    Okay, I know that I'm reviving a necro-thread (which is a major faux-pas), but the alternative is creating a new thread. And that would be kind of redundant, I guess, considering that I'll be asking a similar question to Johndoe022.

    Firstly, Johndoe, I can't find any Evil!Batman fics. Granted, I am unfamiliar with the Batman fanfiction universe, but I really can't remember off the top of my head. I do know a few Robin-goes-Evil fics, though; I can direct you to those, if you'd like.

    Secondly, are there any good DC fanfics? Not only Batman, but also Smallville, the Teen Titans show, and even that new cartoon, Young Justice.

    Hell, are there any Marvel fanfics either, especially X-Men or Spider-Man? I know that dellacouer wrote a good HP/X-Men crossover, but I'm thinking about non-crossovers in particular.

    There must be some decent superhero fics; the Teen Titans fandom apparently is the second biggest in the cartoon FF.net section after Avatar, so there must be something under all the sappy shipping fics...

    Okay, this should be here.

    While I am not as familiar with either DCU or Marvel fandoms, there have been several excellent fics recommended in here.

    I actually started with fanfiction in the Smallville fandom, of all places. I have fond memories of Lexwing's work, on FFN, and some of IolantheAlias work isn't too bad. Epitaph by kittsbud is another I remember liking. However, these were all "good" to a rather inexperienced reader of Fanfiction in 2007.

    A bunch of Teen Titans recs are here. In addition to those, I read Titans and The Lost Boy recently, which is now, counting sequels, over a million words long and is currently updating its nested-crossover at something like 40k words/week. HIVE Minded is not yet so long as most of the other fics worth reading in the fandom, nor does it focus much on the Titans themselves, but is a pretty fun romp for what it is and might start a new arc soon (Author claims an update is coming before July).

    Search for Chris Dee over at ff.net. Tehan clued me to his shit ages ago - entertaining stuff. Great for killing time between HP updates.

    Okay, thanks for the recs. I'm glad that the TT fandom has some relics, although I didn't particularly like H.I.V.E. Minded; Danny seems a bit OOC for my liking, and the Danny/Jinx thing got really weird at times.

    However, I think I caught a Marvel bug recently. Any decent fics there, especially from the X-Men franchise? I would prefer a story that isn't saturated with Wolverine, to be honest. I've read waaaay too many stories where he over-features, especially in plotlines which make him OOC...
