okay, here's my two cents' worth of links to good reading:
-
http://www.ewp.org - deserves a place here because it's from there that I jumped to the Firestaff page. Besides, compared to other stuff out there, this is actually fairly decent writing - for pr0n. Hey, what can I say, I'm in touch with my inner pervert.
-
http://www.eyrie.net - 'Eyrie Productions Unlimited' - fanfiction. Mostly Self-insertion fanfiction. _Good_ self-insertion fanfiction. I know, I know, it's hated and despised and whatnot ... to frood with it, this is _still_ one of _the_ best places to find actual quality writing out there. And a hell of a lot of writing at that. Featuring series such as their trademark megacrossover 'Undocumented Features', as well as such fics as 'Gods Willing', 'Warrior's Legacy', 'Neon Exodus Evangelion'(try it, you'll like it), '.45 Caliber Angel' and so on ... The general consensus regarding Eyrie stuff is that you either love it or hate it. There is no such thing as a middle ground. So speaks a fan(atic) of their. If you find yourself liking their writings, you can scratch a week and change from your calendar. That's how long it'll take you to go through all the stuff that's here. If not longer.

http://www.rakhal.com/florestica/index.html - 'Lost Library of Florestica' - another fanfiction page. Good stories by various authors there, mostly anime fanfic though. The few original pieces, if you can find them, are nice as well. Yes, this is also a shameless plug of sorts. *shrug* hey, I have no shame.
-
http://www.baen.com/library/ - you probably know this already, but what the hell. Free books by Weber, Lackley, Flint, and so on.
-
http://www.pixelscapes.com/twoflower/ - yes, yes. I know. You're getting sick of me pointing you towards anime fanfic. But trust me on this one. Any NWN players here will probably recognize Stefan Gagne as the guy who brought us the Penultima series of mods, among other things. This page has links to his written works. A great big honkin' Slayers multipart - three books in all - which has multiple ROTFL moments. Links to his original works - _READ_THEM_ - highly addictive, and enough stuff to keep you interested for a few days too. Personally, I love this guy's writing style.
-
http://www.centragarden.net - home of _THE_ best FFVIII story out there, in this one's not so humble opinion. Again, lots of reading here.
... hmm, I'll stop for now. That's enough to keep an interested person busy for a while. Hmm ... shall I start listing webcomics now?
