Heya, everyone! I think that, with all the badfic we see, it's time to plug in to some goodfic. Basically, link the goodfic you find into this thread. Here's some that I found...
Quizzical by J.MacD "Quizzical Greystone has just become Twilight Sparkle's new research assistant. Poor Quiz is the most socially inept filly in all of Equestria. But if you can't make friends in Ponyville you can't make friends anywhere."
It's a My Little Pony goodfic and it hasn't been getting much attention. It deserves a little love.
Also under My Little Pony we have Fallen by Nikkel. "A daring rescue, the storm of the century, and a bolt of lightning strikes Rainbow Dash down. When she wakes up in the hospital, she is told that she may never fly again... AppleDash."
Yes, it's femslash. Let there be fair warning for those who do not enjoy pony shipping that it is contained in this fic. It seems to be working out quite well thus far, but I don't know how well it will work in the long run.
Anyone else care to throw some goodfic up? -

A handy place to accumulate goodfic you've enjoyed and that others have enjoyed enough to recommend as well. :D -

Glee Goodfic by

glee doesn't get a lot of attention here (Not sure if that's a blessing or a cure), so I thought I'd plug an author.
Soulless Warlock (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/546606/Soulless_Warlock)- sorry, I'm not good at posting links into words) writes several fics in Glee about an OC named Jack Harmon, who is the biggest asshole you'll meet. This guy also made me take a big look at how I write, changing from bland description to snarking at the characters- I cannot recommend his stories enough. -

NCIS Goodfic by

I know I've already said this once or twice, but Sequitur is AMAZING, and deserves capital letters, stars, and sparkles. Sequitur can make NCIS go into steampunk/Victorian AU and still keep everyone in character beautifully. Both the oneshots and the multi-chapter fics have a fine balance of fluff, angst and humor in the style of the actual NCIS.

Mentalist goodfic (and one for parody fans) by
on 2012-02-23 22:45:00 UTC
Reply
Kansas42 writes with gravity and style. Her three Mentalist oneshots are Cho-centric, sometimes hopeful and sometimes depressing, but always with an interesting plot, though in my opinion Red Silence could be a tad OOC, depending on whether you think Cho reacts to personal cases by getting touchy as he did in that fic.
Cifre's peculiar, cracky style is almost the opposite of Kansas42's. The parody "A Sad, Sad Day of Endless Angst" gets me every time, with so much Bad It's Good I'm surprised it's not more well-known.
"Outside, the rain still pours, weeping alongside you.
It is dark. Like tea.
And your suit.
And your soul."
Of course, half the fun is reading the reviews of readers who didn't realize it was a parody and took it seriously.
Tromana writes for every genre-from crackfic to angst to romance to humor. Several of her fics play with interesting ideas that might make you think (always a good thing). -
LotR Goodfic by
on 2012-02-23 22:33:00 UTC
Reply
Face of the Enemy by Soledad is exceptionally good-so much so that I actually read a lot of it, despite its length and the fact that I'm not very much of a LotR fan/expert.
The author possesses an excellent and semi-Tolkien-esque ability to describe another culture in detail. He/she believes that "the individual realms and peoples of Harad were based on – and partially named after – the once really existing nomadic or semi-nomadic Asian realms of the early Middle Ages." -
I can't really agree on the second one. by

I don't know. The scenario is horribly contrieved. Rainbow Dash isn't stupid enough to risk her life for a ribbon. And really, she has been hit by worse things than that. The whole mood doesn't fit the world.
And I'm not even a fan. -

Many people point to this as proof Twilight either has merit or has no merit (depends on who you're talking to, and how they spin it). I don't care about Twilight either way, but this is worth reading.

I don't care either. Personally, I think canon Twilight can go die in a fire, but whenever I'm faced with something stupid from the canon versions, I think of Luminosity and I'm better.

Honestly, I like the fact that Alice is used more here. Why risk a car crash when you can avoid it a few minutes before it happens? Why NOT ask the girl who can predict the reactions of people for relationship advice, in fact? Plus, the fact that there's an actual reason for the creepy-in-love thing that vampires have, as well as Bella screwing up royally with the werewolves, is awesome.
In fact, I think I'll go add Luminosity to the Twilight Goodfic list. -
