Which fanfics have you read here, and why?

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2006-04-17 01:22pm

In the interest of... giving me things to do, I shall ask thee; what fanfics (or fics, as the case may be) hosted on this site have you read, or are reading, and why? Do specific authors attract your notice? Word of mouth? Certain subjects you find interesting? Simple WTF appeal? Or is it the snazzy banners some of us carry?

For my part, generally, I follow the recommendations of other readers, although simply seeing certain authors can also pull me in.

My list:

-Battle of the Hymn by Knife
-Battle of the Hymn 2: The Chronicle of the Citadel by Lonestar
-Dark Councilors by Pick
-Starcrossed by Stravo
-Zaia's Babysitting Adventure by Kuja
-Halo: In the Face of Betrayal by Kuja
-Conquest by Mike Wong
And a handful of shorts and abandoned fics I can't recall the names of.

I just finished the Stormtroopers Tale, and I read UPF obsessivly.

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2006-04-17 02:00pm

I read UPF, Zaia's babysitting adventure, I also formerly kept track of Ford prefect's work in the logical world thingy and I've read Elheru's work.

Why nothing more? Time investment and readability. If its in completed fan fics I usually try to read it(I've read nearly everything there bar starcrossed), otherwise its too hard with all the spam. A text file with the entire story would also help.

I found the forums because I was looking for fics to read at http://www.daltonator.net/fanfics/index.html and started surfing the links there.
I pretty sure I've read all the fics here and some of them are even worth waiting for new chapter(s). I'm not going mention any names.

I just read Stormtroopers tale and thought it was excellent, really good, i think everyone should read it and send money to the writer

also
Imperial Foundations - i like the use of lore
Through Assasins Eyes - i like the profesionalism of the assasin

Singular Quartet · Post by **Singular Quartet** » 2006-04-17 04:59pm

Let's see...

Zaia's Babysitting Adventure
Logical World stuff
The Rift (?)
UPF
I used to read Chuck's, but then he stopped for a while, and I never picked it back up... which was stupid.
Same with Starcrossed... and the rest of Stravo's work... the bastard.

Post by **LadyTevar** » 2006-04-17 05:15pm

I read so many of them, I should just list by author:

Kuja
Imperial Overlord
Singular Quartet
Darth Raptor
Pick
Mr Coffee (Where's the New One!)
Jaepheth
Rogue 11 (FIREWARRIOR!!!)
Lindar (I love the bard

)
Knife

And special mention to ChrisOferrell and NecronLord for their nBGS crossovers.

Damn! She's forgotten what it is I was writing... I'll have to give a snippet from the latest writing in order to remind her!

Undiscovered Galaxy: (Preview, Subject to Change) wrote:“I’ll never be clean again!” Zelenka lamented, as they finally entered the power room.

“Oh stop complaining,” McKay muttered, “at least they didn’t pay you any attention. I’m amazed they didn’t bite me…”

The familiar triangular plinth was there, of course, and McKay couldn’t resist, practically jumping over to it. Zelenka followed him with an evident mixture of puppy-ish devotion and concern at the prospects of McKay over-reaching again. Ford wandered over to an upright capsule on the wall, covered in dust and some kind of frosting on the inside of the glass bubble. It was cool to the touch, and Ford’s hand almost stuck to it as he wiped clean a section at around eye level.

“I think you guys had better see this,” he said.

Yers, I have finally actually got my finger out once more. And I plan to make an end. Soon.

Pick · Post by **Pick** » 2006-04-17 06:26pm

I'm in the process of reading through 55 Days in Kalunda, I read some of Ford Prefect's Logical World shorts (I think I only commented on one but I should read more!), getting through Zaia's Babysitting Adventure by Kuja, getting through The Unnamed Porno Fanfic which is wrongxorbitantly hilariotastic, and reading the Rift by Noble Ire. My only trouble is that time constraints and mood swings leave me reading a bit of stuff from different people at a time (or maybe it's the phases of the moon!) That and trying to keep updating my own story and stuff. We've got lots of good writers here

.

CERC · Post by **CERC** » 2006-04-17 07:26pm

Unity
Starcrossed
Stormtroopers tale (or whatever it's called.... )
The Rift
and a buch that were started, only to become points of wonder as they were never finished......

CERC

PS: oh and why? mainly because I have too much time on my hands when we have mandatory crew rest before we fly and what not..... and they answer a lot of what ifs

CERC · Post by **CERC** » 2006-04-17 07:29pm

oh yeah, and jedi prophecy

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-04-17 09:03pm

I generally try to read all of Imperial Overlord's works, but with the last couple I got left behind. I also read Pick's Dark Councillors (because it rocks), and 55 Days in Kallunda. I also read stuff by Kuja, and Singular Quartet (when I remember, that is). There's stuff I've been meaning to read, and haven't got around to yet (NecronLord and Lady Tevar both have stories up, and I wish to read them).

DesertFly · Post by **DesertFly** » 2006-04-17 09:31pm

The only one that I read with any frequency is The Rift. And, of course, my own. Duh.

Post by **Kuja** » 2006-04-17 10:03pm

Seems like a lot of the stuff I used to follow hasn't been updated in a long time:

Star Trek Timelines by Steve

The Flame-Haired One also by Steve

Ad Astrum Meus Oyster by Ford Prefect

Other than that, mostly one-shots because I don't have time for the longer stuff, except for Pick's Dark Councilors.

Knife · Post by **Knife** » 2006-04-17 10:40pm

Hmm, I must admit I haven't been reading much lately. I, of course, read BotH 2 for obvious reasons and I enjoyed Lady Tevars 'Certain Point of View'. Other than that, I haven't kept up with anything lately.

Knife · Post by **Knife** » 2006-04-17 11:30pm

BTW, since I'm a bit of an attention whore;

Yippie, I got two mentions. BotH and Jedi Proph.

Trogdor · Post by **Trogdor** » 2006-04-18 12:18am

All of Stravo's stuff
Manifest Destiny
Most of Steve's stuff
Rebellion in Paradise
Mike Wong's Conquest
JME2's stuff
Much of Chuck's stuff
That other fic that Lord Wong started. Crud, it's been so long that I can't remember the title. If only he'd update that one...

Perseid · Post by **Perseid** » 2006-04-18 12:49pm

Lets see what I can remember:

Starcrossed
Best of Both Worlds
Jedi Prophecy
The Rift
UPF FUCK YEAH
The Undiscovered Galaxy
Derelict
Revelations from a certain point of view
Chucks Redux work (since I never read the originals)
RoTS Alt ending I think an update is required for this
Conquest

Poissbly more that I can't remember. What can I say, I'm a fanfic whore

Murazor · Post by **Murazor** » 2006-04-18 01:02pm

Short list of particularly good reads...

About everything written by Stravo.
Necronlord's latest fics (particularly In Service of Chaos).
Jaephet's Children of the Ancients.
Chris' Derelict.
Noble Ire's The Rift.
Some installments of the Drakafic series...

Kwizard · Post by **Kwizard** » 2006-04-18 01:41pm

I mostly read Logical World stuff, along with the occasional original short story.[/url]

... MORE MORE!!!!!

And I also forgot to mention Nitram's own "Enclave shorts"

Knife:

Thank you for the compliment. The good news is I'm working with the original people and going to post how the next generation finally defeats the demon

Thank you. The, or rather, a, as it's more something set in the same universe, sequel is next on the list.

phongn · Post by **phongn** » 2006-04-18 04:51pm

Most of the stuff by ...

Marina
NecronLord
Knife
Chris O'Farrell
Chuck
Kuja

You flatter me

. Now that my senior paper is done, and my senior art project is almost done, I can really get back to progressing that sucker (the 1-year time skip is imminent!) Once summer hits...

.

Good times ahead

. Or Evil times ahead. Whatever. Fun times ahead!

Hey there now, somebody remembers me. *shameless plug* Everyone else run, don't walk, to read Manifest Destiny and its slowly progressing sequel now.*shameless plug*

Anyway, I read Starcrossed, Kuja's funny stuff, Best of Both Worlds, BOTH, Rebellion in Paradise, BOTH 2, Conquest, Vicious Little Thing, Revelations for a certain point of view, and A Bard's Tale. I think that's it.
