SEAN'S TOP 10 DESERT ISLAND FICS:


9) Chasing the Wind, by J. Austin Wilde (Ranma)
    Assuming I like the ending.  Remember, Jamie, I'm an Ukyou
fan as well...

You an Ukyou fan?! I never would have guessed! Maybe it was all of the
vague warnings I kept getting. The 'Good' & 'Bad' references. Sour
Times! Nahhhhh....

Anyways, since I'm here... Here are my Top Ten in no particular order:

1) Joseph Palmer's "Seasons." It was my first fanfic(s) I ever read.

2) James Stone's "Fall of the Eagle." Assuming he ever finishes it!

3) Greg Sandborn's "The Night." Just beautiful. Shorter than 20 pages
but it's never stopped me from rereading it frequently.

4) Richard Lawson's "The Dying of the Rose." An aftermath story of "Thy
Inward Love."

5) All of the snuff-fics. (You know who you are...)

6) All of the DNR Episodes. (Hey I know this is a series, but on my HD
they're all pasted together!)

7) "Five Star Stories Side Stories" I'm blanking on the author, but I
love the detail and craftsmanship of the story. FSS is my all time
favorite 'Mecha'/'Drama' manga, and I fell in love with the movie when I
first saw it as a fansub eight years ago. One day I'm gonna write a FSS
fanfic. Look in the RAAC archives.

8) "Attention on Deck" Again blanking on author but it was a well
written 'memoir' of a hero of the Robotech Wars. You can find it in the
RAAC archive.

9) "March of the Pigs," by Stephen Gagne (I think... Can you tell I was
woefully unprepared here?) I loved the NIN musical selection, and highly
recommend that you listen to the appropriate tracks as you read the
story. (Hope my discman has enough batteries for how long I'm gonna be
stranded on this island!)

10) "Ranma 1/2: Hellbound," and once again I don't know off the top of
my head who the author is. It's the Prince of the snuff-fics, being a
Hellraiser x-over, and would have been the King of the snuff-fics if the
author hadn't wimped out at the end and brought everyone back.

There you go, from the depths of my depravity.
