| Vanessa Fanfiction Thread #112 ~ b/c fanfiction isn't just a 'Summertime Game'; it's a matter of life and death
For all those new to the fanfiction scene, below is a list of stories that are considered to be of high quality and “must reads” to start you off on your journey through the wonderful land of fanfiction.
The list is broken up into the relevant categories, and then further broken up into groups depending on whether the story has been completed, in the process of being written (and the frequency of updates/last time updated), or just oneshots.
I would like to point out a few things about the following list of stories. - All stories below are there because we think they are of high quality and are ones you should definitely check out. Regardless of how old the story is or how frequently the story is updated; they’re all good stories, so don’t just skip over all the stories that aren’t frequently updated, because I promise that you will be missing out on an amazing story. We wouldn't have listed the story if it wasn't.
- Several of the stories have a
strike through them. This means that at the current time the story is unavailable to be read, but will be up again at some point. - Whilst the list below is quite extensive, that does not mean that it contains every single high quality, “must read” story out there. You might find that you favour different writing styles to the ones listed below, in which case I’d suggest that the best way to find other stories you might like is to check out the favourite authors and stories listed by the authors that you do like. There are other ways of finding good stories, so don’t think that just because the story isn’t listed below, that it isn’t a good story.
- Some of the stories that were previously listed in the opening post (OP) have been deleted because they no longer existed on the server they had been posted on, or led to an inconclusive place (i.e. FanFiction.Net deleted the story, it led to a locked LiveJournal page, so on and so forth). No offense is made to be taken from the deletion. If you remember a story that was previously listed and have seen posted it elsewhere, share it with the thread, and further steps can be taken from there.
But enough with that, happy reading everyone! Hope to see you all dropping by with comments about your favourite stories soon!
