Completed Fanfiction Recommendations
04-11-2011, 01:04 PM
I like well written fanfiction and I like my stories to have an ending. These two things in conjunction are none too common, but I'm always looking for the completed works that are up to snuff.
Give me what you've got. One-shots don't count, but anything with more than one chapter and a 'complete' tag will do. Older stuff is very much welcome, and anything that's in one of the recommendation or update threads that has finished should get posted here as well, just for completeness' sake (and because I hate having to dig through the archives looking for the word 'completed', I've done it twice already and I still find new stuff when I go back).
To start things off, here are three of my all-time favorites:
Free Radical - This is generally considered to be THE definitive System Shock fanfiction.
Children of an Elder God - My favorite NGE Fanfiction of all time. The website hosting it hasn't updated in a while, but the last chapter can be found here.
Neon Exodus Evangelion - My second favorite NGE Fanfiction, by a very narrow margin.
And here's a couple that aren't technically fanfic, but that I'm going to add here anyway:
The Metamorphosis of Prime Intelect & Passages in the Void - The two completed works by Localroger of K5, perhaps the only fiction I ever saw posted there worth sharing, but they're both really awesome.

I'm not exactly a veteran of these boards but try to gauge the tone of the forums before you post stuff like this? Spacebattles, this isn't.

I am aware the tone was uncalled for; that's how much these upset me(the fact these are among the best Gundam SEED fics is a damning epithet for the other ones). But don't worry about it; I've said my piece, and won't say anything else on this matter.

I'm pretty sure that by "this stuff", he meant comments like the "all of these suck" - the implication of the "Spacebattles, this isn't" being that that sort of comment may be relatively common there, but isn't appropriate here.

I've been staying out of the whole fracas for two reasons: Not wanting to accidently make things worse, and having limited computer access. That being said, at least give Dauntless and Serenity a shot, they are good. As for further recs:

Black Moon Rising

(Sailor Moon)
There's also this one Nanoha fic with elements lifted from the Guilty Gear videogame series, but I can't remember the title.

A couple of completed fics that I've come across that may be up to scratch.
Polarity: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5124106/1/
(Marvel - Spider-Man)
Summary: When a Romero-style zombie outbreak hits, three
supervillains, led by a long time loser, find themselves doing whatever
it takes to save themselves, and eventually, the rest of humanity.
(It can be a little disjointed in places, an rather humorous in others, but is still a rather fascinating tale of a B-List 'villain' take on the world and what he does to ultimately save it.)
For Laughs: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6513822/1/
(Batman Begins/Dark Knight and Criminal Minds Crossover)
Summary: If the BAU wants to catch the Joker, they'll need to
profile the Batman. But will all of the team survive to close the case?
Not slash. Gen fic.
A Study in Rum: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6096601/1/
(Sherlock Holmes/PotC)
Summary: One wicked and clever pirate. One singular and
brilliant detective. One hundred and fifty years apart. An impossible
meeting? Perhaps just improbable...

Wilde Things
06-09-2011, 09:02 PM
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that no one mentioned James Austin Wilde's "The Saotome Gambit" (Ranma/BattleTech), or "Ranma Goes to War" and its sequel "Chasing the Wind." Great stuff. However, since the website hosting those fics appears to have dropped off the face of the earth, it looks like the wayback machine is the only option (unless someone has all of the FFML archives from the time period in question):
Even the Wayback Machine's archive of that site appears to be spotty, but this page appears to have all the pieces.

Well, I have chapters 28-32 and both epilogues of "The Saotome Gambit", but nothing before that (at least not outside of my mail archive, which is complete back through the June 2001 revival), and nothing I can find of "Chasing the Wind" at all - although the name does ring a bell.
What time periods of the FFML are we talking about? I wouldn't be surprised if I actually do have it, and just never bothered to save it out to separate files.

Hm. It occurs to me that this thread should be pinned as a resource. So I'll do that.
ETA: I have all of "Chasing the Wind" in my archives, as well as the second sequel, "Once More Into The Breach" (which is billed as "Ranma Goes To War II", while "Chasing" is simply described as "set in the aftermath" of RGTW).
