What exactly are Epic Recs?

  • Jun. 14th, 2007 at 1:30 PM
Hi everyone,

Welcome to Epic Recs, fanfic recommendations by Jane Elliot.  I just started this community, so I thought I'd give you an idea of what to expect.

Obviously, this is a recs community.  Specifically, it is a multi-fandom recs community with a focus on longer stories with significant plot development and happy endings ('cause I'm a sap like that).  There will be the occasional short story recommendations, but if that's what you're searching for there are other, better places to look.

As the only person currently making recommendations in this community, you'll find that I tend to read and rec within narrow guidelines.  Typically this means one pairing per fandom (usually the most popular one), stories with both plot and character development, and competent writing.

Here are the fandoms I'm currently reading (and possibly reccing) in:
-SGA: McKay/Sheppard
-Due South: Fraser/Kowalski
-The Sentinel: Jim/Blair
-Highlander: Duncan/Methos
-House: House/Wilson
-Smallville: Clark/Lex
-Samurai Champloo: Fuu/Mugen/Jin (or some permutation of same)
-Hikaru No Go: Hikaru/Akira
-Rurouni Kenshin: Kenshin/Kaoru

There's going to be a lot more recs from the first three, primarily because they're huge fandoms that are still producing quality fic (despite the fact that two of the shows aren't even on the air any more), but I should have a significant number of recs from the other fandoms.  

I'm not sure how often I'll be posting recs; this will likely depend on what works best for the folks using this community.  Unless I hear otherwise, I'll probably be posting no more than one rec a day and no less than one rec a week.  Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

I'm so very excited about this community (and not just because I now have an excuse to go back and re-read every long fic in every fandom I've ever enjoyed); I hope you enjoy the recs as much as I like writing them.

Welcome!
Jane
