Moonbeam, a My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fanfic. Complete.
Set after the two-part pilot, but a few episodes of the actual show make appearances as continuity nods.

I don't remember this one being rec'd before: Second Bloom
Naruto, Sakura-centric. Peggy-Sue. Started three years ago, updated this week. Past 100k words and climbing.
Very carefully written, if that makes any sense. Given that it's that old, it probably has been rec'd before and I forget.

Huh. ... Does anyone know what a "Pillar of Haruhi Suzumiya" is?

Cobb sounds an awful lot like a name I saw on the web archives for the fukufuc mailing list. I think I recall that guy working in Haruhi, but I could be mistaken.

Okay, there is a Henry Cobb posting in a thread labeled 'Pillar of Haruhi Suzumiya' in the July 2011 archives, and maybe earlier. You might have to dig back a ways to get at the message with the story.
- ECSNorway - 07-31-2011
"Pillar of Haruhi Suzumiya" was a one-shot-ish fic I saw on the FFML recently.
ETA: The Henry Cobb posting of 7/28/11 is the original, apparently. He's starting seriously in media res.

This is just begun, and a bit on the short side, but the idea is charming, the execution is practically letter-perfect, the three-way crossover it presents makes perfect sense in context, and it shows real promise: Inter-Library Loan. I've put it on my TTH tracking list, which is not a common thing.

Do you think those stories are required reading for this, or can we figure out what we need as we go along?

Quote:The header says that it is #7 in a series. Do you think those stories are required reading for this, or can we figure out what we need as we go along?Oh yeah, forgot about that. I haven't the faintest clue about the series. The sole existing chapter doesn't seem at all dependent upon you knowing much about it. As future chapters, who knows? But I suspect that just knowing that the overarching story cycle seems to be about the post-BTVS establishment and growth of a successor to the Watchers' Council will be enough to get you through.
ETA: Oh, and it does say at the very top that it's independent of the main plot of the "Haven" series. The "#7 in a series" thing is a boilerplate warning automatically generated by TTH because the author chose to "package" this story with the others.

I'd say you should read the whole series, it's quite good.
- Bob Schroeck - 08-03-2011
Quote:I'd say you should read the whole series, it's quite good.I probably will, when I get around to it; the second chapter of Inter-Library Loan is up and it definitely includes material that will leave you wondering how the Scoobies got from season 7 to here. And I've only read the first few pages so far.

Past Sins
(My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)
Quote:On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.The story has just been heavily revised, with chapters 10-13 being almost completely rewritten, and, by and large, I think it comes off better for the change. Also, don't look too closely at the title art, because spoilers. This story is rated 6/5 stars over on Equestria Daily, a rating I think it deserves.

RE Past Sins: does the author get any better at showing and not simply telling what's happening? That was an issue with their Portal/MLP fic, and two chapters into this it's still an issue.
- Foxboy - 08-07-2011
He's made some extensive "show, don't tell" revisions recently.
