Fanfiction Worth Reading
« on: February 16, 2014, 12:33:11 am »
Let's face it: most fanfiction is garbage.  So, here's a place to talk about fanfic actually worth taking a look at.

I'll go first.  I recently came across a Sherlock Holmes fanfiction called Sorry to Knock You Up, Watson, a hilarious look at how the English language has changed over time.

Yes, it's My Little Pony, but it's also one of the most faithful crossovers with BIOSHOCK of all things that I've ever seen:  http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18342/harmony

If that doesn't strike your fancy, how about SG-1 and Rurouni Kenshin? https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1941214/1/Spin-Cycle

On that same note (from the same authoress as the last), there's SG-1 and Gundam Wing... https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1792282/1/Upon-A-Fiery-Steed
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

This just begs to be drawn into an illustrated novella. Or make an anime. :P

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I haven't read that much fanfiction but this is a pretty good one: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8358093/1/Love-in-Shades-of-Green-and-Gray

I do have to warn that
a) it's Teen titans romance (Mostly about BeastBoy and Raven)
b) IT GOES ON FOREVER! Seriously, the guy seems to be writing a novel out of it so it starts to suffer from fatique at some points but definitely a good writer and he uses the characters well.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Okay, since we're talking about Let's Plays akin to fanfiction now, there is The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing.

Well Siggy, you did the impossible. You've actually caught my interest with Harry Potter fanfiction of all things. I'm halfway through the first chapter and I really like what I've read so far. The timing's good as well, since I just finished with the last book I was reading. Gotta love it when things just fall into place like that.
