New Fic Recomendations: The flipside of Sturgeon's Law
06-02-2012, 07:29 PM
Postnuptial Disagreements: Another Sekirei/Nasuverse crossover, featuring the son of Kayneth and Sola-Ui from Fate/Zero. It's dark and bloody with a first-person protagonist who is arrogant, bigoted, and wants to be a magnificant bastard but doesn't have the experience to pull it off properly. It also has lots of character development as the protagonist shows signs of growing beyond this.
----------
No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
Firstly, I must endorse the story Postnuptial Disagreements
I offer the additional grounds that I find it:
1. Funny.
2. Charming.
3. Has a solid depiction of the values of magecraft.
4. Manages to avoid having a viewpoint character who is too able, too successful or too much an exemplar of the ideals of Magecraft.
I do not know one way or the other if the ending, should it come, will be to my taste.
Because I am a nitpicking argumentative jerk, I dunno if I buy Calculus being a part of the education of a Magus. I am emotionally* inclined to consider Calculus part of the fundamental basis of what an adult needs to know. However, I think Nasuverse Mages might be too insular and have the wrong mindset for some types of math. It's debateable, so it can be justified by authorial fiat.
As for a recommendation to justify this post in this thread, I am reminded of some stories by a George Lorimer.

More Letters From a Self-Made Merchant to His Son

I think these are fun.
I may have posted them before.
*Which means, yes, I know this doesn't make sense. I know full well that just because my emotions have concluded something does not make it correct or feasible.

I'd like to recommend the best quest ever, and no it's totally unrelated to who the GM is, honestly! (Well ok maybe not honestly :p )
Be warned though that it contains severe spoilers for Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Mass Effect. It's basicly my take on what would happen if instead of Shepard you have an Outside of Context problem for the Reapers to deal with.
I was thinking about running it on these boards but sb gets slightly more traffic and I hate Yuku. Of course SB has been down half the time so the joke is on me, but oh well.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

When Professor McGonagall went to visit Harry Watson, son of Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, to deliver his Hogwarts letter, she certainly wasn't expecting to find the cause behind Harry Potter's disappearance.

The Dalek from the episode Dalek gets tossed into the DC universe instead of successfully self-destructing. And then it gets a Red Lantern power ring. You can probably see where this is going.
I've been following this on SB, and it is quite fun.

Here's my fanficiton.net C2 ... it's got 261 entries and has a huge overlap with fics that are usually rec'd here. (I've gotten a good third of it from this forum.) If you guys have extra time and don't mind looking through a long list of fics I've enjoyed over the last decade, go for it:
http://www.fanfiction.net...Write_More/64259/99/1/1/
Hello everyone, this is my intro. I've enjoyed fanficiton for years and been a long-time lurker at this forum for the rec's. That's my list of stuff that passes my personal Sturgeon's Law. I like action, adventure, drama in all sorts of fandoms, and I dislike fanfiction romance. In the future, I'll just be recommending individual stories. Thanks for inviting me,

Twin Suns Burning, a Naruto/Exalted crossover where Sasuke is exalted as a Green Sun Prince (an Infernal Exalted). Amazing writing quality.
----------------------------------------------------
"Anyone can be a winner if their definition of victory is flexible enough." - The DM of the Rings XXXV
Lucillia has started an AU of her Naruto AU 'First Try'-verse.
First Try: Team Tetsuo
Divergence being, after chapter 11 in the original First Try, that Tetsuo manages to turn in his Genin Team Paperwork before Kakashi, so instead of Naruto being taken off Tetsuo and given to Kakashi to reform Team 7 (as happens in the main AU) Tetsuo ends up getting Sasuke and Sakura put on Naruto's team.
But Tetsuo realises that the two 'number ones' are so screwed up that DRASTIC ACTION has to be taken to get the group ready for the next Chunnin exams (which he promised to Naruto) and he convinces Kakashi to help him put the new team through remedial training (and a desperate attempt to unscrew Sasuke's brain).
The last line of the most recent chapter - 3, had me giggling:
Quote:...Two months in the wilderness with Kakashi and Tetsuo-sensei wouldn't be too bad. Two months with Haruno Sakura and his highness Uchiha Sasuke however...

RE Twin Suns... fair warning, maybe one in four pages have a story post, one in ten lit crit, the rest is arguing over Exalted rules and how evil/stupid/insane canon Itachi and Sasuke are. I mean, GODDAMN.
