I just thought that I'd leave some links to some of my favorite profic that's legally available for free online.
Mountains of Morning by Lois McMaster Bujold.
This is a short story. It won a Hugo Award, and is therefore available for free. It's part of Bujold's excellent Vorkosigan Saga. This particular story is mystery/science fiction and very good.
A Study in Emerald by Neil Gaiman
The link is to the Wikipedia page; you can download the PDF from there. This is--I am not making this up--Sherlock Holmes/Cthulu fanfiction. Another short story. It also won a Hugo Award.
The Big Meow by Diane Duane
Unfortunately incomplete, but you can read seven chapters for free. It's about time-traveling cat wizards. It's part of Duane's Feline Wizards series, but you don't need to have read the others to understand it.
Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
I don't love this quite as much as the others, but it's the rough draft of the entire novel for free--and it is quite good--so I had to post it. It's a fantasy novel.
So, who else knows of (legally) free, good, profic?
