Completed Fanfiction Recommendations - kestrel404 - 04-11-2011 I like well written fanfiction and I like my stories to have an ending. These two things in conjunction are none too common, but I'm always looking for the completed works that are up to snuff. Give me what you've got. One-shots don't count, but anything with more than one chapter and a 'complete' tag will do. Older stuff is very much welcome, and anything that's in one of the recommendation or update threads that has finished should get posted here as well, just for completeness' sake (and because I hate having to dig through the archives looking for the word 'completed', I've done it twice already and I still find new stuff when I go back). To start things off, here are three of my all-time favorites: Free Radical - This is generally considered to be THE definitive System Shock fanfiction. Children of an Elder God - My favorite NGE Fanfiction of all time. The website hosting it hasn't updated in a while, but the last chapter can be found here. Neon Exodus Evangelion - My second favorite NGE Fanfiction, by a very narrow margin. And here's a couple that aren't technically fanfic, but that I'm going to add here anyway: The Metamorphosis of Prime Intelect & Passages in the Void - The two completed works by Localroger of K5, perhaps the only fiction I ever saw posted there worth sharing, but they're both really awesome. "Not this again!" Minerva said. "Albus, it was You-Know-Who, not you, who marked Harry as his equal.

That being said, at least give Dauntless and Serenity a shot, they are good. As for further recs: Sailor Moon Z http://www.thekeep.org/~wombat/Stories/Z/index.html (Sailor Moon/...I can't even keep count...)

Black Moon Rising http://www.thekeep.org/~wombat/Stories/BMR/index.htm (Sailor Moon) There's also this one Nanoha fic with elements lifted from the Guilty Gear videogame series, but I can't remember the title.

Polarity: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5124106/1/ (Marvel - Spider-Man) Summary: When a Romero-style zombie outbreak hits, three supervillains, led by a long time loser, find themselves doing whatever it takes to save themselves, and eventually, the rest of humanity. (It can be a little disjointed in places, an rather humorous in others, but is still a rather fascinating tale of a B-List 'villain' take on the world and what he does to ultimately save it.) For Laughs: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6513822/1/ (Batman Begins/Dark Knight and Criminal Minds Crossover) Summary: If the BAU wants to catch the Joker, they'll need to profile the Batman. But will all of the team survive to close the case? Not slash. Gen fic. A Study in Rum: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6096601/1/ (Sherlock Holmes/PotC) Summary: One wicked and clever pirate. One singular and brilliant detective. One hundred and fifty years apart. An impossible meeting? Perhaps just improbable... Wilde Things - SkyeFire - 06-09-2011 I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that no one mentioned James Austin Wilde's "The Saotome Gambit" (Ranma/BattleTech), or "Ranma Goes to War" and its sequel "Chasing the Wind." Great stuff. However, since the website hosting those fics appears to have dropped off the face of the earth, it looks like the wayback machine is the only option (unless someone has all of the FFML archives from the time period in question): Even the Wayback Machine's archive of that site appears to be spotty, but this page appears to have all the pieces. - The Wanderer - 06-10-2011 Well, I have chapters 28-32 and both epilogues of "The Saotome Gambit", but nothing before that (at least not outside of my mail archive, which is complete back through the June 2001 revival), and nothing I can find of "Chasing the Wind" at all - although the name does ring a bell. What time periods of the FFML are we talking about? I wouldn't be surprised if I actually do have it, and just never bothered to save it out to separate files. - Bob Schroeck - 06-10-2011 Hm. It occurs to me that this thread should be pinned as a resource. So I'll do that. ETA: I have all of "Chasing the Wind" in my archives, as well as the second sequel, "Once More Into The Breach" (which is billed as "Ranma Goes To War II", while "Chasing" is simply described as "set in the aftermath" of RGTW). -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - robkelk - 06-11-2011 SkyeFire Wrote:I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that no one mentioned James Austin Wilde's "The Saotome Gambit" (Ranma/BattleTech), or "Ranma Goes to War" and its sequel "Chasing the Wind."
