Prospecting on the World Wide
Web:
Hand-Picked Fics
Looking for anything on the Web is exactly like prospecting...you have
to go through a lot of plain old ordinary dirt and rocks to find the good
stuff! Here's a list of my favorite fanfics for DBZ/GT, Slayers, Wild ARMS
and Odds & Ends.
Stuff you won't find here: my own fics, silliness, crossovers (with VERY
few exceptions), PWP's, songfics, poetry, any mega-fics with less than FIVE
chapters finished, anything that is a real pain to read (bad grammar, poor
spelling, not in English, "squint font," "too gross," weak
plot, no character development, BaD tYpOgRaPhY).
(If anyone is wondering, I'm still slogging through fanfiction.net and haven't
looked at any of the fics on filgaia.com. Yet. Nor have I gotten
even halfway through "Redemption").
This page is pretty much permanently under construction.
And here's the key:
Jewels -- great ideas exquisitely crafted, usually very long fics. Rarest
of the bunch. "Jewels" are so special they each get their own
graphic.
Gold nuggets -- very good, usually longer, fics.
Silver nuggets -- worth reading
Rating -- This page is for fanfics rated G - R. Lemons have their
own page.

Vejiitasei Ascendant |
The gold standard by which fanfics are measured. Three 'books' so far, now publically available again! Don't let the yaoi
hints fool you--the main pairing is Vegeta x Bulma. Book One: http://www.geocities.com/bulmasan/young_prince/ Book Two: http://www.geocities.com/bulmasan/chikyuu/ Book Three: http://www.geocities.com/bulmasan/super_saiyan |

Zelgadis on the Couch |
Very, very good fics. ZotR will never be finished because the Queen of Swords has given up writing fanfics to pursue professional endeavors. We wish her all the best. | |||

A Flower Whose Name I Don't Know Yet |
A classic from someone best known for "Jewel"-quality fanart.
Only a few grammatical errors keep it from the gold. Worth a read,
and finished. It's a very unusual pairing. The last sequel
is a lemon but has a warning page.
The author deserves some slack because her native language isn't English. |

The Story of Zed in St. Centaur |
All right, I have a weakness for Zed fics. That said, this is one of the best Zed fics you'll ever read. | |||

The Birds, the Bees, and So Forth |
Gremio blushes and stammers his way through THAT talk with the Young Master, who is 10 years old in this charming fic. | |||

Forever Young |
Ties up a plot twist I always wondered about. By the same author
as "The Birds, the Bees, and So Forth." |

ElfQuest: Hidden Years, issue 1 |
Not a fanfic but a comic book sample online. I chose this issue
because it's completely online, unlike the samples of their other
titles. Very nicely done. May take awhile to load each image if you're using a dialup connection. |
