Fan Fic Recommendations - Television Tropes & Idioms

Caveat lector! *

This is a list of recommendations made by Tropers for Fan Fics. Feel free to recommend your favorite fanfics here, but please follow the required template found below. If you are creating a new page for recommendations of a work then a template page can be found here *. Just copy'paste the source code and fill in the work specific fields.

Bear in mind that recommendations are subjective, so if you want to question or discuss any given recommendation you should do so on the appropriate discussion page. If you want people to read the fanfic you're recommending, you should put some effort into writing the description. Sell us the fanfic, but don't inflate it; we're striving for some quality stories here, so if you have difficulties with making it look interesting, maybe it wasn't that good in the first place.

In addition, you will notice that the tropers have signed their recommendations. Somebody has to vouch for them, so if a given recco isn't backed up by anybody, it will be zapped. After a few samples, you will be able to note the interests of the tropers recommending them, and judge whether you might be also interested in a certain 'fic. Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexual* or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

Reviews of fics are encouraged, but if you choose to write one, please make it substantive, and give specific details about what you liked / disliked in the fic. If you want to give a fic a thumbs-up without writing a full review, you can add your troper handle to the Recommended by line.

Cross Over fics between two fictions should be listed twice, once under each fiction's page. Cross Over fics between three or more should be listed once under Mega Crossover.

Below is the required format for a recommendation. If you're making a new page, or adding to an existing one, copy that text into the page. Please don't use the old format, those are being gradually converted to this one.

Required Format

Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link

)

Recommended by: Troper Name*
Reminder - if you want to recommend the fic but not write a review, add your Troper name to this line after the original name
Synopsis: What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
Pairing(s): If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (note here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
Tags: If any are known. This would be things like WAFF, Lemon, Dark Fic, any Trigger Warnings etc.

Note: That last bit of gibberish with the square brackets turns into a button linking the fic to its reviews, which is where all opinions about the work go. The recommendations lists are just for recommendations and the synopses. Since the coding doesn't like punctuation, remember to strip that out before posting the link to the reviews section. This replaces the old "comments" field

If you want people to stay away from a fan fic, or read it for Bile Fascination or Snark Bait reasons, post it in SoBadItsGood.Fan Fic or Horrible.Fan Fic. If you want to read articles for other fanfics of varying quality, go to FanFic.Fan Fics.
