Some Decent Fanfiction

O.K. since I was bored, I decided to list some decent fanfiction. Doesn’t it suck that there’s so much crappy romance fanfiction in just about every fandom out there? There’s only a few good romance stories to.

1. Who is Tony Stark? - What does the person on the street think of Iron Man and Tony Stark?
2. The Punisher: Hunters and Killers - The Punisher is trying to stop a city wide gang war in New York. And a very determined cop is on his trail. NOW COMPLETE.
3. We Are Foolish - A 66 year old Nancy Callahan reflects on her life and her love for Hartigan. Vignette, NancyxHartigan.
4. Just Another Saturday Night - An established Sin City Yarn from another POV; He’s really a good man, Marv. Loves his mother and takes care of his friends, so we don’t mind if he calls the shots around here once in a while.
5. In Over My Head: A Buffy/Hellblazer Crossover - Constantine goes to Sunnydale to get some help from an old friend… Rating for violence, swearing and slightly slashy overtones. Final chapter now up!
6. Revenge of the Queen - Hellblazer/BtVS/FR crossover. John Constantine runs into the Scooby Gang, becoming Willow’s mentor for magic. Willow accidentally casts a spell that induces someone’s love. Buffy decides to prove she doesn’t have a one-track attitude to Spike. S/B.
7. Hellblazer:Hogwarts - Sometimes, life bashes you upside the head with a brick in a sock. Hogwarts is about to get its latest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, a man cast adrift from his native world- a man named John Constantine.
8. And Hell Came With Him - John Constantine: demon hunter, wise guy, smoke a’holic, and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. There’s a hellblazer at Hogwarts.
9. Second Best - A X-Men oneshot; Emma Frost does some digging around Scott’s psyche and finds some unexpected things.
10. Back to Life - What happens to Lara after the events of Last Revelation. This was originally written as an entry to last year’s village of Tokakeriby Story Competition. A new competition for 2002 has been announced at http://www.shef.ac.uk/britfanfic/secondsub.htm
11. Anything You Need - Winston considers his devotion to Lady Croft, and thinks on her future. Gameverse and mentions Legend.
12. Cold Tea - Post Legend, mention of AoD. Everyone has painful memories, and sometimes we lock them away. Once in a while though, we go back…
13. Katie’s Tomb Raider Fanfiction - Award winning fanfiction created by a Tomb Raider fan.
14. Raider Rivalry: Indiana Jones vs. Lara Croft - The Raider of the Lost Ark meets the Tomb Raider . . . and sparks fly! I decided to move this back here for those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of reading it. Enjoy, r/r!

The list seems large, but when you stop and categorize them into their proper fandoms, there’s actually very few stories that I liked, haha. I’m also aware that some of the summaries make the stories sound dumb, and some of these stories I read after I gave up searching for good stories; I ended up being surprised how good they were!

Someone stated in a review on the “Anything You Need” story “you know you have read a good fanfiction when the line between gaming reality and fandom is blurred and you can no longer seperate the two”. I feel that this is true for most of the stories above, obviously the crossover stories are excluded.

I hope that if any one of you guys decides to read some of these stories, that you’re very entertained by them and that you like them!

P.S. New layoout, I haven’t change Coppermine’s layout to this one; I’ll do that tomorrow. Awesome banner made by Lucy.

What’s Your Secret?

O.K. so I just found a site called Post Secret and it’s a site where people anonymously reveal secrets about themselves. I thought this was an interesting idea.

If any of you want to reveal a secret, feel free to comment! Obviously, you can post under a fake name or use “anonymous”. If you’re uncomfortable using your own e-mail, then just use my old e-mail: nightpriestess_11@yahoo.com. It’s fine if you use your real one too; your e-mail is hidden anyways and it’s an invasion of privacy to post someone’s e-mail address, IP address, and contact information anyways.

Just to start it off, I’ll go first:

1.) I like to make up fantasies in my head; it’s usually like fan fiction since most of the stories involve established characters. I’ve been doing this since I was 6 and I do this most frequently when I’m trying to fall asleep.

2.)Sometimes I get teary eyed when something isn’t really all that saddening. I feel embarrassed when this happens with documentary shows.

3.) I find my own religion, Catholicism, extremely boring. Actually, I find any stories about Monotheistic God extremely boring. I’ve never even been able to finish reading the Bible, however, I find almost any ancient civilization’s mythology fascinating.

4.)The only exception to the above statement is that I also find Native American religion boring too.

Now, it’s your turn.

OH MY GOD
