  • ''Jenny and Musachan, despite only having Homestar x Strong Bad, have a way with keeping the characters' personalities intact. Their stories are interesting and well-written, making this Troper believe that even a die-hard slash hater would like their writing.
    • You're absolutely right. As one who dislikes slash myself, I seriously wish that they would write something that isn't slash, considering that they'er two of the best H*R fanfic writers out there, but I have to give them credit for their writing.

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

Pom Pom's Eleven

  • Recommended by Shwoo
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: It's set five years after homestarrunner.com mysteriously closed. It turns out that Homeschool Winner was embezzling from the site for years, and Pom Pom assembles the rest of the characters to get revenge.
  • Comments: Pom Pom's Eleven is one of the best Homestar Runner fanfics out there, and one of very few to mimic the character voices accurately. Again, the author did the character voices mostly accurately. That's very difficult to find in Homestar Runner fanfiction.

Strong Bad Email 1X6: resurrect by that one little guy

  • Synopsis: [This description was copied in violation of our Plagiarism policy. Please replace it with original writing.]
  • Comments: A very well written fic. It's very easy to imagine Strong Bad actually doing this. The dialogue is also in character for everyone involved, and it manages to retain that certain Homestar Runner charm throughout.

Reality is a Harsh Mistress by Shwoo

  • Synopsis: Strong Bad wakes up to find the world has changed. For one, he's human.
  • Comments: Humanity Ensues is a bit of a cliche in the Homestar Runner community, but this fic pulls it off very well.

  • Synompsis: Strong Bad finds out Homestar has a new worst enemy, who turns out to be none other than Strong Sad's imaginary friend.
  • Comments: It could have been longer, but it was still a sweet and funny story, and all the characters were in character.

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

  • Comments: This fic is the perfect blend of Homestar Runner original flavor and added depth. It gives you a little more insight to the characters and their relationships without trying too hard...plus, Modestly Hot Homsar makes an appearance.

  • Comments: This reads exactly like a cartoon in prose format, the voices and mannerisms are spot-on.

He Makes Me Laugh by Nintendo-Nut1

  • Recommended by SimplySimple
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Marzipan/Homestar
  • Synopsis: Marzipan comes home from an unsuccessful protest. Can Homestar cheer her up?
  • Comments: A very uplifting comic. While short, it manages to capture the relationship between the two characters perfectly. This is done all without words, no less. Get some tissues ready.

  • Pairings: Strong Bad/Homestar
  • Synopsis: [This description was copied in violation of our Plagiarism policy. Please replace it with original writing.]
  • Comments: This is, without a joke, probably one of my favourite fics. By the above Havoc-Creations, it has just the right mix of funny moments, heartwarming ones, and even some sad ones. Even my friends who don't like slash like this one. It is worth it!

Touch by TheShebinator

  • Pairings: Homestar/Strong Bad
  • Synopsis: Do you like sappy cuteness? Do you like fluff? DO YOU LIKE STRONGSTAR? This fic has all 3 of those things. SB and Homestar play some crappy video games together, but wuh oh! Turns out Strong Bad wants to be held (by Homestar in particular)! Cuteness ensues.
  • Comments: WARNING: Contains StrongStar and very, very sappy (but wholesome) fluff. I would recommend it even if you have an eternal burning hatred for Homestar/Strong Bad as it is very well written.
