I've been debating doing something like this for months now, but I've been holding off until I was sure the comm was ready. Now that we have a level of organization that would make Adrian Monk weep with joy (fandom tags! pairing tags! length tags! genre tags! delicious tags! memories!), multiple reccers to guarantee recs every single weekday and some weekends, over three hundred recs and counting, and a fabulous range of regular fandoms, I think it's time. It's time to...
Ahem. In other words, we love this comm and we want to introduce it to others. Yes, that's right. It's time to pimp.
The only problem is, I sort of suck at pimping, primarily because I feel so self-conscious about it. Thus I would love some suggestions for places where people would not only not mind me pimping this comm, but would actually appreciate hearing about a resource for recs in their fandom(s).
Can you help me? Please?
(And, hey, if you want to introduce a few folks to ER, we're not going to complain:)
ETA: Mei suggested that I include a blurb for those folks who wish to spread the love for us:
Tired of short stories? Looking for longer fic? Check out Epic Recs, a multifandom rec comm with a focus on long first-time stories with happy endings.
Current regular fandoms include The Sentinel, Stargate: Atlantis, Harry Potter, Star Trek (various iterations), and more, with over 60 fandoms recced in total.
The comm: http://community.livejournal.com/epic_recs/
The memories (sorted by fandom): http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=epic_recs
Our delicious page: http://del.icio.us/epic_recs
ETA 2: Added bonus! I'll post a bonus rec for every ten new readers we get between now and Friday. Whee! (Added bonus for me: finally making a dent in my overwhelming backlog of recs;)
Spread the Epic Recs Love!
