Unless you’ve been living in a box, you probably know something about fan fiction. You may love it or hate it; but if you read it at all, you already know the difficulty of finding something decent to read. Who wants to slog through hundreds of terrible stories to find that one gem?
Surprisingly, I actually enjoy digging through the mess, and that means you don't even have to dirty your hands. Every Friday, I’ll recommend some fan fiction from various fandoms. There’s no guarantee that any of it will be to your taste, but at the least you can count on stories minus glaring grammatical errors.
Selections for this week:
Lord of the Rings Fandom
Hands of the King by Anglachel--A novel length fic about the love story between Denethor and Findulas. This story gives depth to a Tolkien character that is often ignored. (If you need your memory refreshed, Denethor is Boromir’s father and the steward of Minas Tirith.) It’s highly readable, well-researched, and full of political goodness.
Star Wars Fandom
Crashing in Time by Siamesa--A humorous little alternate history fic. The writing is a bit shaky in places, but it’s worth reading for the time travel silliness.
Sorry there are only two this week, but I haven't organized all of my links yet.
