These are recommendations made by Tropers for {{Fan Fic}}s, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''{{zapped}}'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexual or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* Author of the ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'' and ''Curse of Nudity'' series. As the titles suggest, her stories heavily involve combat nudity and NSFW story elements, but the imagination behind the fight setups and storylines really rise beyond that. She loves building encounters that make use of niche D&D rulesets like underwater/aerial/vehicle combat, and the nudity is largely used simply to put her protagonists at a tactical disadvantage, forcing them to use critical thinking and environmental awareness to even the odds. The protagonists are also very fleshed-out and every aspect of their character sheet, even down to things like tool proficiencies and languages, are explained and justified through frequent flashbacks to their backstories. In many ways, her stories are a giant love letter to D&D and every tiny element of its massive fiddly rulesets, and IMO there's a lot to enjoy here even if you're not interested in the sex scenes.

* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Synopsis'': For two years of their time, they traveled the Realm, fighting off Venger, Tiamat, and other assorted demons. Now three friends meet up once again, in another fantastic realm. Eric, Bobby, and Presto think their adventuring days are behind them, but there may be one more surprise in store for them!\\\
This is a crossover with the WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983 animated series from the 1980's, and is a [[Fanfic/TheElementsOfHarmonyAndTheSaviorOfWorlds Hasbroverse]] story, taking about two weeks or so after the events of United We Stand, in late 2012.

''Tale of an Industrious Rogue, Parts [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tale_of_an_Industrious_Rogue,_Part_I I]], [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tale_of_an_Industrious_Rogue,_Part_II II]], and [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tale_of_an_Industrious_Rogue,_Part_III III]]'' by [=DM Kroft=]

The authors of the following fics rolled natural 20s on their Perform (Fanfiction Writing) checks.

* ''Notes:'' A {{Homestuck}} Crossover in an astoundingly well worldbuilt setting, run in the original MSPA style- reader suggestions control the plot. Complete at over 600k words.

* ''Comments'': Best.

* Recommended by GhostLad, {{Thebazilly}}

* Recommended by Tropers/TheMysteriousTroper

* ''Summary'': There are two finished stories here. Army of Commoners starts with a party of six level 6 characters and a whole bunch of [=NPCs=] fighting and winning against two massive armies of [[EldritchAbomination eldritch abominations]] and only gets more awesome from there. Crystal Cantrips is a well-plotted campaign that starts with the equivalent of killing rats in a basement, and eventually leads to a dramatic world-destroying plot based around those same 'rats'.

''[[http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=247997 The Big One Campaign Log]]''

* ''Comments'': The author and his friends find more and more creative ways to take on ridiculous opposition and roll with their [=DM's=] punches on a level that can only be considered professional. And the character roleplaying is damn near suicidal at times. A great read and something like a master class in high level play. Often compared to the above-mentioned [=SilverClawShift=] campaign.

* ''Comments:'' Generally agreed to be only moderately amusing for a Creator/TerryPratchett [[{{Literature/Discworld}} novel]]. That is to say, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny absolutely hilarious]], truly [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]], and still [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]]. Extremely recommended.

* ''Synopsis'': A massive fireball crashes to Earth in the northern part of [[ForgottenRealms Toril]], just before the Time of Troubles begins. But this is no meteor, it's the [[Franchise/{{Halo}} UNSC]] frigate ''Forward Unto Dawn'', containing not only the Master Chief, but also the Arbiter, Sergeant Johnson, and Commander Miranda Keyes.

* Reccommended by: Igornerd

* ''Comments'': Written in a journal format, it's very long and it's better than it sounds. Complete.

** It is/was very good, but the link is broken and the fic is dead.
*** May have found an alternative link [[http://www.gamejag.net/forum/index.php?/forum/148-adventuring-for-dummies/ here]]

* ''Synopsis'': ''Adventuring for Dummies'' can be summed up as the bastard child of ''[=DnD=]'' and ''OnePiece''. That's the only way to describe it, really.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[EveryoneIsGay homosexual]] or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* Psalm of Fire: Very bloody, but the approach and ability to portray wonder really snagged me into it.
** Comartemis: Seconded. As far as I care, this is Halo 3's canon ending.
*** kknd2: Third. It sounds like a recipe for a disastrous, short and idiotic fic. Then you read it, and it seems to be edging in that direction, then the Drow take the kid gloves off and sheer awesome ensues.
