''[[https://archives-of-the-scholar.tumblr.com/ Staff of the Scholar]]''
* Recommended by intuitiveArtificer
* ''Status'': On Hiatus
* ''Synopsis'': Franz Irinith-Faust is a half-angel boy who has been stranded on Earth with his human mother. Above all things, he thirsts for knowledge, and he will do anything to acquire it. Including make a deal with a powerful demon, which falls through, as such deals are wont to do. 'Staff of the Scholar' follows Franz Faust as he attempts to recover from the repercussions of said deal, comes into his own power, and journeys to his home realm to claim his crown and title.
* ''Comments'': I. LOVE. THIS SERIES. It's a coming-of-age sci-fi/fantasy epic that deals with topics such as PTSD, abuse recovery, family legacies, and self-actualization in incredibly interesting ways. It establishes unique and memorable dynamics between its characters, many of whom are LGBTQ+, and it has some of the best damn villain writing I've ever seen. It's told primarily through an in-character blog that welcomes reader interaction, which may be confusing for those who are new to ARGs and unfiction projects, but it's a great story whether you choose to interact with the blog in-character or just follow along and archive binge.

* ''Comments'': A very funny TakeThat on the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} FanDumb. Basically, the two sites are rivals and why don't make them fight against each other? Almost everything Marriland talks is a CrowningMomentOfFunny, and Serebii is a DeadpanSnarker, so HilarityEnsues. It also has two sequels.

** So-so. It is well written but seems to suffer from a lot of DiabolusExMachina and the whole Deconstruction thing... it is not. Its dark, its gritty, its hardcore but not, in fact, a {{Deconstruction}} of the Genre since it not play things painful straight, it just make them painful and sad. It has to do with MagicalGirl Genre as much as Warhammer40k has to do with Military/Politic Fiction. It is there if you just [[MST3KMantra look]] [[ArtisticLicense hard]] [[DanBrowned enough]]. Is still recommended and a good way to pass the hours but be warned, it '''can''' suffer a lot of HypeBacklash

''Literature/ASymphonyofEternity''
* Recommended by Duras1989
* ''Tagline'': When the universe is at war, which side are you on?
* ''Synopsis'': ''Inspired by Anime/LegendofGalacticHeroes'', ''Discworld', ''Flashman'' and with a bit of ''Creator/NeilGaiman'' this series chronicles an interstellar war fought by fleets numbering tens of thousands in a galaxy where magic instead of technology is what was used to tame the stars and colonize space. The war rages across a billion stars all the while ancient beings watch the chaos bellow, at least for now.

** Seconded by {{@/Amethystasheryn}}. The first installments may not have quite the flare that the later ones do, but that's no bother. The writing only improves over the course of the series (and continues to do so), and successfully makes Nocte simultaneously a developing {{badass}} and yet insanely human. Nocte's [[DeadpanSnarker constant snarkery]] only makes it better.

* ''Synopsis'': ''Soul'' is an unusual take on the MagicalGirl genre, starring a main character who the author has described as "the lovechild of [[Franchise/SailorMoon Ami Mizuno]] and [[CaptainSNES Alex Williams]]." She has a near-death experience, but instead of going toward the light, she ''stops to perform experiments'', and thereby develops [[MagicAIsMagicA a very intriguing set of magical powers]].

And stay tuned for the sequels.
