Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[Everyone Is Gay|homosexual]] or [[Better Than Canon|non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, [[Shipping]] is [[Serious Business]].

You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting [[Conversation in the Main Page]] though; that goes in the discussion page.

''[http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=31640 Brand New Day - Henchman's Union]'' by Multiple

* ''Synopsis'': Four henchmen within the Henchman Union are given a simple job, to clear the lair of a villain who was captured by the police. They discover that the truth behind the villain's capture is much darker, involving the seamy underside of the Henchman Union and the lack of advancement. Eventually, the team teams up with {{spoiler|Dr. Horrible}}, {{spoiler|Moist}}, {{spoiler|Captain Hammer}}, and {{spoiler|a clone army of insane Pennies}} to battle {{spoiler|the Evil League of Evil}}.

* ''Comments'': Not purely a fanfic, actually a PBP game on the [http://www.atomicthinktank.com Atomic Think Tank] forums for ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]'', but excellently done and captures the spirit of the universe. Set after the end of ''Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog'' and features many background characters in fleshed-out form such as the Pink Pummeler, Bait and Switch, Conflict Diamond, Dead Bowie, and Fury Laika. An OOC thread with more backstage mechanics can be found [http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=31322 here].

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5277909/1/Murder_by_Publicity Murder by Publicity]'' by Seraphina2

* ''Synopsis'': Oneshot, set from Act II on. Finding murder too inelegant, Dr. Horrible finds a different way to destroy Captain Hammer.

* ''Comments'': A hilarious and well written alternative to Doctor Horrible's response to the ELE's letter.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4666548/1/Billy_Stinson Billy Stinson]'' by Seraphina2

* ''Synopsis'': What does Barney Stinson really do for a living? Why, of all places, did he decide to fulfill his community service hours at a homeless shelter? And why, oh why, does he seem to hate frozen yogurt so much?

* ''Comments'': An excellent [[How I Met Your Mother]] crossover, the story is amazing and both worlds are blended in a way that you can believe it's the same verse. I goes without saying that Barney's back story is not quite the same as the show, though.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5158646/1/They_Said_It_Couldnt_Be_Done They Said It Couldn't Be Done]'' by vertigeaux

* ''Pairings'': Dr. Horrible (Billy)/Penny

* ''Synopsis'': An AU oneshot in which Penny lives to pursue a relationship with Billy, it is a superb character study while seriously addressing the question "Wouldn't that whole super villainy thing complicate matters? A little bit?"

* ''Comments'': Not quite a dark or light fic, but stunningly written either way. Equally impressive is its Gen sequel, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5164608/1/Dont_You_Know_Theres_A_War_On Don't You Know There's A War On]''.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5836481/1/No_Happy_Ending No Happy Ending]'' by Darkly Ironic

* ''Pairings'': Dr.Horrible (Billy)/Penny

* ''Synopsis'': AU from 'Slipping'. The Hero is dead, and the Villain has taken over the city. Focus on Penny as she deals with the conflicts around her.
