Stop being so modest, Nesh!

Seeking Recommendations by [EvilAI]UBEROverlord on 2015-03-17 05:18:00 UTC Reply

I have enjoyed all the PPC Stories I have read to this point, so now I want to know is there one that would really qualify as a must read?

Off the top of my head I have already read the following missions:

Twila
Celebrian
Avalon
Mess Efekt
First Flight

Still trying to get some of the, colorful, language from Celebrian out of my head. Also still trying to find out how someone comes up with an Ace Combat-Harry Potter Crossover.

So really I am just looking for any that the community would consider must reads.

My Spin-off Recs list. These are all older spin-offs that I find to be both excellent and instructional for getting the feel of the PPC. I keep thinking I ought to expand it to a proper Top Ten and make a list of more recent spin-off recs, but since I haven't done either of those things yet, I hope you enjoy those seven. {= )

I'll try to think of some individual stand-out missions, since that's what you asked for, but the ones that are part of a longer series tend to be best when read in order with the rest of the series, IMO.

I appreciate it.

I'd like to recommend her (?) spin-off, especially Nume and Ilraen's missions.

Trojie and Pad's missions. I can't do the fancy link text so have a URL. http://rc45.dreamwidth.org/48575.html

And by the way, I also second Neshomeh's missions. Might I also direct you to "A Girl out of Time"? (NSFW) It's a Doctor Who/Harry Potter crossover by the Agent, the Disentangler, Eledhwen Elerossiel and Christianne Shieh. Very good mission, IMO.

Foxglove and Laburnum and Stormsong and Skyfire have good missions, too; just be warned, Foxglove and Laburnum's sporkings tend to be very NSFW.

Thanks for the recomendation by [EvilAI]UBEROverlord on 2015-03-17 19:21:00 UTC Reply

Mission was an interesting read. I appreciate the recommendation.
Your stuff's pretty awesome as well. by SkarmorySilver on 2015-03-17 18:08:00 UTC Reply

I'm sure that once you complete Rose Potter, you'll be a bit more famous throughout the PPC community, and I can't recommend your missions enough in general.

Other favorites I know of include Florestan and Eusabius (one of the earliest PPC spinoffs I ever read), Derik and Earwig and Gall, Aster and Lore, and Joyce and Singsong.

I would recommend my own stuff as well, but knowing my history, maybe it would be better for someone else to do that instead XD

He's right, y'know. by Desdendelle on 2015-03-17 23:47:00 UTC Reply

Your missions are rather good and sporking Rose Potter is quite the magnum opus.

And my earlier missions were horrible, they read more like MSTs than anything. ^^;

I'm not sure I agree with that. by Scapegrace on 2015-03-18 11:15:00 UTC Reply

I've always liked your writing style - and your agents, for that matter - and I'd wager it's... a term I'm not sure exists but I'm choosing to call "progression bias". Like, your early stuff's still obviously of a high enough standard to be counted as a PPC mission, but because you've got better over the time you've been here (and especially given your insane output damn gurl you a machine) all the other stuff you've done seems retroactively worse because you're holding yourself to higher standards, despite it being exactly the same level of quality. =]
