Line 2:
Proof that [[Sturgeon's Law|the remaining 10% is worth dying for]] here.
These are recommendations made by [[Troper
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.
Line 32:
* Recommended by [[Gattsuru]]
* ''Synopsis'': Fairly long [[Fix Fic]] set after the events of the film, bringing back and giving a [[Heel Face Turn]] to Tai Lung, just in time to fight off an attacking horde lead by the man who made Tai Lung a [[Door Step Baby]] and sliced apart Tai Lung's father.
* ''Comments'': Completed story. Shipping content features in some chapters, mostly between canon/non-canon characters or Snake/Crane, but is not focus of stories. Slightly [[Dark Fic]], or at least [[Darker and Edgier]] than the original [[Never Say "Die"]] storyline. Falls into a lot of common fanfic traps, like adding a wide variety of [[Satellite Character|satellite characters]], pulling extra legendary warrior statuses out of thin air, having [[Heel Face Turn
** One thing to note: while it may seem like pulling legendary warrior statuses out of thin air, the author has actually done her research well: {{spoiler|the Dragon and the Phoenix have always been traditionally paired in Chinese mythology, and in fact are used to symbolize the Emperor and the Empire respectively.}} With Tai Lung's knowledge of the scrolls and his overall prowess as a warrior, it makes a lot of sense he would earn this position, particularly with all the ways he acts as a [[Foil]] to Po. Even if this seems like a bit too much to swallow for the snow leopard, it would not surprise this troper at all to see a warrior status like this appearing in one of the movie's sequels (obviously as someone else). The author is also currently working on a sequel, {{spoiler|"Soaring Dragon, Dancing Phoenix"}} which is doing an admirable job of both explaining the warrior's powers and role and also making it seem much less like a random [[Rule of Cool]] insertion.
Line 65:
* Recommended by [[Tropers/Anything Goes|Anything Goes]]
* ''Synopsis'': A compendium of short backstories, oneshots and novelizations on the different characters from Kung Fu Panda.
* ''Comments'': Genres vary in this fic, but [[Angst]] seems to be the main theme. Each chapter concentrates on one character and is written in a rather abstract style, giving much more depth to the more obscure Masters and characters of the movie, most of whom are possibly [[Advertised Extra
