Proof that [[Sturgeon's Law|the remaining 10% is worth dying for]] here:
 
These are recommendations made by [[Troper|Tropers]]s for ''[[Veronica Mars]]'', all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''[[Zapped (wiki)]]'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. 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.
 
Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[Better Than Canon|non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, [[Shipping]] is [[Serious Business]].
Line 29:
* ''Synopsis'': "My name is [[Veronica Mars]]. High school student, girl detective, and ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fan. And I know ''everything that's going to happen for the next six years''."
* ''Comments'': [[Luc]]: A ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' / ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fusion that is almost indescribable due to the brilliant twists it takes.
** [[Scifantasy]]: I'll give it a whirl. The one mental hurdle is that Veronica is a huge ''Buffy'' fan, and pretty much up on every controversy, fandom characterization, and plot hole. I had a bit of trouble with that, but once you get past it, the fic is brilliant--howbrilliant—how the ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' characters integrate into Sunnydale, how the ''[[Buffy]]'' characters react to the Neptune imports, and how Veronica has to once again solve the mysteries of her rape and Lilly Kane's death, this time knowing the answer but needing to go through all the steps.

Line 55:
* ''Synopsis'': Aaron Echolls died, killed at his Christmas party by a jealous ex-lover. What happened next?
* "Pairings": Veronica/Logan
* ''Comments'': [[Scifantasy]]: Yes, this is the same Mediancat above listed for "Martian Manhunter." As far as I can tell, this was his first foray into long-form (and I do mean ''long''--66—66 chapters, more than 100,000 words--butwords—but it's worth it) ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' storytelling. The use of a [[Butterfly of Doom]] is well executed; one slight difference, here a security guard who keeps Keith from getting to Aaron in time to save him in "An Echolls Family Christmas," and everything changes. As with "Manhunter," Mediancat takes the same facts of the episodes and spins them out, asking how the characters who have been changed would react. Highly recommended, also complete.
