Anyone Know Any Good WH40k Fanfiction?

I figured as it is related to Fanfiction as a sort of link-request it belongs here. If it doesn't, my apologies in advance.

Excepting Imperial Overlord's masterful fanfics of which I am mostly done with and that monstrous leftover from the Inquisitor game played on the board, is there no other fantiction related to 40k or even 40k/Other Universe Crossover fiction? I haven't found much besides some sub-par fanfictionized battle reports on Fanfiction.net and the aformentioned IO-authored ones and a sparse few others on this board.

Anyone know of some good ones? I always liked Imperium-centered ones, but I'll take anything...

*Coughs* We're continuing said monstrous leftover on another board, and IO isn't the only one scribbling the stuff down.

I try not to toot my own horn too much but: WH40K: The Truth of a Radical

There's more? Assuming I'm thinking of the same multi-100 page long thread, I got to about page 125 of the thread (I'm rather stubborn when I put my mind to it) and gave up somewhere in the nature of a few tens of pages after the Sainthood of that Psyker-Null Sister and when Inquisitor Nathan mentions the picture of the Emperor he happened to just have inside his knapsack (I laughed out loud for a while at that scene, to the odd looks from the other room).

To answer your second... sentance-clause?... Yes, that's why I edited in "few others" to clarify that IO wasn't the only author here.

You must not have looked very hard, or maybe you didn't notice that FF.net's default view settings don't list M-rated fics. And this is Warhammer 40K, M or R ratings are practically required.

Ascension

Imperator

Bitter Iron

The Hand of Redemption

Karia's Search

Snowstorm

A Different Kind of War

Betrayal

The Joy of Sect

In the Eyes of Men

The End of All Things

C'tan, Lilnin, The Giver and the Taker

To Ourselves We Must be True

I Did It

Kaela Mensha Khaine: The Awakening

Lone Warrior

The Second Legion

Elsewhere, and Elsewhen

Korsal

A buttload of goodies among the drek. Some are violent as hell, a few are fucking funny (especially I Did It), a couple are downright contradictory to the official fluff, but these're all good, and some are great.

In addition, there's this: Imperial Literature

Finally, many websites featureing custom armies will have fluff to go with them.

<Snip List>

I'm pretty sure I remembered to engage the M ratings, but I think I just didn't bother to sort out the good ones from the sugar-high play formatted anime crossovers due to the tediousness.

Contradictory to fluff? I wouldn't know 40k canon if it shot me in the face and eviscerated my stomach.

Ah, now there's somewhere I remember but couldn't find. Good days of reading ahead.

Many thanks.

One of the nice things about the 40K universe. It's so... flexible. If even GW will bend it like a pretzel, so can we.

Tell me what you think of I Did It. It made me laugh so hard, I literally choked on my Pepsi. I haven't laughed that hard in months.

Yyyyeah, it is a bit long and occasionally mediocre/silly. Skipping to the end and then starting the sequel (Which is only on page ten, woohoo) is probably the way to go.

I call it a 'slause'. They're all the rage in my head.

Mediocre/silly? That was the best part in those 125-ish pages! The man pulls out a friggin' commemorative photo of the Emperor (Maybe the God-Emperor had, like, Ecclesiarchy baseball cards back then

) at the drop of a hat and every single other person falls to his knees in abject awe while he nonchalantly unpacks. And he's totally oblivious.

I was referring to the pagecount. Yes, that bit's awesome. I almost had my Inquisitor have a heart attack.
