Reccomendations and review

navigation

All: The section you're in right now, displays everything on the page as a single list, including the descriptions of other sections.

Fanfiction: Fanworks of other media. The vast majority of this is Danny Phantom related, but series derived from other sources are scattered throughout.

Webnovels: Original fiction published on the internet. Can be oddly distinct from the kind of thing you would normally find on a shelf.

Books: Any works published more professionally, usually with some kind of tangible version of the media that can be easily obtained through a major retailer or other outlet.

Nonhuman Protagonist: I love nonhuman protagonists, but have historically had difficulty finding well curated lists featuring this trope. Everything is either a huge mess, too limited, or just not to my tastes. This list exists to help me keep track of the good ones I've found over the years.

Note:While some of the works here should technically count as a nonhuman protagonist (for example, every Danny Phantom fanfiction on the list. The protagonist is canonically half ghost.) I've only really tagged those works where it either features prominantly or is a major part of the theme/plot.

Finished: Completed Stories

Unfinished: Incomplete stories (as of the last time I checked/got around to updating things)

Comics: Any story told via a pictographic medium. Manga, comics, manhwa, ect are all lumped together here.

It's been so long since my graphic novel phase, that I only remember the ones that truly stuck out.

A list of my favorite poems, in no particular order.

Due to how short most of these works are, I've taken the liberty of directly transferring some of these directly to the site, though links are still provided, should you want to see the source.

Doom is coming, and few believe.

Since time immemorial, the people of pern have been ruled by the cycle of the red star, a rogue planet that drops silver, thread-like strands that instantly conume organic matter as soon as it hits the ground below.

Is the worst part of war really the germans, or is it the man who keeps sending you on tour after tour because he wants to be in time magazine? Or the man who was promoted to Major because he was already named Major Major, and it matched? Or is it the people you never see, the men in suits with no signage, the unknown writers of all those rules, the endless, hungry war machine, where all of them are trapped together?

After the death of his uncle at the hands of a mugger, Peter is spurred to become a true hero, use his great power with great responsibility, and protect his hometown of New York.

summary

After being officially adopted by Tony Stark, Things have started looking up for Peter. No longer does he need to worry about the needs of his inhuman metabolism, homelessness, or the uncertanties of foster care. What he does need to worry about, however, is the lizard living in the sewers who may or may not be his old science teacher, illicit human/animal experimentation, and his adoptive father's co-workers, not all of whom are a fan of peter and his quirks.

combine that to Black Cat adding magic to her list of tricks and his overprotective mom AI persistantly threatening to end the world if Peter gets too hurt, and it will take more than a few witty puns and extra sticky webs for Peter and his new dad to work their way out with limbs and love intact.

Beggining as a comic written by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Spiderman tells the story of young Peter Parker, who, after getting bitten by a radioactive spider, finds himself imbued with fantastical strength, flexibility, and even the ability to climb walls! After the death of his uncle at the hands of a mugger, Peter is spurred to become a true hero, use his great power with great responsibility, and protect his hometown of New York.

summary

Spider-man comes back from the jungle with a hole in his memories and an accidental stow-away, a large, hyper intelligent spider. Unfortunately for Peter, the psychic bond it forms with him makes it really hard to squish. Unable to return the newly named Pheobe to her home, and very reluctant to reveal her to either New-York at large, or the not so tender care of Nick Fury and SHIELD, he resigns himself to care for her as best he can.

Which may be better than most, as it happens, because while Peter always had some spider-ish tendencies, his stint in the jungle involved a factor or two that made things worse. Spider-like urges are bad, spider like fangs, however, make highschool hell. Pheobe is happy to help, and so are his friends, but between a dissaproving aunt and his own self loathing, the difficulty bar is set a little higher than he would like.

And of course, we can't forget the villians, all of whom Peter has to juggle right along with everything else.

And who said being a teen hero was easy?

Now able to turn into the super powered "Danny Phantom", he must balance teenage responsibilities with the protection of his town from spectral threat.

summary

Danny's friends and family are worried about him. Ever since a portal accident left him hospitalized and damaged, he just hasn't been the same. Unreliable, reclusive, good grades and reliable attendence replaced with delequincy and failure, they don't know what to do.

Danny, meanwhile, is trying to hide a secret: He's not human anymore. Not since the portal accident, and never again, he will he ever be fully and wholly alive. Saddled with a ghostly, hazmat covered alternate form, a driving obsession, and deep self hate, he's just barely hanging on.

When he accidently causes Tucker and Sam to witness his "death echo" during a confrontation, even that crumbling grasp well and truly slips. With his friends and family convinced he's possesed, Danny becomes even more isolated, and piece by piece, the well kept secret of his ghost half falls away.

Will he still be accepted by those he cares for, or will they follow through on the cruel words they've unknowingly heaped on his other self?

Danny isn't sure, and he doesn't want to find out.

There will come a point where he may have to.
