WhereverYouAre_

Welcome to the FanFiction thread here at the High School Musical board on FanForum. Below is a list of stories recommended and considered to be high quality from the various couplings in HSM. The list is long and attempts to cover the best of the best from the various couples, however, it is nowhere near all of the must reads out there. Stories are discovered all the time so you as readers are encouraged to post links to more stories no matter the pairing.

Please explore the suggested links in the OP or other stories added frequently through posts. Some of the below stories are found on fanfiction.net, and others on various sites beyond that scope. The pairings have been grouped based on the volume of those suggested pairings, as well as the story links themselves are categorized based on the most recent updates. Oneshots, for the sake of space, have been grouped within the category of ‘Completed’.

heartunprepared

Why thank you darlink

WhereverYouAre_

No problem

This thread was being an ass to open. Every time I went to open I got DBE and then thousands of threads were open!

heartunprepared

has sucked lately. Lately? Always. It's open now, that's the important thing!

WhereverYouAre_

FF is a bitch.

Yeah, it'd be nice if we could have updates to talk about though. *cough*

heartunprepared

I think you guys read far more fic than me nowadays, I hardly read any of the fics i see people posting updates of at other boards.

Wild Spirit

you guys should start reading the reviews of fics and not the actual fic! that's so much more fun!!

heartunprepared

Do you actually do that? For what fic?

Wild Spirit

yes! when fics are too long or I find a new/old fic and want to know how it is that safes a lot of time and it safes from depressing/****ty endings

basically I read the reviews before I read an update or I start a new fic

WhereverYouAre_

That's cheating, Tess!

I don't really read a lot, Dani. I read EtL, BO (although I'm not a fan atm) and Scenarios: Everyday. I also read Midnight113's stories before she temporarily removed them all. Other than that, I usually read old fics when I want to read.

Mochafairiemonster

Sometimes the reviews can burn you too so buyer beware. I've read the good reviews at times and haven't been able to read the story because the writing is not good.

heartunprepared

Tess, if you found a long, old fic that was complete, would you read like, the reviews from the end?? Spoil the ending? What's the point then??

|Sweet Disposition|

So Diana started a community to raise money to aid Japan after the earthquake/tsunami...

It's basically where writers can exchange fanfics for donations

Check it out here
wildcatsgivebac: "Maybe we can work this out...but! Only if we're all in this together."

heartunprepared

I'm really quite excited about this I have asked on the moderator board to confirm that we're able to post about it - I'm sure it'll be fine, hence that I'm not going to remove, but just on the safe side since there are technical rules in relation to posting about advertising things and that does include for charities. I'm keen to participate - wondering if anyone might have any requests of me in terms of a one-shot or an outtake or a continuation of a one-shot I've written?

WhereverYouAre_

I really love this idea. It's so thoughtful and it's a really good demonstration of how we can work together to help. I assume the mod board said it was okay, Dani?
