So I have found the pony filled wonder that is equestriadaily.

And after doing an archive binge, I have to share at least one story with the rest of you.

It's not often that fic can take a character I dislike and turn them into someone I empathize with, but this pulled that off and more.

Since ponies are the new Naruto (which is the new Ranma which is the new Star Trek), I thought I'd hop on the bandwagon. After an archive binge on Equestria Daily, This completed fic is far and away the best thing I've read on the site, and may make it into my top 10 fanfics of all time.

The Boy Who Fell - HP/SWEU With Harry dead at five thanks to Vernon's temper, things are looking rather dire in rising 6th year Luna Lovegood's world. So she wishes for someone to come and make everything better. Someone does; come at least. Ben Skywalker's "Stealth-X" fighter is diverted out of hyperspace and into the sky above England, only just managing to slow to a stop before crashing into the pond where Luna goes to think...

Meadows of Heaven by Mystical Magician. Narnia/Harry Potter. When Narnia passes Susan Pevensie by, she discovers the Wizarding World... where she finds she possesses a magic different from that she'd known on the other side of the Wardrobe. Married, then widowed, she becomes a teacher of Transfiguration at Hogwarts, pushing her identity as Queen Susan the Gentle away until she has all but forgotten it -- until the day Voldemort comes to the castle.

Leaping Into Magic by Marcus S. Lazarus. Quantum Leap/Harry Potter. Sam leaps into Harry a day or so before Bill and Fleur's wedding... and must race to learn enough magic to save both his host and Ginny Weasley from premature deaths.

Like an Onion Inside Out. Dr. Who/Narnia. Susan Pevensie meets the Doctor three times in her life, but it's only on the third meeting that she joins his travels. Would be one of my favorite Dr. Who fics just for the the "Care and Feeding of the Doctor" notebook that holds notes and comments from all the Companions, but it is so much more than that.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6437275/ Hogyoku Ex Machina - it begins with Ichigo and Aizen time-warping from the final blow of their final battle to just before Aizen escaped with the Hogyoku he'd stolen out of Rukia's chest at the end of the execution arc, and it ends with a puppy. Trying to summarize further is pointless, because it would sound like a collection of the worst cliches of Bleach fanfic, but the thing is that this story is good enough to compensate for being Bleach fanfic in the first place, which I usually mildly dislike at best, while still being original-flavor. And, of course, it's complete, or it wouldn't be here, though there's the promise of a few follow-up one-shots eventually.

A Stormy Relationship
Sailor Moon sidestory - When a romantic relationship goes awry, it takes something other than Sailor magic to set it right.

Note that this is Shadowjack's take on Sailor Moon, which is to be expected because he's the one who wrote the story. It's also told in 4-koma format, and stretches over 27 pages of RPG.net forum posts. (The strips are in posts 2, 27, 43, 51, 73, 89, 107, 117, 125, 139, 144, 165, 175, 205, 219, 224, 240, and 267.)

Taken from SB thread:
Weight of the World (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/347617/1/We ... _The_World) - Farscape AU. 50k words. Complete. Standalone.

Scorpius managed to open a wormhole leading to Earth using information taken from Crichton's head and the Peacekeepers invaded in force, easily overwhelming human resistance. Five years after the invasion, Crichton and Aeryn Sun lead a small resistance cell in the Rockies, preparing a desperate gamble that might be Earth's last hope for freedom.

Opinion: This is quite possibly the very best fanfic I've read in the last six months or so. It is extremely well written, manages to make itself enjoyable even for a reader with only mild knowledge of the Farscape setting and generally enjoys outstanding characterization, including a couple of prominent and very well-done OCs. 10/10.

Having read the story, I completely agree with this viewpoint.

HP fic - An Old and New World

semidark stealth crack played, well, mostly serious. Contains one of the best Lunas ever, I think. Sort of a mix of indieHarry, azkabanHarry, darkHarry, and temporal abuse fic bits, but with those cloying flavors only used sparingly to season a solidly plotted feast of crazy-awesome. 187k words, and it flies well off the rails of the stations of canon so the story is actually fresh.

Fallout Equestria - Fallout. With ponies! Set in an alternate future, one pony must learn to survive in a blasted, poisoned land... and possibly, with the aid of friends made along the way, bring new light into the darkness of post-apocalyptic Equestria.

It's a long one but one of the best Grimdark Pony story you'll find.

Though technically an abondoned Potterfic, Minnionette's "Fire Demon" is effectively a nice, closed-character-arc-plus-epilogue of an irresponsible OC learning what it means to act like an adult while interacting with the HP cast ca. November 1981. Sounds lame, huh? S'what I would have thought too, but it's surprisingly engaging as Marcia (pronounced mars-ee-ah, btw) scrambles around trying to get stuff done right, just because someone trusted her to for once. 91k words

That thing hit critical mass a while ago.  I hear there are sequels and spin offs still be written, by quite a few different authors, including the original one(s).  According to google, this is the site you want for this.  The original fic was vanity published too.  It's kind of nuts.

Luke ran way to join the Imperial Pilots' Academy at 18, and Vader found him there.

Written back at the turn of the century, so before the SWEU had gotten much past the Young Jedi IIRC, but I expect the Yuuzan Vong will be in for a rather nasty surprise in this reality. Finishes before reaching even the ANH timeframe, though.

Shanejayell's _The Substitue_ has been complete for about a year now, though it lacks the FFn flag for such. It's a nice little Dresden/Negima cross which makes a vaguely plausible if halfhearted stab at reconciling the difference in magic systems, but is mostly about the character interactions. Not really caring about Negima and just starting to brush the edges of Dresden Files, I can't speak to the accuracy of characterization, but it's a sweet short.

One of the first two works written by the team of Writing Warriors is now complete:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8662532/22/Nothing-to-LoseAuthor: Writing Warriors [Image: email.png]PM
This story, as a few
are in the world of Harry Potter fanfiction, stems from one of those
many ideas of Rorschachs Blot, entitled "Nothing to Lose." One of the
areas this story will explore is the possible impact on Harry Potter and
friends of the isolation that our dear old friend, Albus Dumbledore,
always fed to him: this isolation will make up its own reality.

And the sequel to Brutal Harry by Lords Fire is now done:

As Magical England
grinds itself through civil war and Magical Europe at large collapses in
upon itself, Harry hunts through it all. Dumbledore has disappeared,
Lucius Malfoy has publically fallen out with Fudge, and most the
population of Hogwarts has fled to America, bringing many families of
Muggleborns with them. Sequel to Brutal Harry. Rated for
violence/messiness.

Silent is a Worm fic, where Taylor happened to receive a rather different power. While it's not the traditional sort of happy ending fix-fic that is often produced, it is quite engaging and moves right along (in terms of story and the ace it was posted at, two or three updates per forum page for 30-some pages in under a week) to reach that ending in a brisk but not too rushed way, though events break like a tidal wave once they reach critical mass. I would also rate its ending more satisfying than canon Worm, though not everyone who commented in the thread would agree.

45,500 words in 4 days.
To use the Spacebattles official measurement, that's approximately 11 Hivers of output.
That is an accomplishment.

Hahaha!
I will also note (and this is the last edit unless she does, I swear) that Yklia has mentioned the possibility of an expanded rewrite to fill things out more from around 6.1 on.
