    A number of excellent fic posted here, Most I've read, but some new ones. so thanks for that ^.^
    As I agree with many of you on the stuff already Posted I'm going to try NOT to include any of them.... Now lets see...

    Kyuubi Chronicles, First Scroll by: Griever
    Definitely makes the cut, I just wish he'd start the next one...

    Love Potion #9 By Dave-D was awesome, Another naruto fic

    Larceny, Lechery, and Luna Lovegood! By Rorschach's Blot Has got to be one of my favorite Humor stories even if it's a little odd at times.

    I'll probably get a WHOLE lot of shit for these, but A Second Chance at Life and it's sequel Changes in a Time of War By: Miranda Flairgold are some of the Best HP fiction I've ever read, even though they violate quite a number of DLP's 'Potter Laws'

    Stranger than Fiction By: DsirinWsdm Is my favorite 'character POV' story. I have yet to find another story that is told well from a second person perspective. It's a Naruto story though, so be warned.

    Most of the rest of my favorites list have already been posted, so I'm afraid that you'll have to make due with these ;-)

    I actually really liked A second chance at life..But then it got really long and drawn out towards the end. Plus the fact he went back to Ginny/Hermione and Ron in the end which totally turned me off.

    Um...Did you actually read the story?

    Ron joins the other side of the war and gets killed by demons and Harry only went back to Europe to visit.

    Without a doubt "Where in the world is Harry Potter" and the two sequels that go with it (with Bob the dementor) and "A second chance at life"

    I would have to say that my fav fic's are Learning to Breath and the Darkness Within.

    Learning to Breathe by onoM reviews
    Harry Potter is 16 years old. He already defeated Voldemort, with the help of his Godfather Sirius Black. Now he is in for the biggest challenge of his life: attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
    Words: 94,814 -

    The Darkness Within by Kurinoone reviews
    What if Wormtail hadn't told Lord Voldemort the Potters hideout. What if he took Harry straight to him instead? A Dark Harry fanfic. AU Mild HG
    Complete - - Words: 356,435 -

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2016398/1/Darkly_Treacherous is my favorite Harry Potter story.

    Darkly Treacherous » reviews
    AU: What if Harry grew up neglected by his parents? What if he had been kidnaped by Voldemort and raised as his dark heir? Read and find out!
    Harry Potter - Fiction Rated: T - English - Adventure/Drama - Chapters: 28 - Words: 75,087 - Reviews: 3524 - Updated: 12-25-07 - Published: 8-17-04

    The author can write, and the child!Harry passes pretty quickly.

    Kurinoone's story is a plaguerism, but I still liked it more than what it plaguerized. The guilt still keeps me up at night. The writing was more polished, I guess.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2168082/1/The_End_of_a_War is my favorite story spanning all fandoms. The writing is the closest I've seen to professional. The action is great, the author makes great use of plot devices, and I was surprised to see it in a dubious fandom like Halo. The little mistakes like super luminal instead of supra were more than ignorable.

    The End of a War » by Mr. Clark reviews
    Truth has taken the Forerunner ship and is on his way to the Ark. Keyes and Johnson have stopped Installation 05 from firing, but the failsafes have been activated. Janissary James and the others on Earth are ready to take the fight to the Covenant.
    Halo - Fiction Rated: T - English - Action/Adventure/Suspense - Chapters: 27 - Words: 188,283 - Reviews: 644 - Updated: 7-21-06 - Published: 12-11-04

    I think that the best all-around fic is Ruskbyte's Backwards Compatible. The potential for violence, decent love story (for those who care), and technomancy are all killer.

    And Luna's a lesbian. I love lesbians.

    Ah, that's one awesome fic. Sadly it was last updated in 2006 and doesn't look like it will ever be finished. Surprisingly, there are quite a few high quality fics in a dubious fandom like Halo.

    Soulguard's works are a good example of this.

    Definitely hard to pick a #1, but these are my personal favorites thus far:

    Definitely nonjon's Where in the World is Harry Potter? Series
    LT2000's Dakaath
    Jbern's Bungle in the Jungle
    Tinn Tam's Song of the Trees

    There is no number one for me, lots of fics I've read were great.
    However, the one I'm enjoying most at the moment is, without a doubt, Shezza's Denarian Knight (Denarian Renegade was amazing too).

    There are many number ones for me. It is difficult to say who comes first however I would recommend Harry Potter: Dark Memories by BlueOwl. This author has two fics and is doing an excellent job on them.

    Many of my faves have already been mentioned, but one of the all-time awesomest, imo, is:

    Anarkia by Naia
    "Abandonned by his guardians, Harry Potter vanished from existence. Years later, a young man graduates from one of the most elitist and secrete Magical schools and makes his way through Magical societies. Fate or Fatality? Ancient Greeks called it Anarkia."


    So much utter fucking potential, what with all the different subplots and top notch quality. Unfortunately, it looks like Naia has abandoned it.

    Any other story. Any other fucking story and that would be an absolute fucking dead-panned catastrophe.

    Edit 2: The Song of the Trees was just updated.

































    Edit 3: Just kidding.

    Eh, Most of my favourites have been mentioned

    Bungle, Denarian Renegade/Knight, Second chance at Life, Black Comedy...the usual epic ultra ones.

    Two of my absolute favourites and apparently abandoned though are:

    Harry Potter and the Litany of Blood


    So Sue Me

    Both of these are brilliant. So sue me has some epic lulz. Litany combined two of my favourites pairings ever and an easy to hate Ginny.
