Best fanfic you've ever seen

[Karmes]

Definitely this Fanfic

Hmm, I read a lot of good quality fanfiction, but the one that always sticks out in my mind is "The Devil Wears Prada" by Telanu. It's a The Devil Wears Prada fanfiction, and femslash (so definitely not canon XD), but it is seriously funny in the weirdest little ways and the characters all stay in character while still growing; obviously, it takes some growing if you're going to believe Andy and Miranda shack up. XD It presents events out of order, which works extremely well for the story. Mostly though, it's funny, and Miranda is believable as being in love without losing her essence or strength of character. I read it again every few months to enjoy a good chuckle, some sexiness, and even some softer romantic feelings all mixed together into a swirl of awesomeness.

The other fanfiction that raises the bar is one that's on-going right now, and actually based on a fanfiction itself. If you like to step outside of canon (as lesbians are won't to do, since there aren't many lesbian characters floating around XD) and you happen to venture into the realm of Harry Potter, you may have heard of Dreiser's "No Defense For You," a Hermione/Fleur story that was sadly discontinued after two (albeit long) chapters. Dreiser's fanfic has actually inspired a lot of what has come after in the Hermione/Fleur ship, especially as far as what being a Veela means and what comes along with it. The fanfiction I'm talking about not only stems from Dreiser's fanfic, but is actually the story told (and continued on past Dreiser's two chapters) from the other side of the story; D. Geheimnis, with Dreiser's permission and help, is telling the story from Fleur's point of view in "Aucune Defense Pour Toi". It's a bit angsty, a little slow moving (for good reason, it doesn't feel too slow considering what is going on and how the characters are portrayed as reacting in the situation), but still brilliant and it definitely keeps you wanting more. Even if you don't like the ship, it's worth a look if only to see the brilliant use of brackets. I'm serious. I've never seen them used so effectively in fiction, or even in non-fiction writing.

I don't know that the author of this piece even knows how much I loved it, and I don't often find fanfiction that I think is worthy of high praise. The story is a well researched and told alternative character history for X-men's Nightcrawler, Kurt Wagner. Asside from the scene where his birth/adoption completely replaces the existing explanation from the comics, I am very satisfied with the work. It is complete, so there's no waiting for updates either. I think the title could be stronger, but that too I will let pass. It's called "Even Angels Have Scars" and here is the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2245108/1/Even_Angels_have_Scars

I read a surprisingly very good fan fiction (maybe more so of twisted fairytale...) on a website (which is unfortunately now closed.. Harperteenfanlit.com).

It was called "Good Ol' Oz". About, none other than, the land of Oz. I first read it thinking... "This person must have just ripped off Wicked!" Well, after some reading, I began to realize, although the grammar and level of writing might not be as great as Wicked, I liked the plot much, much more, and it was much, much different.

It featured a story about characters like Dorothy, The Witch of the West, East, and Glinda. It gave backstories to the lion, tin-man, and scarecrow, as well as the munchkins and the yellow brick road, and even why green was the color of the Emerald City.

I really liked it, but the writer never finished the story, or at least, not before the site was closed. I've been trying to find it on the net. If anyone knows anything, let me know. Not to give away anything, but the reason it was so good was because it challenged popular thought, and said "Dorothy is villian", and even justified that point by using details from Frank L. Baum's story.

Lol. That's my rant on that.

Aww man, I got so into that description you gave and then was all woe when I reached the end of your post because I wanted to go and read the fic. sad I didn't notice the bit at the start about the site being closed. Grr.

Wicked and Oz related stories are pretty much all I ever read when it comes to fanfic.

The only fanfiction I read is Marauder's fics, but I still think The Shoebox Project is one of the best fanfictions I've ever read, period.
It's well written, always in character, funny AND sad as hell, and has awesome pictures to go along with it. I prefer this fanfic over the actual Harry Potter books, actually. They even use the smallest of canon side characters, the ones mentioned only once as a random name. Awesome.

Harry Potter and The Nightmares of Future Past
@ Fanfiction.net

Amazing rewrite of the Harry Potter series with a twist. Really long && in depth.

[WolfTeeth-x]

I haven't gottent to read it yet, but, my friend has funny quotes from it on her binder. It's called the "Show Box Project" I think, and it's a Harry Potter fanfiction. It sounds so awesome, and I really want to read it.

There are a few that I would rank up there, from various different canons (good fanfiction to me is like potato chips: you cannot have just one). Most of them will be from various versions of Batman, mainly because I find that is one of those rare fandoms where fans actually know the canon and its characters, and have their heads on their shoulders when it comes to writing.

Serious Stories:

A Light in the Tower. This is pretty much a prequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas, and focuses on Sally, her life as a new, learning creation, her relationship with Dr. Finklestein, and eventually her love for Jack. Unfortunately, it has not been updated in forever. (Curse you, Silver Lady. -_- Finish it!) Definitely one of the better Nightmare fanfics you will ever find.

Throwaway Card. I have to re-read this one (I honestly cannot remember the plot), but I do remember it was one of the best Joker fanfics I have ever stumbled upon.

Someone to Scream for Me. Van Helsing. It is told in Verona's point of view, and focuses on Dracula's Brides, and their view on family.

From the Desk of Severus Snape. I understand the formatting is off on this one (wall of text and all). This was written long before Order of the Phoenix came out (and in a way, I think it still sort of can fit into the established canon), so for its time, I consider it a good, simple piece of work.

Noctis Timeo. Vampires in Gotham, basically. This is proof that vampire stories can still be done right, and I liked that while the vampires were a big part of the plot, they did not take all the spotlight. I also liked the character development in both the vampires and the starring canon characters.

Funny Stories:

Just Another Arkham Experiment. Basically, the inmates of Arkham have to spend a day in each other's shoes. One of several amusing tales from a Fanfiction.net writer named Serb. Honestly, just about anything in the Batman: The Animated Series universe by Serb is guaranteed to amuse you.

Another one by the same author that I really enjoyed was The Bargain, which is a Scarecrow/Poison Ivy pairing that, in my opinion, was written in a way that could realistically work. While I do not ship the said pairing (I like the "married to his work" Scarecrow better), I do like how the author put thought and effort into thinking about how such a pairing would work, and carefully crafted the relationship while keeping the characters and their personalities in mind. There were a few moments I would consider a bit out-of-character, but for the most part, it was an enjoyable read because of the effort and thought so clearly put into it.

I am the Master of Fear. I will be honest that this is my own story. It is a Batman: The Animated Series and The Nightmare Before Christmas crossover, which sprung from a thought of having the Master of Fear (the Scarecrow) and the Master of Fright (Jack Skellington) eventually meeting.

Tripping Arkham Asylum. Basically what happens when Arkham inmates are taken on a field trip to an aquarium. Hilarity does honestly ensue.

Shoebox Project. heart

A multi-chapter Harry Potter fanfic covering several years of the Marauders' time at Hogwarts, with RemusxSirius in the later half.
It's original, funny, and extremely entertaining, on top of being stylistically amazing. It's well known within the Harry Potter fandom. Google it, it can be found on livejournal. 8D

All of the fanfiction I tend to run into tends to be terrible but I tend not to look too hard for jewels amongst the crap.

Mostly it's mindless anime nerds thinking that they can write about their favorite cartoon. It ends up to be a terrible work of prose that massacres the already terrible story line that the anime has set up. It truly does make my eyes bleed.

It'd be nice if you didn't generalize the entire anime fandom like that. There's some pretty good stuff out there.

Anyway, some of the best fics I've read were by Lizeth, Vathara, and Capricious Purple Clarity, all on fanfiction.net. Lizeth and Vathara both have a good variety of fandoms with a lot of crossovers. Capricious' jewel would be Harry Potter and the Secret Link and it's ongoing sequel Harry Potter and the Secret Heir. They're both Gundam Wing/Harry Potter crossovers. There is yaoi in it, but it isn't the focus of the plot at all.

Well when I think anime I think of Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Naruto, and Dragon Ball Z. That's the anime fanfiction I come across the most.
I've seen some great anime--such as the work of Miyazaki--but most anime is recycled crap. If you've seen one giant mech show you've seen them all and pirates and ninjas are just pathetic. It fills people's heads with false ideas of what they really are.

Fandom... eh.
Most of the ones I see while I lurk are nerds who think they're smarter than they really are.
I've met my fair share of intelligent ones though but those intelligent ones aren't what I consider die hard fans of the shows.

I have a very low opinion on anime if you haven't noticed.

I kid you not...

I just got a PM from the guy who wrote it. He is (THANKFULLY A GAIAN!) lol. I have no idea what the chances were. He has the story and is continuing to write it. If you still want to read it, let me know and I can maybe give you his username or something.

He said that now that the site is closed, he's doing more of a closed group of people being allowed to read the story (since he hasn't lost his first publication rights now..) and that he'd be more than happy to share it with faithful fans and maybe a few others. I guess it makes sense... I think his ultimate goal is publication... so... It'd be really cool to say : Hey, I reviewed this book!

Just PM me or Respond to this and I'll see if I can ask him for you or something.. I have his AIM so lol.
