Here's an interesting thought, because it *isn't* just another 
my favorite stories thing.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what 10 fanfics would
you take with you?  A few rules:  1) No fanfic under 20 pages.
These have to *last*.  2) No series, unless it's one section
of said series.  i.e you can choose Putting Your Heart in the
Right Place, but not Sailor Moon Z.  But you can choose Part 6 
of Sailor Moon Z.

With that in mind...

SEAN'S TOP 10 DESERT ISLAND FICS:

1) Just a Dream?, by Lewis Burden (Urusei Yatsura)
    The fanfic I reread most often.  Still with few equals.  And
it's *long*, too.

2) Putting Your Heart in the Right Place, by John Biles (Ranma)
    Still the most famous "wrapup" fanfic, and Gosunkugi gets
a girlfriend!

3) Crossover, by Mark Latus (Ranma)
    I don't know why I choose these Ryouga/Nabiki fics, but I do.
Gripping and intriguing.

4) Oh My Devil Hunter, by Mark Babcock (Ah! My Goddess)
    If you're gonna have 1 AMG fic, this is it.  Good for Yokho
fans, too.

5) Mimistry of Confusion, by Stefan Gagne (Ranma)
    If you're gonna go dark, do it properly.

6) What Price for Love?, by Mike Smith and Fred Herriot (UY)
    My favorite of the excellent Classic UY series.

7) Thy Inward Love, by Richard Lawson (Ranma)
    The other big wrapup fic.  

8) Aftermath, by Matthew Trotter (Ranma)
    For the humor value.  One of the funnier fics out there.

9) Chasing the Wind, by J. Austin Wilde (Ranma)
    Assuming I like the ending.  Remember, Jamie, I'm an Ukyou
fan as well...

10) Closure, by Sean Gaffney (Ah! My Goddess)
    Because I'm a selfish bastard.

Anyone else?
