These are recommendations made by [[Troper
Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found below. Make sure you sign your recommendation! ''No-name recommendations may be deleted at other tropers' leisure.'' Do warn when a fanfic includes sexual situations.<ref>please note this includes all sexual activity, not just homosexual or bisexual, including het.</ref> Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, [[Shipping]] is [[Serious Business]]. Likewise, warn if it may head into [[Better Than Canon|non-canon]] territory.
Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

* Recommended by dompeace23
* ''Synopsis'': Cave Story/Earthbound crossover in which Ness and Co. are warped to the Cave Story universe during the final battle with Giygas due to a mistake on Pokey's part. Now they must work together to save both universes.
* ''Comments'': Interesting concept. Above average writing and neatly utilizes the original game dialog. Features plenty of quality action. A great read.
''[[Fobbies Are Borange]]'' by Stephen Georg (xfisjmg1), Martin Tovar (matilda_caboose), Benjamin Carignan (Katon), Lewahi, and Chaz Estell (BlackLeader)
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': Technically a fan ''radio play'', but still. Retells the story of ''Earthbound'' by adding some rather demented [[Character Development]] (or undevelopment, in the case of Jeff) to the otherwise [[Heroic Mime]] characters and some bizarre subplots involving sweet tea.
* ''Comments'': Considered by many to be the most epic undertaking by the fandom; formerly preformed live over [http://starmen.net/radio/ Radio PSI].
''[[The Chosen Four]]'' [http://starmen.net/comics/series/chosenfour/ by Darrow]
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'' - A fanmade comic adaptation of ''Earthbound''.
* ''Comments:'' Absolutely ''phenominal'' execution. It's every bit as funny, strange, and at times scary as the game, with tons of [[Adaptation Expansion]] and pretty much no [[Adaptation Decay]]. As of this writing still in progress - you can follow the forum thread and get some very interesting author's notes [http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Fan/Forum/48624/page/1/ here].
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6570845/1/Existing_and_Exiting Existing and Exiting]'' by ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/174358/The_Exile The Exile]''
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': Giygas is defeated but Poo does not return to his body and nobody knows how to bring him back. Poo had never really understood the purpose of his Mu training until now.
* ''Comments'': A really interesting idea. Expands a little bit on the universe without turning [[Grimdark]], like some of the fanwork tends to turn. I personally don't care for how Poo is characterized, but the idea makes up for it. {{spoiler|Also, an interesting take on the origin of the Absolutely Safe Capsule.}}
Line 55:
''[http://www.romhacking.net/community/1526/ The Author]''
* Recommended by Inyarear
* ''Synopsis'': This is mostly the same story as the original, but now with the girl heading up the party and the boy as her second. (Also, the Dalaamese Prince from [[
* ''Comments'': The Author himself serves as a kind of [[Marty Stu]] narrator in a few areas, but never makes any physical appearance in the game; it also portrays The Player (you) as a kind of [[Mary Sue]] and itself as a kind of [[Self-Insert Fic]] (which arguably applies to almost ''any'' RPG). Play for a bit of ego-stroking, stay for some rather interesting insights on [[God]], destiny, free will, religion, and how to pronounce Giygas' name. {{spoiler|That would be "Gee-eye-gus" if this game is to be believed.}}
