Now, normally this is where I'd tell you to go read those stories and review them in the thread I linked above and/or vote on them, but 90,000 words by Sunday is a pretty tall order. So instead, I've grouped all the stories into broad categories below! Some are genres, some are stylistic similarities... basically, I tried to put three fics which all shared some significant features into each category. If 23 stories is too much, consider seeing if one or two of the categories below appeals to you, and sample from those! Or read all the fics in one category and see how they compare. Do whatever you like with them, really; I'm just trying to provide some more manageable chunks for people who'd like to read some fanfic, but aren't interested in committing to tackling the whole list. Check out my story groups, below the break.
Mythic/Old Stories
Pure Silliness
Something Is Amiss...
Human/Sci-Fi
What a Twist!
Darker Fare
Celestia Time
It's Magic, I Ain't Gotta Explain... It
Are those categories often arbitrary and maybe not the single best descriptor of the fic? Probably! But hopefully this setup makes it a little less intimidating to try a couple, if you're interested.
And there goes any hope I had of making progress on my list
ReplyDeleteI think I'll be keeping my reviews to my blog. Even by my standards, this lot is pretty rough.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't even gotten through the top ten winners of the Outside Insight contest yet. Although I did finally read I Am Demon yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI STILL haven't gotten to them. :(
