EPIC Multi-Fandom Fic Rec List

Aug 17, 2010 19:33

Hokay. This is for all the fics that make me go HOMG!! I highly recommend these fics to EVERYONE, although of course it's best if you know the fandom. They're pretty much awesome in every way. I'll update this post as necessary, but I'm incredibly picky so be forewarned.



I've sorted the fics alphabetically: first by series, then by author, then by title. So a few authors will appear more than once in different series, but I thought the fandom was the first and most obvious thing to sort by. Any fics written anonymously are at the very end of the fandom list under anonymous--I think these are only kink meme fics, though.

ALSO: I only wrote down the author's summary. I haven't included my opinion of the fic, warnings, ratings, or anything else. I only mentioned if it was the first in a series. Some are funny, some are serious. Some have sex, some don't. But a good fic is a good fic regardless of the specifics of content, IMHO. ♥

FINALLY: Please comment if you notice any errors! I'll fix them as quickly as possible. Thank you! ♥
