Fanfic Author Appreciation Week, Day...8?

Fanfic Author Appreciation Week
March 6 through March 13
Post to your LJ each day at least one of your favorite fanfic authors and why you love them, their work, and why they need more appreciation.

Well here it is, the last day of Fanfic Author Appreciation Week. And so for my last act for this week, I'll leave you all with links to some of my favorite fanfic by authors who haven't already been mentioned here over the past seven or so days, and hopefully that will encourage you to check out their other works that I wasn't able to mention.

From the Shadows, by Black Queen.
An X-Men: Evolution fic set after the second season finale "Day of Reckoning", and AU for the rest of the series. Clocking in at an astonishing 91 chapters, 216, 471 words with no signs of stopping, this is probably one of the best - if not THE best - Evo fics you'll find out there. Rogue/Gambit is the main romance of the story and therefore Rogue and Remy are the main characters. But the romance is never forced in any way at any time during the fic, and Black Queen lets it evolve as the characters themselves grow. At no time does it seem like the plot or the characterization of the characters take a back seat to the coupling.

Entertaining Destiny, One if By Land, Two if By Sky and When Your Dreams Come True, all by Aerohead.
Writing in a universe that combines elements of the musical Wicked and the book from which it was based, Aerohead's stories revolve around the daughters of Glinda and Elphaba as they grow up, attend Shiz and try to right both the political and racial unrest that still remains in Oz. And check out some of Aerohead's other Wick-fic while you're there; you won't regret it.

A Long Awaited Love Story by Failite.
"ALALS" is probably the centerpiece of Failite's Voltron universe, as it documents her perspective of the evolution of the relationship between Keith and Allura.

Kingdom Come by Serengeti Dawn.
No, this has nothing to do with the DC title of the same name, or even the DC universe. Instead it chronicles the Disney land of Animasia, an amalgamation of nearly all the lands shown in every animated Disney film, as its inhabitants, the Disney characters we all know and love, prepare to reveal themselves to the real world at the dawn of the new millenium. Still a WIP.

There are many, many more fics that I could reccommend but unfortunately I don't have the time or the right to monopolize space on people's friends lists.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Hoo-boy, where to start, where to start?

Okay, first of all...Ed. Ed, Ed, Ed. That's three members of the design team who have paid a visit to the hospital now. First there was Paul with his kidney stone, then Ty and his appendix and now Ed's blistered feet. Hopefully we have all learned by now that applying aftershave to a broken blister is not a good idea.

And speaking of Paul, once again he was there when Ty and the rest of the design team needed him once Ed's foot ailment forced him off of his feet. At the end of the first hour I was wondering who Ty got to come in and sub; my family figured it was another celebrity because of the cheering from the crowd at the shots where the truck pulled up. Then when he was on the phone and said "I know you thought you were gonna have the week off" I figured it was another member of the design crew. And I was so pleased that it was Paul, because he's just got this big heart. I'm gonna come right out and admit it, Paulie's my favorite member of the design team. Michael used to hold the number one spot, but now he's been bumped down to number two. I don't see why he was so surprised that the crowd cheered when he showed up (although I do understand why he was surprised by being hugged by a random stranger ;)).

Cassandra's hospital project turned out great. I loved the theme they came up with, and I loved that the Disney animators came in from California to help. Hopefully we'll get to see more of the action at the hospital on tomorrow's How'd They Do That?.

I loved Preston and his book. That was just the coolest thing; ranks right up there with Preston lifting Lance up to touch the wind chimes.

Other observations: ( *insert witty commentary here* )

And finally, just a reminder...do NOT apply aftershave to a broken blister.
