New Fic Recomendations: The flipside of Sturgeon's Law

 yesilmavi Wrote:wheel of time fic. rand, mat & perin. They tap their taveren powers early and the consequences thereof. It's not bad, but be warned, the author takes Jordan's Cosmology and puts it through a cuisinart. yesilmavi Wrote:wheel of time fic. rand, mat & perin. They tap their taveren powers early and the consequences thereof.I also tried it, but couldn't get very far. Redefinition of cosmology? OK.. it's all fantasy. I could not abide the factual errors in terms of construction time tables in a low technology setting. Highly developed infrastructure takes decades, not four years. Also extravagant domed cathedral/libraries are thirty year projects without magical levitation. If the author didn't spend 10,000+ words describing town infrastructure, I would not have cared, but the more it was mentioned the more it took me out of the story.
Edit: Rec Retracted, with apologies

By the same author that does Wand and Shield. Peggy Sue Naruto fic that pings all my requirements for reading that type of fic. Namely, decent writing, no character bashing(Absolutely _hate_ Sakura and Sasuke bashing) , and a lack of keeping to the rails.  s3yang Wrote:http://www.fanfiction.net...64234/1/The-Leafs-NarutoDoesn't do much to keep Naruto in character, though. Sneaky and Ruthless aren't big Naruto character traits.
Here's a crossover I'm fairly sure has never been done before:
The One-Eyed Man Is Unhappy Buffy/Amélie

Harry Potter and the Transfer Student is being taken down in a few days as the author has released (via Amazon) an original novel based on the OCs created for the story. -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode. ECSNorway Wrote:http://www.fanfiction.net...and-the-Transfer-StudentMade it over a third of the way through this and couldn't force myself to continue. The character may or may not be fine in her own story, but the bungling of the HP characters made both her and the fic intensely grating. A fine case study in why "my character has flaws and a lot of the characters don't like her" is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for Mary Suism.
I've recently started with Fate/stay night, and there's a lot of good fics out there. This one is *BLEEP*ing epic.
http://www.fanfiction.net...n-My-Robe-And-Wizard-Hat Hard to describe what's going on, but it starts with a significantly different Shirou and his father, living next door to an Emiya Kiritsugu and his daughter Ilya, and a lot of memes. Many, MANY memes. My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Atom Bomb of Courteous Debate. Get yours. I've been writing a bit.
Indeed, I've read this one. It's uproarious.
Inspired by such classics as "Beautiful Destroyer Sailor Moon" and "The Key to a Successful Interview....". There is a WIP Tsukihime-centric sequel to it. I shall seek out a couple of other good FSN fics for you, Blue. Are you fond of crossovers? And if so, what series would you like to see? I know some good ones for Bleach, Zero's Familiar, Harry Potter, Macross Frontier, a few others... ETA: http://www.fanfiction.net...0/1/FateBlack-Reflection Fate/Black-Reflection: FSN Bleach crossover. Ichigo and company are sent to Fuyuki City to investigate strange goings-on. And who's this 'Rider' girl that's attached herself to Ichigo? http://www.fanfiction.net...07791/1/From-Fake-Dreams From Fake Dreams (non-crossover) Shortly after the end of the 4th Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu dreams of a dark future where the child he's adopted must fight in the 5th War. He decides to make sure the boy is as prepared as possible for that eventuality. (300,000 words later, the War actually begins, Shirou having had many adventures already....) http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7879859/1/Remember Remember (non-crossover, Fate/Zero) Tohsaka Tokiomi, Rin's father, makes his preparations for the 4th Holy Grail War. Instead of Gilgamesh, however, he gets an Archer in red... http://www.fanfiction.net...6/1/The-Prince-of-Swords The Prince of Swords (Zero no Tsukaima) Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere needs a Familiar. She gets a Hero. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6372400/1/Chaos-Theory Chaos Theory (non-crossover) Shirou takes a wrong turn. Ilya's mind gets turned upside-down. http://www.fanfiction.net...676/1/FateProphecy-Break Fate/Prophecy-Break (HP crossover) Harry tries out a summoning ritual. And gets a cranky Counter-Guardian stuffed in his head. Archer as Mentor to Harry. http://www.fanfiction.net...9127/1/Wings-of-Frontier Wings of Frontier (Macross Frontier) Having lost Rin in the Zentraedi Holocaust, Emiya Shirou takes a job with SMS aboard Macross Frontier, following a trail of secrets. http://www.fanfiction.net...d-the-Philosophers-Stone http://www.fanfiction.net...d-the-Chamber-of-Secrets "Herwald von Einzbern". Harry Potter is raised by the Einzbern clan to be Ilya's protector. Then he goes to Hogwarts. Oops. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6847243/1/London-Nights London Nights - A very different Holy Grail War unfolds when Harry and several other prominent wizards summon Heroic Spirits to their aid. -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
New, got, interesting, read (and enjoyed, twice), tried, read twice, not familiar w/ Frontier, read, and very interesting.
Thank you for the effort, ECS. It's funny- I just really got into it, and I already had ~15 tabs of fic open for it. Now I'll have some more. My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Atom Bomb of Courteous Debate. Get yours. I've been writing a bit.
Always glad to share the fun. And I wouldn't mind having some of your recommendations as well.
A warning, 'Remember' has huge - and I do mean FHUGE - spoilers for Fate/Zero, if you haven't seen that yet. (I'm eyeing London Nights and imagining an AU of it where Neville Longbottom summons Fate/Zero's Rider - Alexander the Great....) -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
*Pulls out the whole mental checklist of Fate fics that I remember.*
Bleack Reflection? Check. Calvo? Check. gabriel blessing. Not here, odd as Calvo is mentioned. John Biles? Not mentioned. (It'll be somewhere off of thekeep.org/~wombat) Pale Wolf? Again not mentioned. (I know this author has updated the stories on fukufics and maybe spacebattles.) That said, I figure most of these have already been well attested here. Thanks for the suggestions/links.
God Slaying Blade Works by Marcus Galen Sands F S/N & Campione crossove (4 chapters so far).
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8560965/1/G ... lade-Works Interesting story. Shirou is added to Campione, (no replacing Godou).
http://www.fanfiction.net...7235/14/Path-of-the-King
Adding onto the FSN recommendations is Path of the King where Shirou tries to be a real Green Arrowesque type superhero.  _________________________________ Take Your Candle, Go Light Your World.
FateZero Sense: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8240891/1/Fate-Zero-Sense
In which, during the fourth Grail War, the Grail Corruption gets bored and decides to mess with the summonings just to confuse people with more intresting heroes. Featuring an Assassin that demonstraes while reading the archives in the Root of the World may be a very bad idea. FateStay Away: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8429877/1/Fate-Stay-Away The incomplete sequel. 
The Artist And The Faker: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8556725/
In which some roles get shuffled around by Servants to the point that a completely different Saber gets summoned by Shirou. This has the potential for hilarity once Gilgamesh meets the only Hero who just might be more arrogant than him in the greater catalog of summoned Servants to date. - Grumpy Uncle Gearhead Jinx999 Wrote:Yeah, but this is explained in that Naruto has had a very long and hard life in which he has learned that sometimes if you want to keep your precious people safe and happy, then you gotta take the gloves off every now and then. It's only OOC for a version of Naruto that is native to that early time frame. This one... is not.s3yang Wrote:http://www.fanfiction.net...64234/1/The-Leafs-NarutoDoesn't do much to keep Naruto in character, though. Sneaky and Ruthless aren't big Naruto character traits. 
I can't believe this has never been recommended here before (at least not so far as I can tell from my cursory searches, but I've been known to overlook the obvious before).
A one-shot fic by Eliezer Yudkowsky: Peggy-Susie. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
InquisitiveRaven: It still works if you click on it, tho. A nice thing about fanfiction.net's URL system: As long as the fanfiction.net/s/ and the numbers are intact, the rest of it gets thrown out. The rest is only there for human consumption, so broken links still work most of the time.
Thanks Luc "TTH uses something similar" French
Either way, fixed it.
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. 
... I think my brain imploded with that last line.
