Hey, guys! I found a few goodfics as well. They're all in the Pit, but I assure you it's goodfic. The Pit is weird. There's a lot of dirt, rocks, and general crap, but sometimes you find some gold or a diamond. But you have to wade through a lot of crap to get to such valuables. Here's the gems I've found in the Redwall section:
Killy-s in general, is, in fact great. But it'sOf Fur and Flame, in which "At the Mountain fortress of Salamandastron mother-to-be Peony Linwood anxiously awaits word from her husband Long Patrol Captain Tutsan Linwood. Meanwhile out in the woodlands an ambitious young fox longs to become a great warlord feared by all." that I'm recommending.
Killy sometimes makes spelling/grammar mistakes, but they're usually quite minor, and she's very accepting of concrit.
And then there's Highwing, who wrote The Urthblood Saga, which is actually still in progress, and currently has two novles ("The Crimson Badger", the first book of which is linked above, and "The Shrew War", the second novel) and a total of 11 "books" into which the novels are divided, as well as an origin story for his author surrogate, Highwing the sparrow, a few short stories, and a few outtakes from the first draft.
The summary for Book I on TCB is: "The Badger Lord Urthblood arrives at Redwall bearing a dire prophecy, and soon the Abbey is preparing for a war like no other."
I personally have read all of what's there. It's simply the best fanfic I've ever read. I warn you, though, it's a little darker than the original "Redwall" series, and there's some pretty nasty stuff that goes on and a lot of controversy, and the TSW gets loads of gruesome deaths.
And last but not least isSamadhir, who wrote two fics of The Urthblood Saga (yeah, fanfics of fanfics), both of which are fairly good. They're called "Wolfrum, an Urthblood Saga Fanfic", and "Waiting For the Worms, an Urthblood Saga Fanfic". The summaries are, respectively: "As the army of Urthblood prepares for their journey to Redwall Abbey, Mykola the Sword fox gets the responsibility of looking after Wolfrum, one of the "problem soldiers" under the badger's command. Based on "The Crimson Badger" by Highwing."
And: "Taking place shortly after the end of Highwing's "The Shrew War", this story follows two beasts, a shrew sergeant and a woodland rat, through an eventful day in the aftermath of a very important decision made by Urthblood."
I hope you find them good. Here's my recommendations from, of all places, Team Fortress 2:
Morbid Curiosity, in which "The medic dwells on his isolated past and fascination with medicine he held since childhood, and how they influenced the man he is today."
Purification, in which the Pyro reflects on his/her/its past, and why he/she/it is the way he/she/it is. Warning: reference to rape.
Medic's Acid Trip, in which... Well, I think you can figure it out.
And, finally, here's a nonsense (but still hilarious) crackfic from Harry Potter (fair warning, there's some bad language): Napalm I think you know what happens, guys.
