-men, House, CSI (Greg/Grissom), NCIS, Starsky and Hutch, Without a Trace, x-files (Skinner/Krycek), Criminal Minds, Oz, *eyes list* ok anything that holds still long enough. Stopping now.

I'd love to see your take on the p&p monsters, too. But since some of it is posted in locked forums, you can't link to them directly - how will you rec them? Not that you'll automatically want to, mind. Or some Star Wars (as I didn't disguise so much up there). But really, rec whatever strikes your fancy. I love myself new shiny fandoms (um, totally unrelated - wanna rec some farscape? Go right ahead ;)! Also oops, this got long *sheepish*.

i joined because i like long, plotty fics. and it's getting harder for *me* to navigate finding things, so....

my main fandoms are Sentinel, Mag7, Highlander. i'll occasionally read House, SG-1, Macguyver, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. i read Pern and Valdemar stuff more and more often, but there's not a whole lot there to begin with.

i will *very rarely* foray into dueSouth. sometimes, i'll go fic-hunting for specific kinks, but not often. if a story has been recommended to me by someone i trust, i'll go outside my usual haunts, but i usually don't stray for long.

i'm neutral on a lot of your questions, because my own to-be-read pile is like the flintstone vitamins commercials (10 million strong... and growing!). but i like crossovers, so that's what i'd like to see rec'd.

Well, I've been keeping an eye on sgastoryfinders quite a bit lately. (I like to see how many I recognize, ;), and it's also a good place to find things I might be interested in reading.) Anyway...that led me to sgagenrefinders where there was a post asking for long (50,000-100,000 word) stories and a couple of replies to the post suggested this comm. (Yes, you were one of them. *g*) So...I just followed the comms to your door.

I read Andromeda, BtVS/AtS, CSI, Criminal Minds, due South, House, NCIS, SGA, The Sentinel, Star Trek Voyager, and X-files. I'm a multi, multi, multi-fandom slash reader. I do read one very small, hard to find fandom - Inspector Morse. I'd really love to find more of that. From time to time I might also read Highlander and Quantum Leap, but I'm not quite as obsessive there.

So...there you go. :)
