I was being stupid earlier, and want to make it up to you all. Post good fic.

Its a Beatles Goodfic with no Mary Sues and no shipping. It uses the Real Life personas of the Beatles, rather than the ones set up in the movies. -

This is one of my personal favorite fanfics. It is a Portal FIM piece, and I loved it.
There is only one problem... The grammar is atrocious. The author over uses elipses... and at one point, I saw an un-capitalized word after a period.
For the hypocrosy in my post, see TV tropes.

A new girl with a secret moves in across the street. Will Phineas fall her? OC/Phineas
This is a fantastic parody of Mary Sues and their Romance/Dramas and overused plotlines. -

I read a Lord of the Rings fanfic many years ago, and now I can't find it. Any ideas?
...
Oh, all right, I'll give details. (SPOILERS, of course) It was a post-War of the Ring story featuring Aragorn's struggles to reunite, y'know, everything. It also featured Alatar and Pallando, the Blue Wizards - only one of them (I'm pretty sure Alatar) had turned evil and was now Alatar the Black. It also had Elanor Gamgee/Gardner as Arwen's lady-in-waiting. The final battle was at Gundabad, and I just about recall there being something under the mountain - maybe a dragon, maybe not.
Unfortunately, Google has failed me, and I can't find it by searching various websites - not that I remember where I read it. Can anyone help me?

Thank you. Apparently the bits of the plot I remembered are the less central bits, so whether it's as good as I remembered, I don't know... I Must Investigate!
Thank you, again.

Horse Apple Turnover by Impossible Numbers
Think Flim and Flam got away a little too easily from Sweet Apple Acres? That was just the start of their humiliation conga, as this short story tells. A bit of lighthearted fun at the brothers' expense.
The July 1954 issue of Beyond Fantasy Fiction magazine, a short-lived spinoff of Galaxy Science Fiction, had a Midsummer Night's Dream fanfic called Yours for the Asking, that sadly cannot be found in any other publication/anthology/what have you.
Oberon and Puck have been investigating the advertising industry's use of the word magic, and find, to both their relief and their annoyance, that it's all puffery. Puck casts a spell on an advertising exec so that everything labelled magic does literally what the advertisement says. Hilarity ensues. -

Ready, Sette, Go! - this is a humour!fic about Sette (One of JS's Numbers), post-StrikerS (Spoiler warning for StrikerS).
While there are some SPaG mistakes in it, it is pretty funny, even if you don't know MGLN or StrikerS, and the characters are very much IC.

I've read this fic before. For all of you wary of it due to it being RPF, and Beatles alien-abduction RPF at that, trust me on this one- it's actually one of the better pieces of epic fantasy I've read in the past 12 months.

I hardly ever read Real Person fics, and when I do they don't involve the Beatles getting abducted by aliens and gaining special powers. Nothing bothered me about it besides that, so I guess I approve but I'm still a bit confused right now, so don't trust my judgement.
To take you up on your challenge I give you two authors, one mainly Hetalia writer and one Harry Potter writer both from ff.net.
Gemini Star 01, found here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/264413/Gemini_Star01 writes a variety of fandoms, but I've only read her Hetalia ones because of lack of interest in the other fandoms. She (I'm not sure of her gender but I'm guessing it's a she) writes a lot of historical and AU stories, most of them focusing on America and Canada. A warning though, many of them are very dark and may touch on some triggers if you can't deal with scary things (an example would be her fic Awakening, which is set in a Nazi internment camp with the main characters being experimented upon by Josef Mengele). Another thing is that she hasn't updated in years so anything that's unfinished is going to stay unfinished.
The second author is Inverarity, found here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1374917/Inverarity
She writes entirely Harry Potter fics but aside from one next generation fic all of stories do not actually focus on the Harry Potter characters. Instead she has created a sort of female American counterpart to the Harry Potter series, using the same universe. All of her OCs are well developed and I found the plot line original and entertaining. -

...and, for the first time ever, I have something to contribute. :P
This writer has created a number of Discworld stories, both funny and serious, focusing on the Ramkin-Vimes family. She fleshes out some interesting details that have been left vague in the books, and one or two of her stories are somewhat smutty but still very well-written - all very in-character, in my opinion, and with a good dose of PTerry-like humour that actually works.
She's also done a couple of Potterverse fics regarding Viktor Krum and his relationship with Hermione, which I found rather interesting. One AU future that's rather serious, and a somewhat comical look at his point of view regarding the events of the Triwizard Tournament. (Ladies' underwear is involved in the latter.) -

And old - but these days, how many people still know about them?
The Game of the Gods - My all-time favourite. Morgoth attempts to outsmart Varda in a game of Mary-Sues. Hilariously.
The One Ring Reforged - A very silly story. Also short, so no plot summary.
While The Ring Went South - It's been a while since I read this, but I may do so again. It's an expansion of the referenced chapter of LotR. It has a sequel, During A Journey In The Dark, too.
And because it has to go here...
Don't Panic - Girl drops into real Middle-earth. Also has a sequel (Okay, NOW Panic). Written by an ex-PPCer.

(PS: Interesting choice of yours - not many people read Real Person Fic. Not that we say you can't, just that you might not get many takers) -

I'm sorry, July. I'm quite on-edge about the Board right now - Kaitlyn keeps telling me to stop posting, but it's the only social life I have (no, really) so I keep coming back and getting ratty (because I'm not good at social). If I can work out how to do it - and get time, it keeps flying away on me - I'll definitely go post on the Rec Centre.
I am sorry - and not just for this. On reflection, I may have been unintentionally targetting you in a number of posts and ways. I never meant to - but there's a lot of things I never meant to do, but did anyway. I'll try to lay off.
