Just wanted to start a dialogue of peoples favorite Evangelion fan fics! I've been reading a few lately since there has been quite a break between the upcoming (hopefully) NTE final. Does anybody have any good suggestions? I usually go to fanfiction.net for my stories. The stories i have been reading recently are;

Evangelion: You Are(Not) Null
EVA Sessions: You Can (Never) Trust
Scar Tissue
EVA Sessions: Ten Year Piece

The Eva Sessions stories by Gob Hobblin are usually pretty good. I keep making the mistake of starting stories that aren't and probably will never be finished... But they are still entertaining none the less! Mostly wanted to see if there are any stories i should get to reading. Def intrigued by P3I stories! lets hear your opinions. If anybody knows where this has been discussed before let me know.

THANKS!

Are you looking for fics in the NTE continuity then (see my sig), or just in the NGE continuity?

Well, I'm not above recommending my own work, the links to which are located in my thread, in which I'm currently working on my own post 3I stories.

I would also recommend "The Division Bell" and "The Catalyst" by jcmoorehead, and "You Are (Not) At Fault" by MisterHalt. All those are post EoE fics available on ff.net.

I think I'll also self-advertise and recommend taking a look at any of these (hint: I'd keep it to just 2010 to present, the older stuff is...not very good). Don't know if you'll like any of them, but it's what I can offer.

As far as anything not by me? Look under the favorites tab under the above link. At least something there might catch your attention.

As long as we all shamelessly self-advertise, we can't call each other out on it.

Yeah, it should be surpassing 1,000,000 words this weekend when I release the next chapter, so it definitely is a commitment to read.

You all know me, Ghost's of Evangelion is at the top of my list. And just below that would be The 2nd Try.

Could you explain the me the format that these chapters are meant to be read? Am i supposed to start at the earliest date? or from the top of the table of contents? its a bit confusing.

Thanks!

The choice is yours, since the story was deliberately written out of order. Personally i recommend reading it via the order of the table on the main post, but you could read it chronologically if you so pleased

I started by trying to read Ghosts in chronological order, but Bags defeated that effort by continuing to add chapters at dates I'd already read past! In the end I found the written order just as satisfying.

I figured it had to be discussed somewhere already. I do know that stories keep coming though. Good to keep the list updated.

Thanks!

I’ve been involved with the story enough where it shouldn’t matter too much that the timeline keeps jumping everywhere. Are you aware of a pdf format anywhere? Would be easier to read.

No; I might make one for him one day like I did with my own. But for now having it on my server (the link you were given) with all the posts adjacent rather than mixed in with the discussion is the best option available.

Works that are finished:
-Evangelion Genocide: Extended
-Ghosts of Evangelion
-Reticence
-Orchestrating the Silence

Ongoing/unfinished works:
-Unravel
-The Lighthouse
-Neon Metathesis Evangelion
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

Strictly Ghosts isn't finished, in that Bagheera has said he may add more to it sometime; but it's gone a while without, and it covers its chronological limits satisfactorily. I suppose he might want to bring up some more psychological matters.

Do you not like Afterwards...? It's one of very few completed alternatives to Reticence as a continuation after 3.33.

There's also the "Hand Cannot Erase"/"You Must (Not) Run Away" duology by jcmoorehead that's a completed post 3.33 fic as another alternative. Very well written and does a fair bit of world building too.
