Proof that the remaining 10% [[Sturgeon's Law|is worth dying for]].
 
These are recommendations made by [[Troper|Tropers]]s for ''[[{{BASEPAGENAMEROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' [[Fanfic|Fan Fics]]s, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in a certain 'fic, based on who recommended it. Authors of fics are ''not permitted'' to recommend their own fics; an author [[The Shill|shilling]] his own work via a recommendation he wrote himself lacks the independent point of view which gives a recommendation any value at all; it is also a level of self-promotion that we do not permit at All The Tropes.
 
Feel free to add a fanficrecommendation of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found below. Make sure you sign your recommendation! ''No-name recommendations may be deleted at other tropers' leisure.'' Do warn when a fanfic includes sexual situations.<ref>please note this includes all sexual activity, not just homosexual or bisexual, including het.</ref> Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, [[Shipping]] is [[Serious Business]]. Likewise, warn if it may head into [[Better Than Canon|non-canon]] territory.
 
Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.
Line 15:
* ''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 (warn 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]], [[Slash Fic]], any Trigger Warnings, etc. This is also where you would put character names with [[Characterization Tags]] if doing so would be equally indicative. ("uber!Harry" for ''[[Harry Potter]]'', for instance.)
* ''Comments:'' If you want to say something more about why you're recommending the fic, but please, keep it brief. We don't want [[All The Tropes:Conversation in the Main Page|Conversation in the Main Page]].
