Fanfiction

Goldstein · #1 1st August 2009

I thought that it wouldn't hurt to have a topic for discussion/recommendations of fanfiction. Whatever you enjoy or hate, I'd just ask that you warn us if it's young-Riku/Mickey vore-fic or anything like that.

I'll start by mentioning a few that I enjoy, but feel free to use this topic however you wish. It won't say no, just like guys in fanfiction!
-Welcome to City 17 is a novelization of Half-Life 2, currently up to level 7 (Highway 17). The writing gets a bit boring/repetitive at spots, but I'd blame that on HL2 not having much happening at times.

-Interpolation(s) are a set of tiny stories that could sort of fit in gaps in Half-Life 2 and the Episodes. They just add a bit of depth and texture to the HL2 world.

-Forward, paraphrasing the author, is a hypothetical Firefly season two, set after the film Serenity. I'll say that it does feel quite like the original Firefly, with the caveats that it riffs on some of Firefly's episode plots a bit too much and that it

Spoiler

-The Naked Quidditch Match, set in the Harry Potter universe, obviously, revolves around a magically binding dare to play the Gryffindor/Slytherin Quidditch game with the Gryffindore team nude. The story is notable to me both because it can be quite funny, and because it's written completely as a series of 'm-mails', magic-based e-mails. This is probably the only one I should warn anyone about, having both nudity and Harry/Ginny relationship content.

-Those Lacking Spines ridicules and satires common trends in the Kingdom Hearts fandom. The story follows Vexen, Xaldin, and Lexaeus as they attempt to restore their fellow Organization members and prevent evil from taking over the universe. A bit of a weak plot, but among the funniest stories that I've ever read, and breaks the fourth wall well.

I'll have to think about what fics I could mention that would be more in-line with this forum's theme.

Chibichibi · #2 1st August 2009

This is a great thread idea. Unfortunately my fave fics are not something most people here would enjoy :P

Though i think i can find something semi normal somewhere, lols. I'll edit this post after i look through my stuff.

x.x I found nothing that had a pairing people would like, so, i went without one lawls
The Dragonmasters
---AU. Harry Potter disappeared! While the Wizarding world sink into war, Harry is thrown in a whole new world and left to fend for himself. He will have to prove himself worthy of bonding to the long thought dead Magical Dragons and becoming a Dragonmaster.

Severitus challages ftw! Basically there was a challenge issued a while back to make a Severus is Harry's father story, these are my faves: (Note, I'm not very picky except for the fact that everything i read is 100k words or more)

Host · #3 1st August 2009

I believe I’ve already mentioned the Pokegirl story ‘...where none have gone before’. I’ve only got ‘Wild horses and Pokegirls’ to add to that, but a lot of the Pokegirl fiction tends to be good. (And, of course, a lot of it isn’t…)

Chibichibi · #4 1st August 2009

I'm enjoying the hell out of the firefly story. The author has done a marvelous job.

Copper · #5 1st August 2009

Yeah, I'd add my favorites but I'm not sure if some of them are around any more. I'll have to check my one site. It's about the only one that's got a nice, normal m/f pairing. As you can guess from my own writing, I mostly read yaoi and since I get the feeling that'd not go over well (despite being well written and/or funny in my opinion) I'll just say that I'll share if asked to.

*goes to site* *tries fanlinks* *gets trojan fixed warning from mcaffee* Yeah, I'll have to look elsewhere and see if I can't find that story again. And *sighs* *deletes site from faves* Shame too. Was a really nice story.

Chibichibi · #6 1st August 2009

Same problem here Copper. All of my fave HP pairings are ones people here would find disturbing :P

dmronny · #7 1st August 2009

What are you talking about, it's impossible to disturb me. Of course I'm even stranger than most people here. Which is quite an accomplishment now that I think about it.

Goldstein · #8 1st August 2009

If it's something that you enjoy, I say go ahead and post it. Just maybe mention what you think we'd dislike. And on that note, I forgot that the Firefly story, Forward, has River kissing a girl in one of the chapters. So yeah, if you don't like that sort of thing, don't read it.

Maybe I'll go first, and dig up some of the weird Kingdom Hearts fics that I've seen. Sora/Riku/Kairi with tentacles, for example. Or lion formed Sora/Kairi.

Nuff' said.

Goldstein · #11 2nd August 2009

You can't do that without linking the videos.
Half Life: Full Life Consequences
Half-Life: Full-life Consequences 2: What Has Tobe Done
Half Life: Hero Beggining
Half-Life Full-life Consequences: Free Man
That last one is a bit modified from the fic, I believe.

Copper · #12 2nd August 2009

Like Chibi said, you're warned, then, and most of the stories have their own disclaimers at the top, so you know more detail about what you're getting into. Still wish I could find that Seifer x Quistus one. It was really sweet.

One Good Turn - Cid x Reno. I dunno why I like this one. I just do. I think it's more the imagery.

Fifth Time's a Charm - It's an implied Reno and Rufus. There really isn't any "naughty bits" described, more implied and mentioned in passing. I like it cuz it goes more into the character's character.

http://destiny.ponderosa121.com/art-...nals/#more-459 - This one's art. I like it because I actually have a gal friend that I think Reno looks like in this picture including the not so large chest but minus the bit at the waist *laughs* (it's very PG, too, nothing pervy outside the happy trail.)

The site, Destiny Interrupted, has some other stories and art on it, too. Haven't really poked around, but they have a good variety. All listed on the side there, if you follow the links.

The Games We play - A smutty m/m/m/m fun story about an interesting game of Truth or Dare staring the boys of FF8

What'cha Gonna do with a Cowboy - I *love* this story. Again, it's all four FF8 boys. What I think I like best is the relationship dynamics more than the sex *laughs* My favorite bit comes near the end with Irvine and Seifer.

A Cowboy's Fantasy
Part 1 (Irvine x Zell)
Part 2 (Irvine x Seifer)
Part 3 (Irvine x Squall)

I think it's just Irvine's accent that I like so much with this story. Kinda pwp, but I like it.

The Journey - This one's post-FF8 and also flashback in game. Has Seifer x Squall and Irvine x Squall but I like it more for the character relationships and the different views of game events.

And then it rained - This one puts the FF8 crew in the real world (Florida). Reading it, I almost can't help but thinking the author's actually talking about something that really happened in their life. It's a very touching story actually and I like it up to the last section where the author feels the need to sum things up in a nice tidy package and assert herself into the story. If it was a fanficing over of real life events, up to and including the end, okay, but if not, the last part seems too...*shrugs* I dunno. It's not Mary Sue-ish, but as I've gotten older, I dislike OC's in fanfics.

For his love - Part one, with links following to the other 19 chapters (they're short). Given that I just spent an hour and a half reading this, I thought it worth sharing. Main pair is Zell x Squall, doesn't get really hot and heavy until Chapter 9 and has the exploration of character relationships that I like a lot, including some Seifer x Quistis.

Kusanagi · #13 2nd August 2009

I've mentioned this one before, but it IS my favorite:
The Least One Can Do
-- Ranma 1/2 fanfic, IT'S GOOD. Basically, the author puts another girl into Ranma's life, but this time she's NOT CRAZY PSYCHO; naturally Ranma falls for her. With a new girl in the picture and Ranma's inability to tell other people important things, shit hits the fan and things get serious - this isn't Takahashi's Ranma anymore by the end.

Host · #14 11th December 2009

Gentlemen, I must resurrect this thread and present you with a new fanfic series, for to not do so would be a travesty. Currently I've only read most of the original stories, (which make up likely less than 10% of the total fiction, and 2% of the different authors,) but the quality of what I have read cannot be denied. Or perhaps that’s just how I see it. Anyway, I present to you the Protectors of the Plot Continuum!

http://www.misssandman.com/PPC/ppc.html

The basic premise? An organization designed to enter bad (, BAD) fanfic and remove the characters warping the plot, i.e., the Mary Sues. Anyone with an ability to laugh at bad writing errors has the ability to appreciate these stories. Assuming they haven't written any of the stuff getting bashed, of course...

Chibichibi · #15 11th December 2009

Looks good :3

The Author of Chimera has a sequel to it.

The Author ShenLong1 is phenomenal. If you like this sort of thing. She does vast amounts of research to make sure she's getting the details right :3 This is all I've been reading on for the past few months actually. Her stories come in three parts and are all very very long.

Sinfulwolf · #16 11th December 2009

I've actually been convinced to write an ending for the Rogue in Diablo. I've had some interesting ideas for it.

Twisted · #17 12th December 2009

There was this series. It was called The Misadventures of Selphie Tilmitt.
I fucking loved it. I've never seen Ifrit decimating somebody's ass written so well.

Sadly... I CANT FIND IT ANYMORE ;_;

aika · #18 12th December 2009

How can there be so much fanfiction posted of my favourite 1 player game of all time (FF8), and all of it yaoi? ;_;

You people are mean.

I can't find either of these. Google is failing me!

Actually, tMoST, if you couldnt tell, all of the sex involved Selphie. So it was Selphie's ass that Ifrit was decimating.

Also! Found it again, but... http://www.freehomepages.com/evilynxis/new.htm Won't load. Dx

One of the main sites was down for a while but is up again.

Because most of the fanfic I read is yaoi and about the only woman people want to write/read about from FF8 is Quistis (or Shiva.)

Also, because Jesus hates you and so do I.

((Nah, seriously, on the site I browse most, the hetero pairings wind up either being mixed with yaoi or all angsty and "deathfic" which, quite honestly, I'd rather read about boys having sex than people dying.))

Actually considering Selphie is my favourite video game character of all time...

Copper · #23 14th December 2009

Unfortunately, you wouldn't know it from the fanfic writers. She tends to be portrayed as the annoying kid little sister or the hyperkinetic ball of endless energy that people either love or hate. The "And then it rained" portrays her well, but most of the other stories I've seen her in, she's either been a pest or "Irvine's girlfriend." Sometimes both. Admittedly, I went the "pest" route somewhat in my one story (that I haven't put up yet. Give me time.) but I kept her role to a minimum until the later portion of it but in "Guardian" I tried to make her sweeter.

Also, I did say "about the only woman," and you've proven that statement true. It's just hard to ignore the chick with the whip and glasses.

Twisted · #24 14th December 2009

Hate to keep bringing it up, but Misadventures of Selphie... none of that is true XD Hell, from what I remember, she spends more time getting pounded by GF's than she does around Irvine.

Goldstein · #25 14th December 2009

It isn't just FF8, of course. Fanfic writers do those sorts of things to female characters quite often. It's rather irritating, to me at least, especially yaoi is not my favorite cup of tea and I quite enjoy Kingdom Hearts. That fandom is frightening at times.

"Sora's massive Keyblade throbbed at the sight of the new keyhole..."

Yeah, sometimes that stuff scares the hell outta me O.o

I really need to get FF8 and quit mooching off my cousin when he comes around, don't I... >.<
From what I've played, though, it's not hard to see why Selphie is portrayed as she is in most fanfictions she's in. That said, I would like to see more fanfiction with her shown in a better light.

And now for something (not so) completely different:
Cloud X Auron... I CANNOT UNSEE WHAT I HAVE SEEN AAAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!

Chibichibi · #27 14th December 2009

There are few female characters i like anyway.

Like in Gundam Wing, Relena. Annoying pink bitch. KILL HER ALREADY, IT'S WHAT SHE WANTS!

*cough*

anyway, I will read het, just not very often because honestly the women in games/anime/books are annoying in Canon. Fucking Ginny. No purpose but to be a gorram love interest and make babies. *stabs*

I do like Hermione though... :3 I actually LIKE the Hermione/Ron canon pairing. I like it so much it takes and extraordinary story to use a different one. Ron/Harry just makes my brain explode after i vomit all over the floor.

Goldstein · #28 14th December 2009

I actually rather liked Ginny. But, eh. To each their own. But, I will ask you how are the women in games, anime and manga are annoying to you?

Speaking of Auron. There needs to be more Rikku x Auron.

I dunno. It's just something about certain characters that annoy the whale snot out of me. Especially the love interests cause they always gotta be saved or some shit. No. Save yourself gorramit.

I have much love for Samus/Master chief pairings.
