Notable Fanworks
- Black Eyes (Pirates of the Caribbean) -- Jack Sparrow backstory. Tha Wrecka writes: Amusing story about an adventure for a younger Jack Sparrow.[1]
- Fitter Happier More Productive (Angel) -- widely recommended Five Things piece, focused on Connor. Jen writes: If you have ever liked Connor, or if you've ever enjoyed the stories of the "5 Things That Didn't Happen" challenge, read this immediately. ... Heartbreaking, beautiful, and all wonderfully possible and believable even as the stories all require mostly original characters and scenarios and names.[2]
- King under the Mountain (The Hobbit) -- dark AU written for The One Ring Challenge. Winner of the Mithril Awards The Hobbit category in 2003.[3] Espresso Addict writes: A dark tale of obsession and race conflict, with an unusual AU premise that unravels slowly as protagonist and reader penetrate deeper.[4]
- Knock the Smile Off My Face (Alias) -- Dixon vignette. Victoria P writes: Marvelously in character, and heartrending. And the ending with Marshall is just perfect.[5]
