Things to rec

[schneefink]

My "to rec" doc currently has ten pages. This is not ideal. I need some motivation, so pick what applies.

I love cross-overs! And it length or completion status doesn't matter to me as long as what's already written is interesting enough to be recced.

[schneefink]

Seems like we're in the minority when it comes to not minding not-completed works! I prefer if it doesn't end in a huge cliffhanger, of course, but often what's already there is worth reading even when unfinished.

I love Star Wars time travel fics! It's been so long since I've read a new one, or long Star Wars fic in general.

[schneefink]

Well I don't know about new ones - I was mostly thinking of some ongoing WIPs; I added this option on a whim and don't actually have a list ready like I have for the others. Come to think of it, the latest long Star Wars fic I loved isn't time travel but canon divergence, I might combine those.

[justanorthernlight]

"New" might not be the right word, I guess not completed before 2016 or so (a lot of the ones I was thinking of were written pre-TFA, some all the way back from 2005ish).

There's so much SW fic at the moment it's almost a pain to go into the tags on Ao3. I'm happy for most kinds of longfic recs :).

[trobadora]

I'm always interested in more Yuletide recs! And while I mostly prefer longer stories otherwise, with fandoms that small it really doesn't matter.

[schneefink]

I never get around to making as many recs for Yuletide as I intend, sadly. (Except, apparently, 2016.)

These polls are missing a "tocky box!" option and I am OFFENDED.

[schneefink]

Apologies! Clearly I don't make enough polls, to miss something so obvious.

NiF, NiF, NiF!! :D

[schneefink]

Noted :D

[marginaliana]

Time travel time travel time travel!

(I'm also up for the canon divergence that you mentioned in another comment.)

[schneefink]

Noted :D
I love time travel and canon divergence in any fandom, but Star Wars fandom is particularly fond of it and has many great examples.
