I’m going on a road trip, and I’m interested in fic recommendations. I had a fic in mind to read during the trip, but as I’ve been reading it, it’s become a bit darker than I thought it would be. I may still read it some; it is well-written, but I want to have some backups in case it gets too much and I want to distract myself with something less bloody and grimdark.
Some violence is okay, as long as it isn’t graphic or sexual in nature. I prefer something that’s at least 15k words in length, preferably a little longer since I would like to finally finish a longer fic.
My main fandoms are Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers, and Puss in Boots: the Last Wish, though I would be willing to read something from an unfamiliar fandom if it is high fantasy or science fiction related (especially if it focuses on sentient robots/has a well-developed sentient robot)
Here are some of my other fandoms: -Arthurian Mythology -Murder Drones -Record of Lodoss War -Star Trek: the Next Generation -Robotech -Magic Knight Rayearth -Sailor Moon -Almost all Disney/Pixar movies
Self-recs are fine by me :)
Here’s a Mulan fanfic that I thought was quite good! It’s a mix of the Disney flick and the original Ballad of Mulan.
There is some violence, because of course there is it is taking the fact of someone going to war seriously. Still, it goes into what if the main character was indeed trans and then how long an actual war would take.
Thank you! I read the first two chapters on the return trip back, and it seems to be a pretty solid retelling, which even implements aspects of the original legend. I was also pleasantly surprised that it was narrated in first person. I will be sure to continue it now that I’m back, and express my appreciation for the author!
