Godzilla / Fanfic Recs

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth stomping over Tokyo for.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Fan Fics, 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 non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

Godzilla Neo by Kaiju Samurai

Recommended by Dreamer
A great attempt at creating an Adaptation Distillation of the entire Godzilla franchise, even featuring many monsters from non-Godzilla Toho films (Like The Gargantuas, Orochi and the Mantango), featuring a pretty cool story behind it all; which manages to merge the many Godzilla continuities and even add in a few bits of its own, and excellent artwork to back it up.
It even manages to get Minila Rescued from the Scrappy Heap by reinvisioning him as a popular manga in the Godzilla universe. Very clever use of the character. —Filby

Godzilla Reborn by King Shisa 08

Recommended by Mariic
Another great story which takes the Godzilla Neo concept one step further by turning it into a Massive Multiplayer Crossover.
Sadly, the art isn't exactly the best, especially compared to Godzilla Neo. Still, the writing should prove interesting. —mdalsted

Godzilla Adventure by RobbieDaBoo

Recommended by Ultimate Brawl
Yet another Adaptation Distillation of Godzilla, this time with a far cartoonier artstyle. Every kaiju has a distinct personality, treating them more like characters than forces of nature. While early on in the story, it shows promise. Plus, Gigan and Megalon as a two-man Quirky Miniboss Squad is worth a chuckle from concept alone.

C.L. Werner Unupdated FF.net Mirror

Recommended by Majin Gojira
Many stories, mostly set in a continuation of the Heisei Continuity and often dark in tone. C. L. Werner is an old school fan author who has professional credits to his name and it shows. Lots of monster battles, well written but definitely darker in tone than most of the films these are based on. Godzilla vs. Cthulhu and Koumajutsu: the Coming of Bagan stand out as the darkest I've read.

Godzilla: All Monsters Attack: The Series by Chris McCullough

Recommended by Avon Ziggurat
Take Godzilla Neo, add the sensibility of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Featuring tons of excellent Mythology Gags and Continuity Nods, some excellent character designs, and a whole load of Crazy Is Cool (Godzilla uses Anguirius as a MACE). The revised characterizations and concepts run the gamut from fun and silly to genuinely terrifying, and the love for Godzilla and what makes him work is all over this. Cross-posted on several sites, it achieved something of a legendary status, but many of the notes are now lost. It has been known to induce powerful depression in people upon their realization that the show will never exist.

The Godzilla Novelization Project by Daniel DiManna

Recommended by Broken Arrow 01
Daniel DiManna is a G-fan who has undertaken the Herculean task of writing fan novelizations of nearly all the Godzilla films, even the much maligned films of the franchise, with the exceptions being the 1998 American film and the current MonsterVerse films due to already having their own. His motivations stem from being a fan of novelizations and bringing a unique interpretation to the source material as well as expanding upon it. Also it's adapting the Japanese versions of the films so DiManna has painstakingly researched almost everything, from the shooting scripts and deleted scenes to the culture, economics, and politics of the respective time periods the films were released in so as to ensure verisimilitude. He's also set up some timelines for each respective continuity so as to keep track of it all. The creativity and the experimental style he uses for each entry are excellent, as evidenced in his novella adaption for the Americanized cut of the original in the form of a news report written by Steve Martin. Since he began this project recently, it's still undergoing but it's definitely worth checking out.

Kaiju Revolution by Transapient

Recommended by DDZ 17
If you're looking for amazing Kaiju fanfiction, then this one is for you. Transapient is a DeviantArt user who's combination of incredible artwork and bizarre biological features for the Kaiju makes for a different and incredible fanfic. The fanfic is chock full of Mythology Gags, but has its own unique story, and allows many of the underrated Toho Kaiju to shine. The more scientific look at the monsters here provides for some delving into how the monsters work, and the story is gripping and is tightly plotted. The fanfic also restores many Kaiju to roles closer to their original counterparts: Godzilla is a violent and terrifying menace, Anguirus is Godzilla's nemesis and King Ghidorah has been restored to his status as an incredibly powerful threat who is able to kill off many characters. This fanfic needs a lot more love, go check it out if you're interested!

Terra Monstrum by Dino Hunter 2

Recommended by DDZ 17
Truly one of if not the best written pieces of Kaiju fanfiction (possible fanfiction in general) out there. I know I already recommended KR, but I had to recommend Terra Monstrum too. The story focuses on the more obscure Earth Defenders protecting the world from even more obscure enemies after Godzilla dies going into Meltdown against Mechagodzilla. The Kaiju are exceptionally well-written and, in some cases, more human than the humans are, the action is incredible and the story runs the full gamut from exhilarating to heartbreaking. It is well worth a read and shows just what a talented writer can do with fanfiction.

On the shoulders of Titans by Mr_Crocodile

Recommended by randiroo26
An amazing collection of fics that read well both as stand-alone stories and together as a series, Mr_Crocodile weaves a number of Kaiju into an elaborate alternate history fic. He goes above and beyond by including an annex for the series that compiles visual media that compliments his stories remarkably, as well as adds resources to help put the pieces of the stories together and some additional background. Some of the visual media are a large collection of detailed, color-coded maps created by the author himself depicting shifts in governmental or organizational control throughout the timeline of the series. He is not only committed to accuracy and continuity, but manages to create characters you want to root for (or maybe not) within the first paragraphs of each installment that keep you on the edge of your seat through the last words.

Shin Monsterverse by DalekMercy (Tumblr mirror

)

Recommended by bf2234
An interesting story that takes the premise set up by Shin Godzilla and fuses it with the original Godzilla series, Ultraman, and the Monsterverse among other continuities. Currently has a reboot
