Fanfic Recommendations: The Next Generation

[classicdrogn]

Cool bearings! New tab opened at the head of the queue. Oh, and while I'm here, I'll mention that UnwelcomeStorm (author of Constellations, Stacked Deck, Hunter, and several other good to great fics that haven't been updated in a while) has started a new story thread, Someone Else's Toybbox: A Worm CYOA Gone Wrong in an attempt to get back in the writing groove after various IRL complications in the past few years. As the title suggests, it is indeed a CYOA based SI, but one where the build was altered or botched from the MCs without explanation, and indeed without any cringey ROB chats at all. Not normally up to the length or level of interest that I'd bring here, but UnwelcomeStorm has a solid backlist and if nothing else helping them get the hype back for writing might spark a return of one of the others, so just like Alivaril a new fic thread by them is one I'll immediately jump on no questions asked.

And if you missed it, Alivaril's new fic is Antagonistic Appropriation, an original magical girls setting with a Dark MG who grew up in and was recruited by the Umbral Empire as the primary protagonist. I'm pretty sure I did in fact bring it up here before, but since it came up I linked it again, and I know original fiction doesn't get the same traction as fanfic where existing interest in the setting or characters makes for an added draw but just check it out if you haven't. You're missing out on some very fun stuff.
