5Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[FanficRecommendations here]][[note]]a copy of the template is just below[[/note]]. Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexual[[note]]please note this includes all sexual activity, not just homosexual or bisexual, including het.[[/note]] or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

7Reviews 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 Recommendations Line. Please refrain from posting "Comments" or Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage though; that goes in the discussion page.

10Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link)
11* Recommended by: Troper Name
12* ''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.
13* ''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.
14* ''Tags:'' If any are known. This would be things like SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}, {{Lemon}}, DarkFic, any known {{Crossover}}s etc.
