Goodfic Recommendations! by

Well, it's the beginning of a new year, let's start it off right! Considering how we talk about badics all the time, howabout some good ones?
I got a lot of good fics to talk about, but I think one at a time should be good (unless you have a few you want to share). My recommendation:
Fic: "The Pony POV Series" by Alex Warlorn
Fandom: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Links: http://alexwarlorn.deviantart.com/gallery/32745467 and http://alexwarlorn.deviantart.com/gallery/32848832
(Oh, and there's also a TVTropes page, but be warned, it contains spoilers up the wazoo.)
Info: Remember early in Season 2 when Discord - for a lack of a better term - essentially mind raped everypony in Ponyville? ...Well, this fic takes it to a new level, showing the psychological effects of Discord's manipulations. Be warned, there is a LOT of Nightmare Fuel involved. The fic has multiple parts, the first is the "Discorded Ponies series", about how the Mane Six fell under Discord's spell, followed by the "Reharmonized Ponies series", about how the characters deal with the psychological torment they went through, even getting character development in the process, and the last one is... well, that'd be spoiling it a bit, go read this story for yourself. It's WAY better than it sounds, full of awesome, hilarious, and heartwarming moments among all the terrifying ones.
So yeah, what other fics do you people want to recommend? -

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. - Don't forget about the Rec Center! by on 2012-01-08 18:50:00 UTC Reply

I'm working out a list... but I have a lot of favorites. I'm not sure if there's a limit on how many recommendations to put up. Also, can I recommend something someone else recommended?

No limits, and of course you can. by

Everyone has different reasons for liking the same things, usually, and if you think your rec page gets too unwieldy you can split it into even more subpages off of your own.
So instead of it all being on, say, PPCRecCenter/OpinionedAngel'sList, you can have it split up so it's PPCRecCenter/OpinionedAngel'sList/HPFics or PPCRecCenter/OpinionedAngel'sList/Crossover_Fics and so on. -

Most stories on EQD have to go through proofreaders. so that's a good place to start. But at the moment, I'd recommend
Luminosity by Alicorn (I absolutely despise Twilight, but loved it),
Infinity and Ready, Sette, Go by Moczo,
Echoes of the Past by DezoPenguin
The Snob From Canterlot http://www.fimfiction.net/story/4806/The-Snob-from-Canterlot
And...probably more stories that don't come to mind right now. -

Title: The Life and Times of Caughlin Mare
Fandom: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Link: Here
Info: There are no books on Discordian history, because only four ponies have survived from then until now to tell the tale, and two of them are in hiding from the other two... Origins, pre-diarchy. P.S.: Everything you know is a lie.
Title: Growing Up Kneazle
Fandom: Harry Potter
Link: Here.
Info: On the cusp of Harry's third birthday an impressive display of accidental magic will change his life forever. When Harry is rediscovered nearly nine years later, what will become of our intrepid hero when he finally attends Hogwarts?
Title: The CAT 'Verse
Fandom: Batman/DC AU
Link: Here.
Info: A massive Batman fanfiction effort centering on the villains of Gotham City-- the Scarecrow and his three unwelcome hangers on, specifically --written by Twinings (formerly Bright Nova) and BiteMeTechie.
I highly recommend this 'Verse to anyone who likes the DCU and just really well written fic in general. -

Dangerverse is an extreme AU Harry Potter fanfic. The fic's quite weird to begin with since it was supposed to have few chapters but then the author changed her mind. She made four main AU Harry Potter fanfic books, eight Dangerverse crossovers, and 21 oneshots about Dangerverse. The entire series have at least 1.6 million words and still counting since she is also making her fifth book.
You'll hate the first few chapters since there are some blatant Mary Sueish elements but they'll be gone as you continue to read the series and yes, the author is a big fan of the Grangers family. Anyway, have fun reading the entire series. -

I'll repeat my rec of the MIBxDiscworld crossover I mentioned down-Board:
"Watchmen in Black" by Beth Einspanier
The result of an idle mind, too much caffeine, and an overall feeling of "What would happen if..." Agents J and L of the MiB hunt a shapeshifting alien in Ankh-Morpork, and enlist the help of the Watch. Naturally, things don't go smoothly. Revised!
Crossover - Men In Black & Discworld - Rated: T - English - Adventure/Sci-Fi - Chapters: 11 - Words: 16,660 - Reviews: 31 - Updated: 11-18-09 - Published: 2-3-02 - Complete
It's got a few flaws—the characterization's a little off, and some of the jokes run on a bit too long—but aside from that it's still pretty entertaining. Lots of the jokes made me laugh aloud, and the overall concept is solid. I'm glad I read it. Please forgive the lack of scene breaks, since ff.net has arbitrarily removed them in the past and it's not too hard to keep track in spite of not having them.

Last night I found a Goodfic while I was looking for Badfic. How is that crazy? Well it's a Batman x Dr.Horrible's Sing Along Blog x Dr.McNinja.
AND IT'S GOOD. Or at least I liked it. As far as I can tell, everyone's in character and the author really knows their continuity. They even site references to past events! It's a fun read, and I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I did.
