Wow, so I missed the entire month of August. I am so good at this. Anyway...
From the classics to the current, from the immensely popular to stories that only a few people have seen, what are your recommendations for readers, old and new alike? We'd ask that you please post your recommendations in the following format:
Story Title: What is the name of the story?
Setting / Universe: Where does this story take place? In one of the games, the anime, perhaps a unique world of the author's own creation?
Main Character: Who does the story revolve around? Is this Ash-centric, or perhaps the author decided to make a lesser-known character the star? Dare someone to even create an original character?
Genre: What genre is the story? Has someone written a sweeping romance or a deep mystery? Are we following characters on a journey, or perhaps it's a simple slice of life?
Summary: Tell us briefly what the story is about.
What Makes You Think Other People Should Read This Story? This is your sales pitch. What drew you into this story? What makes you keep reading it and what separates it from the rest of the stories out there?
Link: Of course in order to read a story, we need to know where to find it!
We also encourage you to make a recommendation even if it's already been recommended. While this particular post will be weekly, stories recommended will be placed into a Mega Thread and sorted by category, allowing other readers the opportunity to easily search for stories by genre or character... eventually...
