One thing apparent from both our 10th anniversary survey and quick user survey is people want recommendation lists and want them now! So we want our users head to the archive, to scour their favorite and come make some recommendations!
We want to build several lists and cover a variety of genres, pairings and story subjects. We prefer recommendations to be completed stories but incomplete stories are acceptable (we will just note it in our lists). We also prefer stories that are posted at the MTT archive though off-site recommendations are allowed.
If the fanfic takes place during or near one specific episode, please say which episodes to help us build our “Fanfic Recommendations” sections of our recaps!
Topics/lists (just a rough list, these can certainly be added to and some topics will likely be combined)
- Before the Cameras
- Summer of ’06 (aka takes place between Casino Night and Gay Witch Hunt)
- In Stamford fics
- Jim & Pam First Date Fics
- Anything during specific relationship stages: Dating, Engaged, Married life
- Wedding/Honeymoon fics
- Baby Fics
- What If Scenarios still closely tied to the show (aka what if Scranton closed and Stamford stayed open, what if Pam married Roy)
- Full on AUs in modern times, (Jim and Pam meet in college)
- Historical AUs (Jim and Pam during WWII)
- Any canonical pairing that’s NOT Jim/Pam (Dwight/Angela, Kelly/Ryan, Karen/Jim, Michael/Jan, Michael/Holly, etc)
- Non-Canonical and/or Slash pairing (Pam/Toby, Jim/Ryan, Pam/Karen, Kelly/Andy, and we’re sure there were others!)
- Life After Dunder Mifflin fics
- Favorite One-Shots
- Favorite Epics
- Fics with Chatting/Text/Emailing as a major element
- And of course, Smut for smut’s sake fics 😉
Please post the category your fic falls into with your recommendation. Post the full title and the author (links are also very helpful!)
If all these lists are overwhelming we can start off easy: reply to this comment with your recommendation for Before The Cameras fics, anything that either entirely or mostly takes place before the cameras arrived at Dunder Mifflin in 2005. When we get a few here, we can move on to another topic
(though feel free to keep recommending other fics)
If anyone’s interested, here are some lists (mostly on LJ) that people have made with their recommendations:
Office Recs List from ficsbypunim (a LOT of recs here)
Office Fic Recommendations from oobadnama (also has some comments on why the fic is recommended)
Fanfiction Recs from 823freckles (a masterlist of a bunch of fandoms, also lists Office fics by pairing which is handy!)
Master List of Andy Fanfic from Andy_Chronicles (fics featuring our favorite Cornell alum and a Capella singer)
Sexy JAM fic recs from shornt (a thread of people’s favorite sexytimes fics)
ETA: Fic Recs from rainbowstevie (about a dozen or so recommendations in a variety of pairings, includes detailed comments from recommender)
