Technically 'Dance of the Pyreflies' isn't actually a new recommendation... granted it hasn't been mentioned since the last update. Liked it
though.

Harry Potter and the Muggle Mess, an extraordinarily interesting one-shot that sends things into a very original AU direction starting from the first
chapter of the first Potterverse book.

BGC 2032 SI: Yours Truly 2032

Dartz-IRL's description: "Megatokyo was Huge. Glass,
steel, concrete and tarmac, flickering neon lights and cold blue streetlamps; it was the apotheosis of urbanisation, a technological God among cities. A
Bubblegum Crisis SI, in the traditional Form."

I appreciate a good shout-out as much as the next dork, but does anyone else think that Dartz's references can get a little too blatant? "Makinami Illustrious," that's borderline. The agent of the insertion being named "Toren Smith," also borderline. A landlady named Akane Saotome who goes out of her way to mention that she used to be a martial artist? That's not. Moreover, it didn't even get noticed by the SI character, who not only should've recognized the name(s), but also his/her own writing style. Or am I just thinking that because of how much I like that trope?
Pronounced "shy guy."

Ditto that. I'm really loving this one.

Echoes of the Fallen Xander goes as a mutant, but this time he retains something
far more important than the mutant's power.

Harry Potter and the Discworld is a more interesting take on the HP/Discworld cross. If it keeps up its quality, this one could be fun.

Over on Spacebattles.com, there's a little shared-world round-robin fic with a fun little premise.

This is the thread for actual story bits

There are a couple of discussion threads where people are working on scenes and such.

Title: "An Entry with a Bang".

Premise: The Earth of Tom Clancy's novels is, in 1957, dropped into the Battletech universe, on the outskirts of the Outworlds Alliance, by a 'Ring of Fire' type event approximately 50 light years in radius. By 2005, a week or two before the light from the new sky reaches Earth, a shipload of random pirates drops by... locally, it's now 3020, the Inner Sphere is about to catch fire.

In re: the Battletech/Clancy Cross... Stick to the story-only posts if you can, there's a big pissing match going on between the "ZOMG MEKS

The problem of combining most sci-fi settings occurs when the laws of physics both settings ignore come into conflict.

...'Akrit'?

There are a couple of rather vocal people who believe that spamming M1A2 Abrams MBTs at mechs will generate enough 120mm head hits to splash the mechs, even if
we rule they're only doing a couple of points of damage per shot.

On the other hand, I love the one snippet posted about a ranty building super who gets honked off at mechs stomping up and down the streets and, when one hides
next to his building, dumps a bucket of roofing tar over the cockpit window.

"AKRIT" = Badly spelled "accurate." I won't go into detail. It makes me cranky t oeven remember the argument

Old Science fiction short story, perhaps not in the same vein as fanfic, but still very much worth a read. A Pail of Air

There's a short preface before the actual story starts.

This is what inevitably happens to fiction threads on Spacebattles/Stardestroyer.net. For some reason people love to savagely criticize others
for not getting the tiniest hard science minutia of whatever topic they love, on message boards started around scifi settings with aliens with rubber foreheads
and starships whose stardrives rely more on magic than actual science sometimes. I stopped reading Armageddon Wars because even though I liked the story, the
traces of those wantastic arguments kept popping up and I found it so distasteful i couldn't go on.

Too true, HBM. At least when they post on the Pit of Voles, that kind of thing sticks to the Reviews section.
