the longest rec list this fandom eva did see

[phenylic]

this all started because cathenian mentioned on Twitter that her friend was getting in Inception fandom and needed some recs to be ~eased in. OBVIOUSLY, I TOOK THIS REQUEST TO HEART because as of 10/25/2011, this rec list contains 618 fic recs. (I KNOW.)


THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

• This is NOT a complete list. It will never be a complete list. As long as fandom stays alive, this will never be finished.
• Also, despite common belief that I've read everything in this fandom, I HAVEN'T. 
• I will be modifying these lists as long as I continue reading fic :D
• Only reading & adding completed fics
• YOU SHOULD SEND ME YOUR RECS. I AM JUST SAYING. quid pro quo, bro. quid pro quo.
• er, the formatting varies a bit, but all recs A - Z are Arthur/Eames.
• Please heed the warnings as listed by the author! I didn't post warnings as I know some people don't like to be spoiled, but if you do have a trigger, look at the author's notes before reading.
• er, what else.
• oh, resources! um, me mostly, but there are other fabulous rec lists out there! When I first got into fandom, I worked off a list made by sms_recs (who is awesome, btw. if you're new to any of her fandoms, she will take care of you.) I also track mementis' rec:arthur/eames tag which has led to many beautiful a find *_* bookshop has also never led me astray. you can find her recs at delicious and on pinboard. 
• ASK ME FOR MY PERSONAL COMMENTARY :D i like telling people what's good about fics/authors, so if you want a better idea of what you're getting yourself into, just let me know!
• I left more notes/blathering here
• Here are reasons why your fic isn't listed.

MASTERPOST | A - H | I - O | P - T | U - Z + EXTRAS

This is a great and beautiful thing that you have done. I am kinda in shock and awe.

[koyuki]

Holy crap, you have outrecced me by 400+ fics.

*recs your recs because I do not have time now anyway*

[mementis.livejournal.com]

Ha! You've got me beat, my public, already posted recs are at 564 right now. And I thought /I/ was bad. I haven't posted any in a very long time, and I've got quite a list marked "to-rec," so this all reminds me: I should probably get to that sometime!!

I'm so glad you're doing this, it's really awesome :)

[hazysea.livejournal.com]

OH. MY GOD.

[cathenian.livejournal.com]

This... IS THE GREATEST THING EVER!

Dude, seriously! The small amount of recs you gave me for my friend were awesome, but this is a million times better! I'm sitting here, wondering how I'm going to have the time to read all of these fics, but I don't care, because this is GLORIOUS!

How are you so awesome? Now I get to sit down and go through all the stories I've never read before and reread all of the ones I loved the first time round. /fistpump

[elesteria.livejournal.com]

You are a badass of fandom, just so you know.

This list is amazing and I'm having a blast working my way through it. It's wonderful and very skilled at distacting me.

Never stop being amazing. :DDD <3

[stalker-magnet3.livejournal.com]

You are a saint. *bows*

[2-journey.livejournal.com]

Dear god, you win the internet and fandom and everything else. This list shall be my reading material for the foreseeable future, because after taking a peak at it I can tell there's a bunch of fic there I haven't read (and authors I've never heard of). Woooo hoo! \o/\o/\o/

How wonderful! Thank you for including me! ^_^

[ladderax.livejournal.com]

I love Sneaqui's pre-slash Arthur character study A Source of Little Visible Delight...so gorgeously written.
Also black_betty_26's WWII AU, Ne Me Quitte Pas
and adelaide_rain's deliciously romantic summer camp AU, Here By My Side, In My Summer

[sarahyyy.livejournal.com]

This is all sorts of brilliant. There are a few in here that I haven't read yet so we know where all my free time is going to be now. XD Thank you, bb! You're amazing.

Just wondering, do all these fics feature Bottom!Arthur? I'm pretty addicted to them, but have yet to come across one with Eames as the bottom. If I'm wrong let me know. I love all Arthur/Eames fics, but I do have a huge soft spot for Bottom!Eames =)

[bunnysquee]

hi there! i'd been slowly browsing through your recs on lj - have only reached "I" - and just noticed that you've deleted your journal! *cries piteously* is there any way i can bribe you to share all the links over here? i could maybe upload the airborne toxic event's last album, 'all at once' ... ???

[ruric]

Awesome! Thanks so much :o)

[rayi]

Oh wow! Thanks so much for this huge list! Just when I thought, I had read most of the good Arthurt/Eames fanfics! XD Haha, this will keep me busy for a while.

You said you'd like recs in return, so here you go :D
