Recommend Some Good Non-Anime Fanfic Please
Recommend Some Good Non-Anime Fanfic Please
#1
I like reading fanfic but I recently realised I almost never read fanfic for anything but anime shows. So, since I have plenty of time at work to read and am scrapping the bottom of the barrel of anime fanfics... I decided to branch out. Of course there is SO MUCH of it that I have no idea where to start.
If you have any good fanfics that fit the following criteria, I'd be happy to hear about them!
What I'm Looking For:
No Porn: This is my one hard and fast rule. No graphic depiction or descriptions of sex acts. Innuendo and sexuality is fine, but lascivious descriptions of sex organs turns me right off.
No "Shipping": That is a story whose sole purpose is to set up character X and character Y in a romantic relationship. Especially if this runs contrary to canon (ie, turning a character gay who was not or breaking up an existing couple just so that they can get together with other characters). I'm okay with romance, but strictly as a subplot.
No Godmoding: That is, no stories wherin a character gets a significant boost in power level, competence or a significantly weird change in personality. Ie, if the story features Xander, Xander should not have superpowers, be turned into a cyborg, learn magic or suddenly decide to act like Batman (in anything but a goofy manner).
Complete/Progressing Only: I dislike reading stories that will never be finished intensely (it makes me sad when they're good). Thus. only stories that are finished or are getting regualrly updated (ie, have recieved two or more updates in the last year) please.
I'm interested primarily in Buffy and or Angel fanfiction. Also Harry Potter, Star Wars, Supernatural (TV series), Americomics (DC/Marvel etc), most fantasy novels (David Eddings, Dragonlance and so on).
I'm not interested in Stargate SG-1 fanfiction, thank you.
I like Crossover fanfiction and have no objections to Self-inserts (for obvious reasons).
Much appreciated in advance.

Okay all of these I've gotten from the other Fic Recommendation threads.

Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Future Past by S'TarKan Uber-Harry time travel fic. Progressing Slowly.
Jedi Harris by The Dark Scribbler Buffy: the Vampire Slayer / Star Wars crossover. Yet another Hallowe'en fic but well done. The power build up is gradual. Completed. Sequel is progressing.
The Shocker: Legit by Vank Vank Marvel Universe. Progressing.
Realizations by Wishweaver Harry Potter Progressing though slowly.

Hmm... What can I scrounge up from Harry Potter...?
World's End, a take on if Voldemort won. One-shot.
Anything by Ruskbyte, but in particular Backwards Compatible, Evil Be Thou My Good, From The Abyss, and Something Grim This Way Comes.
ternus Praestolatio, fairly lengthy, dimensionally-stranded Harry finds himself in a dimension where Trelawney's prophecy never occured.
Stranger in an Unholy Land, Harry finds himself in a world where Voldemort never went after his parents and where his counterpart was V's right-hand man.
That's all I got for now.*********

Cat-Tales by Chris Dee. THE definitive characterization of Selina Kyle in any medium, including canon. Serious, Dee seems to specialize in taking the crappy parts of DC continuity and reinventing them to not only make sense, but be GOOD! The fact she updates on a frequent and regular basis is simply a bonus. ---------------

The Better Buffy Fic Archive has links to all the stories recommended by that mailing list, (including my own fic.) Not all meet your criteria, plotwise, but the majority are at least decent. Of all those stories, I'd most recommend Not even Jimmy Olsen, which gives an outsider's view of the scooby gang.

Community is a long look at the aftermath of Graduation - not much action, but superb mood setting and character exploration.
Aadler has written has a series of stories about Sunnydale, focusing on minor characters, such as the real reason Buffy's dad never phones.
Julie Fortune's written a few good stories.
