Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying outside of your game for here:
These are wreck-commendations made by tropers for Wreck-It Ralph Fan Fics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Remember to use the template found here.
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 attacked by Ralph. 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 watch-list, if need be.
Do warn when a fanfic may head into romantic or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.
You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. You can do it by leaving a review or by adding your name to the recs line. Refrain from posting Conversation in the Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.

- Stories of Note: Race For Your Life, Vanellope Von Schweetz, It's A Slaughterful Life, Wreck-It Ralph 2
- Comments: This author's stories mentioned above would honestly fit right into the Wreck-It Ralph universe as either a sequel or a TV special. He gets the personalities and dialogue of all the characters down to a T, the action parts of different chapters are intensely-written and both stories as a whole have just the right amount of both comedy and heart. Plus his It's A Slaughterful Life story manages to clear up some of the glaring plotholes of Ralph Breaks The Internet's ending.

- Sypnosis: Just a person who finds writing tons of fun! Whether you enjoy my content or not, I sincerely say thank you for taking the time to read it.
- Comments: Everything is just so well-written, everything flows nicely, the story ideas are solid, and this person, who on his other fandoms brings focus to secondary/minor characters, brings a heavy focus to the Sugar Rush racers, characters who barely get any focus at all. And he sees the faults in Ralph Breaks the Internet, but he still accepts it as something to write for, which I respect, because I just can't accept it.
