Rec Communities

There is so much Sueprantural fanfic that finding the stories you want to read can be a challenege. Rec communities provide recommendations on fan creations -- primarily fiction, but also art and vids. These are the major rec communities on Livejournal for Supernatural work. Generally they rec work from Livejournal, with occasional entries from sites such as Insanejournal and Dreamwidth and occasionally fanfiction.net.

Other places to look for stories are communities that run Fanfic challenges & exchanges.
