It's Saturday again, which means that it's time for me to do a fanfiction review. Unfortunately, I've been super busy this last week (what with school cramming in some finals for before the break and my higher-level classes assigning homework), so instead of a fanfiction review, I've got some author recommendations.
Now, I only have three authors favorited on my Fanfiction.net account. Only three, out of my 500+ favorite fics.
Each of these authors specializes in a fandom. Shut In writes for "Futurama," Silvia Grace writes for "Black Butler," and CoyoteLoon writes for "My Life as a Teenage Robot." Unfortunately, of the three, only Shut In is still active. She's still updating her incredibly long and amazing fic, "Walking a Fine Line."
Now, admittedly, everything Shut In writes comes with Fry x Leela, so if you're not into that ship, you might not enjoy her work. But I adore her writing style, and I feel that the plots and world-building more than makes up for any shipping. And the relationship stuff is done so well that it had me grinning and close to tears sometimes.
As for Silvia Grace, don't worry about any shipping with her. I know that the Black Butler fandom is sort of known for shipping a small child with an immortal demon who wants to kill him (guilty, as charged), but she writes absolutely none of that. Her fics are very story/plot based, and well-planned. The amount of research that she puts into these historical settings are wonderful, and her OCs are likable (I even like the villains) and don't overstay their welcome. I sometimes reread her work because of how much I adore the ideas and story. "The Young Master, Narcissistic" is easily my favorite of her works, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Black Butler.
For those who don't like OCs, I should warn you, CoyoteLoon has been guilty of giving hers the spotlight on more than one occasion. But it never bothered me — the OCs are relatable, unique, and genuinely interesting. Some of her fics have an overarching storyline, so I suggest reading them all. It can be sort of time-consuming, but the world-building goes far and beyond what the original "My Life as a Teenage Robot" ever did. I always thought that her fics deserved more attention for how much effort clearly went into them. Reading the whole set is a unique experience that had me on the edge of my seat the first time.
Thanks for reading! Check these three out, if you're interested in the fandoms they write for!
