These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' general fanfic, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own finding to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Fan Fic Recommendations|here]].
 
You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting [[Conversation in Thethe Main Page]] though; that goes in the discussion page.
 
''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''
