No, if i did, i would be dead from the alcohol posisoning.

Celebrian. It's a classic work of Tolkien fanfiction, which will leave you seeing the characters and even the orcs in an entirely new light.

Yup, that shit is dangerous, unfortunately, good fanfics are addicting as fuck.

>>21978086
Harry Potter and the methods of rationality

greatest fanfic ever,

go

read it

NOW

My personal guide

1) Make sure you don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the setting, that way you won't get enraged when they inevitably fuck something up.

2) length is no guage of quality. SOME fics are very long because their author is passionate and values their fans input. Most of them are just people that call anyone that critisises their fic "trolls, haters of flamers" and go on regardless - My Immortal and The girl who lived (which I personally think is even worse than the former) are proof of this.

3) find an author you like and stick with them

4) it's fanfiction, there's always going to be spelling and grammar errors and you're just going to have to deal with it.

5) some fan websites have reccommended lists, they should be your first port of call.

6) unless it's from an author you've already read and like, avoid OCs. They're just not worth it, no matter how good the rest of it is.

So that's my guide. Sounds kinda obvious, I know, but it's better than blundering in the dark

>>21978358
>>21978086

its great, even if you didn't read harry potter, although it makes a few digs at the canon characters and their actions, its pretty self sufficient as a narrative

Thank you Anon. Your guide is helpfull but i already learned those lessons hard way. So can you suggest some fanfics?

There's a game called SkiFree, a pretty old one, but you should be able to download it and play it with no problems. Play it a few times.

Then look up "Bunny Slope Madness" on fanfiction . net

>>21978358

One of the funniest things I've ever read.

Also if you are into type moon and fate/stay night stuff, Hill Of Swords is one hell of a fanfic. Really well written, it makes sense and has good humor with great action.

The Confederate is also great. A terran marine accidentally ends up in warhammer 40k. Much hilarity and ass kicking ensues.

I'm sure there are more but these two are my favorites and written by competent writters.

>>21978441

>>21978441
There's a guy called Random Equinox who wrote a Mass Effect novelisation in the style of Ciaphas Cain.
To my, admittedly easily please, eye, it's quite good.
Can get a bit TOO 'straight from the source' at times, but unless you're playing through it at the time it's not really noticable.
The combat gets a bit samey at times as well but i barreled through that.

ME1 version is called Accidental Hero of the Galaxy

ME2 (in progress) is called The Hero we Deserve

he's already confirmed that he's redoing ME3 quite significantly

>>21978497
There's another good one called Angels of the Storm, where 6 Sons of Thunder Space Marines get thrown into the Mass Effect universe and take over the Normandy when Shepard dies on Horizon.
The main character is a little Mary Sue, but that's only because he's a damm Space Marine. The characters and their interaction is very well written, and the author comes up with better Reaper troops than Bioware. Stupid husks.

>>21978086
My opinion is as follows.

If the setting is a wide open universe where your characters and events will not affect those previously established, then go for it.

If it's a crossover or affects characters already existing, then hissssss.

>>21978497
>>21978573
found another promising one called
"the mission stays the same"
about an Eldar Farseer and Storm Trooper captain getting sent back by a pissed off daemon they just thwarted.

the fact that over 20k words are spent setting it up is quite promising to me, they obviously aren't rushing it for ZOMGSKIPTOTEHAWESOME!!! and neglecting the story.

>>21978601

I read that one. It was great.

>>21978627
Excellent, glad I won't be suffering the wrenching feel of when an Author pisses a promising story up a wall.

30 H's is probably the funniest fan fiction I've read, almost made a guy collapse from laughter from it. It is rather juvenile in its humour.

One last reccommendation - Nothing But a list of names to mark his ascension.

A fic that starts just before the Dawn of War 2 series.
Currently at the part where the FC duels Araghast.

It's certainly not afraid to change events to fit the narrative and ensure it doesn't get boring for people who've played the games

never do that. go to authors you already like and look at their favorites or try out some recommendation forums. Spacebattles is one, but about 70-80% of the populous are sperglords. The remainder do make good suggestions. Other saps are perfectly willing to dredge through the shit for you.

>>21978086
Dungeon keeper Ami is a great fanfic crossover, by pusa on anime addventure. It's very /tg/

Theres also sleeping with the girls by admiral tiger claw on ff.net. which is hard to describe without reading it. so just try the first chapter or 3.

>>21979192
I started on the internet when I was young and had no idea of quality.

I got interested in Sonic, and so went to read Sonic Fanfiction...

oh god the mpreg, so much shitty mpreg

i still remember the story where shadow had assbabies with sonic, slit this wrists in the tub, and then knuckles had sonic's assbabies on the rebound

why

why

Also, good fanfiction is usually made from works that are notably flawed in one way or another, and it leaves room for the fan writer to cut out the bad and use the good. "Believe it or not I've read a few good naruto fics among the giant piles of shit that is the fandom and the actual series.

>>not listing Dark lords of nerima.
what the hell am i doing?

I recently stumbled across Cat and the Doctor.
It's a short Dr. Who - aSoIaF - crossover about the Doctor (11) stumbling over Arya and making her his companion.
I was prepared for the very worst, but it was a pleasant surprise in that it made a surprising amount of sense and nobody got fucked in the ass.

>>21978086

I really liked 'Phantoms', which is a Nitro+/FSN crossover. (Technically, since Zero was done by the same author, it's kind of in the same continuity.)

It's a Sixth War fic that's set thirty years after Unlimited Blade Works, and everything has gone wrong. The story's told from the perspective of Ichiro Tanaka, Shirou's protege, as he does his best to win the Sixth War...With his servant Assassin, no less.

I'd say that 'Phantoms' really, really gets the mood right. It feels like Fate/Zero, or Kara No Kyoukai: Everything's moody and decaying, and it veers close to horror on multiple occasions.

The main character is especially fascinating, given how loathsome his backstory is. He's a vicious bastard of a man, and it shows: The human-level fights tend to conclude very abruptly and very violently. (My favorite was a fight with a maid homunculus, which concludes with the main character cutting her face off.)

On a different, lighter note entirely, I also highly recommend 'Postnuptial Disagreements' - Which is a Sekirei crossover (Starring the son of El Melloi, and Benitsubasa) that is WAY better than 'Hill of Swords'.

Here you go:

Complete:
For Laughs by Slinky-and-the-BloodyWands Batman Begins/Dark Knight
Bolo XL by Phantazm Doctor Who/bolo
A Hole in the Sky by Tobu Ishi Gurren Lagann
Probationary Member by Adrian Tullberg DC Superheroes
Living in the Red Light by E Kelly Batman
An Officer and Some Gentlemen by Y St. Ace One Piece
Those Who Love Monsters gabriel blessing (no idea what the series were but it's his best fic by far)

Incomplete:
Harry Potter and the Natural 20 by Sir Poley Harry Potter/DnD
The Game of Champions by L. Lamora Pokémon re-write
Dreaming of Sunshine by Silver Queen Naruto self insert (probably shouldn't recommend that but I think it's the only good SI fic I've ever come across.)
Cast in Gold by shyft Evangelion/Exalted
Continuation of the Dream by Caphriel Fate/stay night

As much as i hate recommending pony stuff, Fall Out:Equestria is actually pretty good

Harry potter and the natural 20.

Has been rather light-hearted read so far.

Son-of-a-Mercenary

Everybody, give this one a shot. It is a naruto deadpool crossover where Deadpool adopts Naruto at age of seven. It is awesome though there is some Uchiha bashing and OP Deadpool.

>>21979396

As much as I hate original characters, I have to throw in a vote for phantoms. That story feels authentic, in that the protagonist doesn't have out-of-genre powers or feels like a sue.

He barely scrapes through, or flat-out loses most of the fights, he doesn't have the mysterious Protagonist Power that attracts a revolving harem of girls, and he's actually pretty fucking despicable.

All-in-all, you could do a lot worse. The story's main flaw is that it builds Shirou up as this godlike superhuman who could do no wrong, which makes the PC's admiration of him very, very creepy, and possibly homoerotic.

>>21978649
I almost suffocated during a dramatic reading of it, I was laughing so hard.

>>21979434
I have to mostly agree. It was the first pony related fanfic I read and good enough to make me try some other fics. Which in turn was a very bad idea.

Dungeon Keeper Ami is far better though.

>>21979434
Agreed. It really does deserve the acclaim it's gotten. At a couple of points, you can practically hear the dice being rolled by God.

Shinji+40k is decent, but it gradually gets dragged down into WTF territory. Still worth a read though.
The Second Try is a good Evangelion fic, as it develops the characters in realistic ways, and has a happy ending. A good read if you're feeling down and need to be cheered up.
Look on TvTropes, they have fanfic recommendations pages for alot of franchises, and those are almost universally great. There's one where the Scooby Doo gang fight Lovecraft entities and gradually go nuts, which is hilarious.

There is nothing to be confused about. Fanfiction/Crossovers are subject to a more extreme version of Sturgeon's Law, in their case it is closer to 99% of them are crap. Though every now and again you get one so bad it is good, like My Immortal.

>>21979950
Listening to audio version of My Immortal and Sonichu is probably the best time waster I've found.

If you like the Halo universe, someone has made a fantastic fanfiction from the perspective of three elites during the human covenant war.

I'm looking for Fan-fiction from the metro 2033 universe. Anyone knows some good ones outside of Russia? In english will be cool.

>>21978086


Well, the good ones keep me coming back, often hoping in vain that they'll be updated.

But as you've noted, most of them are extremely bad, and I think the field in general suffers from a kind of exaggerated Sturgeon's Law. In my opinion, I'd say this is a result of the following:

a)the vast majority of fanfic writers are extremely bad at writing, from both technical and narrative standpoints, and

b)most fanfic authors set out to 'fix' something they don't like in the original work, seemingly most often the relationships of a favored character, and they're regularly such hacks that they are unable to do so except by demonizing the characters they dislike.

File: 1355167845840.jpg-(67 KB, 450x557, 3abe7929c60176a39f527ffa7(...).jpg)

If you like Evangelion, look at NGE: Nobody Dies. It's like Shinji & 40k, but less action/drama and more whacky.
The idea is that Yui Ikari didn't go through with the experiment that killed her, so neither did Kyoko Zepplin Shoryu.
Things went different, so the angel attacks were delayed for a few years, and Shinji is rather more well adjusted. Asuka isn't. Rei is such in name only. And Gendo is awesome.

Also, don't ask questions, don't look anything up, just read it.

The God of Death from Tyrant of the East (same guy who wrote Confessions of a Wayward Son).

It's a 40k/Warcraft crossover about an astartes lost in Azeroth. If you can ignore the main character's meta knowledge and the group of elves craving his dick it's a pretty good read. I really enjoyed the battle scenes and that he ended leading the scarlet crusade agains the scourge.

>mfw he hasn't updated in years

>>21979640
Seconding this guy's recommendation of The Second Try IF you like Eva and don't object to Shinji/Asuka lovin'Lending my knowledge of Eva fics...
Another pretty good one would be The One I Love Is... which is one of that gloriously small number of Eva romance fics that DOESN'T turn whichever girl isn't the focus into an evil succubus. The kickoff uses Rei acting mildly OOC, but it's nothing severe.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Higher Learning is an OLD eva fic, from back when the internet was young, and it is damn good.
Nobody Dies is a for want of a nail story where the nail is Yui and Kyoko's deaths. Shinji winds up better off, Asuka winds up MORE broken than before, and Rei becomes both hilarious and terrifying (the phrase "ocular virginity" is used in describing her actions at one point). The story itself is pretty light-hearted, lots of goofy fun shit goes down.

I was naive back then, i didn't know.

>>21980295
someone actually started selling his crossovers on amazon, I think that may be why he stopped. Don't know if any legal action occured.

I remember the first fanfic I read like it was yesterday. It was on the Gamespot/FAQs forums for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It was a sequel of sorts, and an interactive story to boot. It was like a quest with more narrative between the voting.

Ah, to be young again...

Anyway, as for fanfics I'd recommend now... eh. There's some funny writefaggery on 1d4chan, though I mostly read short comedy/d'aww stories like Love and Krieg, or Noh, or Emprahsque. I can't think of any "serious" fanfics I've enjoyed.

Read Hill of Swords and Inflight

Both are good fate/stay crossovers by the same dude

This one is quite good.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3477232/1/Diary-of-a-Space-Marine

It starts out as high grade stupid, and it is pretty goofy all the way through, but if you read it twice you start to see the protagonist through new eyes. He laughs because he is hurting inside. He is brave becasue he wants to die. He is irreverent becasue everyone he gave a damn about has been dead for centuries.

Pic very much related.

Possibly the same person who wrote the original few paragraphs that spawned The Saga of Gav and Bob. Most of his stuff is quite good with the exception of An Orky Story which stinks of Mary Sue.

>>21980470
It's an Odd Coincidence, an x-men/lord of the rings crossover where Logan ends up in middle earth. Surprisingly good.

The very best fanfic ever written is Shape of the Nightmare to Come by Lord Lucan

Possibly even better is the sequel Age of Dusk, but I'm still waiting to see if it has a happy ending or not.

>>21980555
Shape of the Nightmare to Come is indeed great.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is the best crossover ever made.

Seriously, check the comics out. If you got a boner for 1800-1900 popular literature, then you will jizz like you have never jizzed at the references it shows.

>>21980190
Then you sir, are awesome.

>>21980671
Thank you sir. You are awesome as well.

Good fanfics are easy to find. Go to http://www.fanfiction.net/, click on an anime you want to see fanficed, read reviews. Done.

Crossovers are also on there.

Next is fap fics, which is fiction written with the intent of people fapping to it.

For that, go to:

http://slashfanfiction.com/

Since it's been over a decade since I first heard about Slashfics, I can't remember if it's all homosexual (as in male on male) stuff. But it's more likely to have crossovers. It also contains some good stories if you're willing to look for it.

If you want fapfics, then /tg/ has a fair few of those lying around. I myself have one but I'm put it on hold until I edit it correctly and make it less bad than it actually is.

Still, myself and Anotherwrite fag are discussing doing weekly writefagging for /tg/ and what people want written. Erotica or not. Who knows, if he isn't tired today we might be doing one today. Not sure though.

If you want /tg/ related fics, go to 1d4chan and look in Writefag sections.

>>21980305
Since you're recommending TOILI, did you know that Rakna's been updating Chosen? The last main story chapter just went up a few days ago. For those not part of the Eva fandom since 2000, Chosen is a fantasy Evangelion fic, taking inspiration from Record of Lodoss War. I've always liked it but it's not exactly high quality material especially in the first chapters.

Oh, Ol'Velsper's Type-Moon fanfictions are pretty good too.

Fanfiction university of middle earth is a good one.

It liberally takes the piss out of poor authors and has a pretty good story and ideas to boot.

Tiberium Wars is pretty great. It's a novelization of Command & Conquer 3 that was written after the guy writing it got incredibly pissed off at the official (shitty) novelization. Among other things, it gives the Commanders actual identities.

>>21980743
Tiberium Wars is probably better than the games themselves.

>>21980725
>did you know that Rakna's been updating Chosen?
Yes. I know. I had "wait WHAT?!" moment when I got the email telling me a new chapter was up.
Chosen isn't as good as TOILI, but it's still a fun read, even if the early chapters can hurt to read at times, due to typos and grammatical errors.

Use whatever you're writing about as a setting and not a story. Implement your characters so they don't conflict with canon, just make them fit the lore. 40k is easy to do this, as are many RPG settings in general. The characters could be on the other side of the world not tangled up in the actual plot at all doing their own thing, on another world way out of the way, but you're just using the lore and the setting as a medium to tell your own story. Don't include any main characters from the fiction, a reference to a minor character appearing may not be so bad. And for the love of god and all that is holy don't make a mary sue and/or a self insert.

>>21980743
Ah yes, Tiberium Wars, the story where, when the Brotherhood attack DC, a man pulls a submachine gun from his glove box and starts shooting back. That man's name? NICK MOTHERFUCKING PARKER!

>>21980787
They don't call him Havoc for nothing.

>>21980799
He's also surprisingly eloquent.

>"We forge futures out of pain and grief, Commander. The computers and the communications officers and the EVAs and the displays only serve to isolate us so we can be inhuman. We're monsters, son. Cold, mechanical, rational monsters, and the only way we win is by being colder, more mechanical, and more rational than the next monster moving his little pieces on the screen. That's how war has been fought since Stalin rolled into the Allies a century ago. You point, you click, and they die. It's how it works."

>>21978086
The Times and Trials of Klightus, maybe. I found it kinda funny, you can find it on 1d4chan.

my only problem with fanfiction is a lack of interest
if I watched supernatural and liked supernatural why would I want to see not-supernatural?

Several of my possible recommendations are already here, so I suggest checking out some of the stuff done by Eyrie Productions, If you have the time. They've been writing for almost 20 years now and keep getting better.

>>21980763
I didn't even see the update notification, I was checking my favorites list and realized that Chosen was at the top of the list and not somewhere in the middle. Huge delighted shock.

Oh, another good fic that updates unexpectedly and brings good feels with it when it does: Zelda The Return and its sequel Reconciliation. Zelda stories written in the aftermath of Ocarina of Time about Link having the "normal childhood" Zelda wanted him to have. It doesn't take, and then awesome happens. Despite breaking some major fanfiction rules like "Don't give the main character OC relatives" and "Don't make those relatives main characters" it manages to be fucking amazing, and every update makes even the worst weeks awesome weeks.

>>21980773
Not writing mary sues is hard sometimes. You want to make things better for your characters but can't do it imaginatively or within the bounds of the original story. So up comes Mary Sue, half angel, half demon, half butterfly, to save the day.

Yes that description is from an actual fanfic. My sister flamed the author so hard the author quit fanfiction. True story.

They're shit.

If I write myself into a corner with one of my characters where I'd have to shoehorn special abilities to make them better or a deus ex machina that doesn't make any sense other than I don't want them to die, I'd rather just have them get killed or leave because it would make sense within the story for it to happen.

Then again I'm never afraid to kill people off. I do write short stories, not fan-fiction, and the only recurring character I do have, at this point, is pretty fucked up. He's missing his left arm below the elbow, had a cracked spine, missing a leg, chipped teeth, eye's gone. The only special ability I've given him is being as tough and stupid as Evel Knieval. He smokes stogies and drinks liquor. He's also a pretty big coward.

If it weren't a science fiction setting he'd be dead a long time ago, and even then he couldn't afford a cybernetic leg, so he's just got a peg leg and an eyepatch until he gets more money.

>>21978086
>description were enough to make me grimace

Shit, when I think of a fanfiction I considered writing when I was 15, I'm glad I didn't.

For shits and giggles here is a description:
It is a Full Metal Alchemist fanfic, takes place after the movie (Conqueror of Shamballa).
Ed and Al are stuck in interwar Germany, and lives in Berlin. One night Ed receives a phonecall from a mysterious unknown person, whom urges him to go to the Reichstag. Ed hurries to the Reichstag and sees it is ablaze, he recognizes a subdued person on a stretcher as Roy Mustang, but alas as he overhears the person stating his name as 'Marinus van der Lubbe'. During the next following years Ed and Al continously receive more and more mysterious phonecalls, some of these don't seem to make sense but actually do. By the end of August 1939 the phonecalls cease to be anything but two words repeated over and over 'Get away!' alas by September war is a reality. The remainder of the fanfiction was to be about Al fighting in the Second World War while Ed desperately tries to follow him to protect him. Somehow Jean Havoc's and Heymans Breda's alternate-world counterparts was to turn up.

I still think the idea is better than most fanfiction, but let's face it, I could easily remove all traces of Full Metal Alchemist and still have a valid sensible story.

master chief runs out of ammunition, run out of shield energy, and facing enemies who's tactics are completely unknown, becomes relatively useless. Cortana, for all her intelligence, has no computer to interface with, and therefore is no more helpful that a standard bookworm. The arbiter would definitely kick some ass though.

I don't think I actually saw Elminster mentioned once throughout the story. It's been a while since I read it all the way through, though, so I could be wrong. If I'm not, there's probably a few reasons for that...

But seriously, if a Drow surface invasion force getting mulched by 26th century artillery, magic and some good old human ingenuity sounds like your idea of fun, look it up.

>>21981332
Good thing the Forward Unto Dawn can act as a supply base. And not only does Arby get a pair of swords to play with, but a scout ship with a contingent of spec-ops grunts and elites as well as a pair of hunters crashes in the evermoores about a third of the way through. The Drow really get the short end of the stick in this fic.

>>21981332
Even if he didn't he could probably find a magical equivalent pretty quick. It's fucking Faerun, that shit is everywhere.

>>21981392

In that case I think he would definitely kick some ass. Eventually they might figure out counter magic to stop the bullets/energy weapons, but starting out I'm sure it would be a shit-storm. Although against a powerful spell caster, I still think they wouldn't stand a chance, unless Cortana could use her INT to figure out how magic works. (assuming she had access to a library or something)

the best fanfiction material are series you thought had wasted potential, or didnt explore something you thought would be interesting for example

Sailor moon: Shit everything. this anime is terrible, thats why there are fanfics out there that make it awesome. it gets better, but the first season is a giant trainwreck

Ranma: Great manga, terrible anime, no resolution and wasted potential, didnt explore any gender themes, only touched upon its major theme of rejection a few times

Zero no tsukaima, Interesting world and settting, lots of interesting magic, artifacts, plots for political intrigue. Ruined by Stupendously bad harem antics that drove character development and believability into the mud over and over, and fucking over, all thanks to Louise's summon being a giant perverted retard.

etc.
Basically thats how it works. as long as an anime had a good foundation in something, interesting characters or premise or setting, but something else is wrong with it. It tends to do good things in some way or another for fanfiction material.

>>21981565
Sounds like Sword Art Online has potential then.

>>21981583
Yeah SAO is pretty generic in quality, it could be so much better.

Some good chap already mentioned it, but Game of Champions by L. Lamora is good. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow rewrite, with some amazing worldbuilding.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7354757/1/The-Game-of-Champions

>>21981565
>Zero no tsukaima,

Is also most croosoverable anime like

what if louise summoned a necron lord?
what if she summoned vergil?
what if she summoned alduin?
what if she summoned an inquisitor?
what if she summoned arthas?

etc..

>My Immortal
The only balm I can offer you is 30 Hs.

>>21980433
Haven't gotten round to reading either (only just getting into the Nasuverse), but I've heard that both flat out stomp all over the Nasuverse magic system, and apparently hype Shirou up quite a bit

>>21980743
Renegade, a C&C/ME crossover by the same author is also well worth a read.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
Much better than the original HP novels.

Also good:
Harry Potter and the Natural 20

>>21981688
What if she summoned Fionn MacCumhaill?
What if she summoned Croaker?
What if she summoned Paul Atreides?
What if she summoned Sandor Clegane?
What if she summoned Rance?

>>21981688
I remember a fanfic where I think Louise summons Rider from Fate/Zero.

>>21981835

>What if she summoned Rance?

It would be hilarious. Why no one wrote his!

>>21981839
>Louise summons Broskander the Great
Now, that's pretty awesome, but personally I'd like to see her summon Gil. Mainly because he wouldn't put up with her shit. Like, at all.

>>21981802
>Methods of Rationality
Isn't that written by the guy who's admitted to having never even read the books?

Never could make it past the first chapter, myself. Something about the writing style always grated me.

>>21981867
Because abusing your love interest is only funny if you have a vagina. Rance might deliver some twisted karmic justice, but rape isn't politically correct.
Were I a more skilled writefag though, I would write it.

>>21981871
if you want a revenge fic there are plenty to cater to your retarded character bashing taste. but most people like to see louise get a familiar that helps her grow as a person instead of shit all over her.

>>21981655
>>21981583
It's interesting how every anime that has Classes and and a system tend to develop only half of it and then break it into tiny chunks to fill the gaps between romance and plot tweests.

I do miss one with some consistency... (and a vidya adaptation).
They seem happy enough to butcher plotlines and character to make something go from manga to anime, odd they never seem to go with the "while the heroes of legend fought the minions of ZOD, in another corner of the world a small unlikely band of heroes arose."

>>21981892

Same here bro, well, we still have our imaginations.

>That moment when Rance goes on conquering Halkegenia and setting up a new harem.

>>21981835
What if she summoned ChrisChan?
What if she summoned Charlie Sheen?
What if she summoned Gordon Gecko?
What if she summoned Patrick Bateman?
What if she summoned Michael Roa Valdjong?
What if she summoned Vance (MOTHERFUCKING!) Stubbs?

>>21980384
Somebody did one for Peter Pan that made Tinker Bell into one of the FEy and Wendy and the Lost Boys into zombie abominations. Hook was like this awesome privateer. Go read it now!

>>21980555
I'm waiting for the second one to finish, because I want to read it all in one go. Abbadon and Doomrider are great in that.

>>21981835
Croaker. Classy choice.

>>21981920

>What if she summoned Vance (MOTHERFUCKING!) Stubbs?

Baneblades, baneblades everywhere!

Seriously though, Emperors light would be brought to Halkegenia.

>>21981871
The fic wasn't about punishing Louise, but helping her and everyone around her become better people. That one noble brat that picked a fight with Saito? Broskander kicked his ass, then taught him how to be a man and claim his honor with his own hands, then invited him to join his army.

>>21981839
>>21981871
>>21981959

What is the name of this fanfic?

>>21981876
Personally, I couldn't stand the tone. It felt like a rant by that one kid who always harped on everyone else's badwrongfun injecting rationalism where it didn't apply or was wanted.

>>21981920
What if she summoned PunPun

>>21981959
>taught him how to be a man and claim his honor with his own hands
[insert SHOW ME YOUR HONOR! joke here]

>>21981488
That's basically what happens. (Major spoilers ahead, fyi)
After they raid/destroy the Hosttower and capture Luskan Helm/Didact basically pulls them aside, sanctifies everything in the Dawn's armouries and hands Cortana several comprehensive tomes. Long story short, Menzobaranzen is nuked and Demogorgon decides now would be the perfect time to launch an all-out invasion of the Prime Material. Chief is given Didact's old Forerunner combat suit, now enchanted seven ways to sunday, and told to try and kill Demogorgon. He succeeds, but Cortana basically burns herself out from casting enough spells to give Chief the edge he needs and even then the battle leaves Chief crippled and Cortana effectively dead.

>>21981786
Renegade (ME/C&C crossover) is wonderfully realised. It also makes me sad that Tiberium was cancelled.

>>21981565
in defense of the familiar of zero, light novels are far better than the anime

There's a Mass Effect/Prototype crossover that's really good. Let me find it...

>>21981876
I only read the first 5 books myself. You don't need to know the official plot in any detail to appreciate the fanfic.

>>21981974
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6995539/1/Alexandriad-The-Song-of-Fire

>>21981835
Someone wrote a fic where she summons Shinji, who has god-level Instrumentality powers, but his submissive nature makes him avoid using them because he's just so used to people telling him what to do. It's interesting.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3150641/1/

Good Chrono Trigger rewrite.

I don't care much for fanfiction unless it's a fapfic, usually.

>>21982018
Isn't that the one where he has EVERYONE in his head talking to him?

>>21981999
When he was writing under the premise that Snape and Lily were actually in a romantic relationship, and that she then dumped over one racial slur? (Which is one complaint I've heard about the fic)

If you're going to be writing in a setting, it makes sense to actually now what the fuck you're dealing with.

>>21982007
>http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6995539/1/Alexandriad-The-Song-of-Fire
thank you

>>21982046
Alternate Universe, character don't have to exactly match the originals. Basic personalities are the same.

>>21982092
That argument carries a bit more weight if it was originally written to be one of the changes that had knock on effect, and not just because the author fucked up.

If you're making deliberate changes to the background, and for justifiable reason, then sure - go ahead. But fucking up pretty basic and important parts of major characters backstories because you didn't do the proper research is lazy and idiotic.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3678670/1/Chains-of-the-Kindred

its even 40k!

>>21982018
That was bluepencil, author of Shinji and Warhammer 40K. It, uh, went off the rails pretty hard and he never finished it. He put up a plot summary on our forum and it wasn't good. He then did a Rebuild version that ran into the same problems faster.

>>21982041
Yes, but the only people who actually could talk to him were people who he knew, or who had a reason to come to the surface.

>"HAY TG WHUAT DO U THNK ABUT FANFIKSHUNS!?!?! =0"

OP, you are the scum that ruins 4chan for the rest of us.

>>21982183
But the initial idea was interesting.

>>21982351
For certain. The problem is that he couldn't find anything to threaten Shinji with and had to resort to future time travelers trying to kill Louise to keep her from becoming a cross between Lina Inverse and SKYNET.

Yeah.

>>21982392
>a cross between Lina Inverse and SKYNET
Oh fuck. Now I want a crossover between Terminator and Slayers.
This is your fucking fault.

The same initial reaction from me, but then I went and read the thread and found people actually talked about it rationally and decided not to stirr up a shit thread. Regardless of fanfiction or not, there is solid advice for any character building in this thread.

Polite sage for not contributing.

150-odd replies, and you post this now? Why? What's the point?

>>21981980
>. It also makes me sad that Tiberium was cancelled.
That game looked pretty cool, as well. A shame that not much more is likely to be done with the franchise now, after the debacle that was Twilight. The Tiberium universe has plenty of potential in it for stories.

I mean, just look at the kind of worldbuilding Peptuck's done for Tiberium Wars and Renegade. It's pretty damn awesome, and it all makes sense.

>>21982405
God dammit Anon you made me think about what I wrote and now I want to see it too.

>>21978481

I also like NGE: Nobody Dies

>>21980305

Co-Dependance & Co-Dependents are a pair of pretty neat Captain Planet fanfics dealing with Linkas recovery from her addiction to Bliss in the episode Mind Pollution.

It's unfishished and kinda shippy but I liked the format of one fic being from Linka's point of view and the other being from Wheeler's.

easily found on fanfiction dot net as they dont have many CP fics.

There's a number of good ones I've read. The best I've read would be Hill of Swords, I Put on my Robe and Wizard Hat, From Fake Dreams, and Nobody Dies (currently reading).

And yes, clearly I haven't read as any as the rest of you guys if those are my best.

Honestly, usually I avoid crossovers, but every once in a while an idea will pique my interest, usually to no end as no one's ever written anything for it.

Fanfiction in general sucks, but the same can be said for just about everything. I've found some fanfics that are really, really good reads, often better than the source material.

Pic related, it's one of only two crossovers I've been interested in at all recently. The other is Monster Hunter/Berserk.

What about /tg/ fanfiction? What do we all think of it?

>>21986137
It's as hit or miss as anything else we make.

What's meta as hell is when people make fanfiction of /tg/ fanfiction. Wheels within wheels.

>>21982007

I can dump a list of the "best of" for several series;
Code Geass

There's a horribly crossover quest right now and it's called TG Quest. Take a look:
>>21985468

>>21978086
Though not always true, fanfiction usually sucks.

The reason it usually sucks is because it shows a lack of creativity and originality on the part of the author - they can only work with characters that they have seen and are fans of. While good writers can write fanfiction and other stuff, a good many fanfiction writers only really write in that genre.

Years ago I wrote a lemon fanfic between Chrona and Maka. It was a bet that I couldn't write an erotic fic involving a girl and someone of deliberately unclear sex.

Unfortunately, I lost it. It was tricky to write, but I pulled it off.

>>21986286

I don't wish that on anyone.

Every single fucking one was just about someone from Harry Potter fucking Nuada. I'm not even joking. Every. Single. Fucking. One.

>>21986286

i like that harry potter looks like how he would be in the comics.

Heee~ey

>>21986648

Yeah, but can you imagine those classes?

"You won't always have your wands, kids. Sometimes, your magic just plain doesn't work on whatever big nasty wants to make you its next snack. This week, we'll be exploring both the "conventional" magical, and "mundane" alternate weaknesses of various hostile magical creatures. This will be a very hands-on section."

>>21986022

Those are my favorites as well. But im a huge type moon fag so...

>>21986403
I mean, there are quite a few good Dresden Files/Harry Potter crossovers, but that's easy. There's a very funny Highlander/Harry Potter which is pretty much like that Hellboy picture. I can also think of a good F/SN + Harry Potter crossover, but honestly, outside of those the HP universe doesn't cross over very well. Stuff like F/SN and ZnT are pretty much made for that kind of thing

>>21986747
Oh god, Nobody Dies goes from somewhat crack fiction to full fucking retard really fast. The author just doesn't understand that jokes have half lives; you can only make them so many times before they lose their humor. Same shit with his other works

>>21986845
Seriously. Seeing the same jokes coming up over and over long after they stopped being funny was painful.

>>21978086
You know Sturgeon's Law? 90% of everything is crap? With fanfiction, it's more like 95%. That said, I've been reading fanfics for... a longer time than I'm honestly comfortable with. Any fandoms you're looking at?

I hate to be a total fag, but are there any good Harry Potter and FSN fanfics. I think that the Type-Moon attitudes could improve chunks of the characters and setting.

40K part of tvtropes is written by a /tg/ fanboy. I think roughly 85% of the recs are all /tg/ stuff.

>>21987272
That's the Deus Ex I'd rec as well. It has some issues (author is in love with shoutouts) but he's fixing them and it's a damn fine read. One of the few good fics to come out of Spacebattles recently

I should learn how to write properly one of these days...

>>21987459
I assure you anon, like 80% of fanfic writers are 12 year old girls. Already you're far ahead of them by your mastery of proper ellipses.

The best /tg/ related fanfiction comes from /tg/, so I doubt you're searching for that.

Aside from that, I really haven't been able to find much good stuff. There's Uninvited Guests, which is a hilarious Bleach fanfic that's better than the source material (not that hard, but still, good for a fanfic). Everything else has already been mentioned in this thread

>>21987470

well that's O.K.
please show us something good, I'd love to start reading something better than what I currently enjoy.

>>21988005

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

Nugar makes some pretty fucking amazing fanfiction. Check out People Lie and Ask Me No Questions. He hasn't updated them in years, but they're great anyways. Really technically sound writing, and good characterization.

>>21988101
He does MLP stuff now. Damned shame.

Why did the Harry Potter fandom spawn such a massive amount of fan-fics?

>>21988201
because harry potter spawned a massive fandom.

>>21988201
Because teenage girls.

>>21988201

teenagers with nothing better to do.

>>21988201
Bored teenagers and the three year summer.

>>21988201

1) Massive fandom comprised mostly of teenagers with lots of free time

2) The Internet became user friendly around that time, allowing communities to form and ease of access.

>>21988113
That is a shame, mostly because he could be writing more of his other, better stories instead. I've been waiting two years for an update now, dammit.
Also, seconding The Dark Lords of Nerima. Chapters eleven and twelve literally have the best action scene I have ever seen, read, or heard in any medium, ever.

>>21978086
see i like official fanfiction (super robot wars is robot anime fanfiction, in video game form), so it can be done officially and right!

>>21981688
Best option: Punisher.

>>21988283
Superior option: Mack Bolan.

Alright, for nostalgia's sake, can anyone recommend a good Harry Potter or Star Wars fanfic?

>>21987312
>Harry as Fake Caster
How would that even work? Assassin was the result of the technique of a real person being mashed together with a famous name, not an entirely unique character/

>>21988395
First rule of the Nasuverse, all of the rules are more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Even this one.

>>21988374

All this stuff is pretty long except for the humor stuff.

>>21988435
As for Harry Potter, there's like a bajillion fics and therefore a thousand good ones. Too many to list.

>>21988428
But it's not a rule, so unless there's some entity which records cultural and fictional Heroes, there should be nothing to summon.

>>21988395
This is how Nasu stories work.

>Create a detailed setting with a billion rules that can't be broken
>Make people that can break a single unique rule
>Put them all together

>>21988444
Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past is pretty good. Also the Naruto fic the guy wrote.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4351252/1/Strikers-It-s-a-Trap

It's pretty old though but a fun read of an all female IG regiment killing off a low-scale tyranid infection that blows out into a full scale splinter fleet invasion. Prepare yourself for someone with capable writing skills going through an anime phase that lacks any super mary sues. Just really bad japanese like, four times in 30,000 words.

>>21986950
looked it up, got a rough tiny bit of the first part of ch 4, but nothing else

Cain and Abel

"Commissar Ariel Abel didn't want much in life, just to do her job and be noticed for her hard labour. Too bad her career is about to be overshadowed by the enormous, and fraudulent, reputation of Hero of the Imperium, Commissar Ciaphas Cain."

A Ciaphas Cain fanfiction that is...startlingly awesome. It begins in a manner I wasn't expecting...for the first few chapters, Cain does not play a major role. Instead, we get to see our main character Abel grow into the person she is when she meets Cain.

It features an interesting view on the Tau and the Death Korps which I really like. In addition to this, I find the writing very well thought out. There are three short stories, one which is christmas themed(features a Khorne Berserker coming down a chimney laughing) and the followup story to the first one has gotten canned because the author has disappeared off the face of the earth.

Anyways, sorry for my rambling, go read Cain and Abel. It's good.

>>21988486
They're okay, I guess. Viridian/S'Tarkan is just longwinded, and I'm not a fan of time-travel fics. More annoying is his OOCness and forced drama in his Naruto story.

>>21987515
I know someone who writes in Notepad. Your face was my face.

Anyway, are we tossing out recs again? I've got some good ones. Everything I've previous rec'd to start, but of particular note is The Black Company in Middle Earth, which satisfies cravings for crossovers, awesome shit drama and being true to source material. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6668903/1/The-Black-Company-in-Middle-Earth

Highly recommended: Most things by The Sage of Toads, who is hilarious and writes great action. If he has any problems it's that he likes mixing the bizarre into his canon retakes because he can. Gran Tomino and ARSENAL are probably the most of interest to /tg/. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1854667/The-Sage-of-Toads

Speaking of Evangelion stories, who here remembers Children of an Elder God by John Biles? All right, you liars can put your hands down. Except you in the back, you were around for HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR OH FU http://www.thekeep.org/~rpm/eva/coaeg.html
The last few chapters are on Spacebattles. Find them yourself, I'm lazy.

Oh, and since /tg/ likes Fate, how about http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread.php/2415-Gotta-Contract-Em-All! Don't drink and read. Well, drink after you read something that makes you laugh, chug if you can't see the words on the screen for needing to wipe away tears or climb off the floor.

Dragon Age:
Victory at Ostagar
Corin

Harry Potter:
Well-Groomed Mind
Harry Amidst the Vaults of Stone

>>21988861
Holy balls it's Sunhawk. Ought to post some links with those recs, even if I'm pretty sure they're all on FF.net...

>>21988847

Sage of Toads has always bothered me; if anything his only flaw is that he's TOO good. I suspect he takes some sort of writer steroid.

>>21988303

>Superior Option
>Not Battler destroying Louise as a human being

>>21978481
damn, dis not half bad.

>>21988955
It gets super serial in the last couple chapters and then in the most recent one changes radically in tone, which is odd. I think it was sixteen months between chapters though.

>>21988880
I didn't realize readers had such low standards.

Where do I start?

Shin Kakumei Evangelion is a great Eva/Utena crossover.

I know some fantastic femslash fics for everything from Gilmore Girls to iCarly. Just ask me some. Pic/OTP related.

>>21989020
We expect fanfic to be be decent, not good. Makes us wonder why the writer isn't an actual author.

>>21979640

If you want Eva fix fics, look at Altered Destinies. Also kind of a Peggy Sue fic for Misato, but surprisingly good, and in a way I think the arc that goes on in it with Maya is just as important.
