*L* Yeah, I run into my share of scary Aladdin fic, so I know how you feel.

This one-shot is made of awesomeness and win: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2111317/1/Bitter

I haven't read this one yet, but it's a very promising-looking Iago-centric story: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1626846/1/The_Just_Rewards

A fic about the possibility of Mozenrath and Aladdin being related: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1097648/1/That_Was_Then_This_Is_Now

A Mozenrath vs. Aladdin fic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1285417/1/Within

Ah, I loved that fic (Bitter).

One of my favorites of all time is Celeste Goodchild's "Asylum," which can be found in this site's library. She really dug deep into Mozenrath's character in a fresh, frank, and unforgiving manner, and for once Destane is not cast as a pedophile and a rapist.

I also love Katie Ann's "Gone." It is not yet finished, but she's working on it. Wonderful characterizations and dialogue, emotional ride, enthralling plot. Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1240961/1/

I'm interested to see what responses you get as well; I used to read all the Aladdin fic I could get my hands on, but I've kind of got away from it in the past few years and would like to change that...

What stuff have you already read that you liked? Because I know you've been around for awhile too, so you've probably already read a lot of the stuff I'd suggest. Laughing

Of the relatively new stuff, what springs to mind immediately to me are VampireNaomi's fics; they've got a good mix of humor and seriousness, and if you're like me it's nice to see someone writing about less popular characters...

Cantare: When you first posted here I was actually confused for a sec and misread your named and thought you were Celeste. Laughing

I'll have to get off my lazy keister and actually review 'Bitter'. I mean, it only has seven reviews - talk about underrated! The same author who write it has some other Aladdin fics I see.

I'll also have to check out these other recs. I already have a ton of fanfiction (not just for Aladdin) that I plan on reading, so I have no clue when I'll get around to the Aladdin stuff.

Asylum was one of the first Aladdin fics I read. It totally floored me, and inspired a lot of ideas for my own Mozenrath fic Antiphony. I was so sad when I couldn't find Celeste's contact info and get in touch with her. Calluna, do you know if she's still around? I assume she left the fandom a while ago.

Well besides mine of course Smile

I had favorited the author Jill Weber and MysticMeg in the LoA

But I am just returning and haven't read any in a loooong time, so I wouldn't be able to provide you with anything new yet. If I come upon something, I'll letcha know Wink

It's been ages since I actually wrote or even read fanfiction (I haven't even finish "A Fiend in Need"). Some of it makes me cringe when I think about.

I still like the one I wrote that was pretty much a rip-off of Monty Python's "Dead Parrot Sketch".

This fic has probably been discussed elsewhere, but I just read it a few days ago and was laughing almost the entire way.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3900779/1/A_Drinking_Contest

The author is amazingly talented and knows how to write humor while keeping characters canon. Really awesome. Unfortunately he hasn't written any other Aladdin fics, but if you like FFVII or POTC maybe you can check his work in those fandoms.

Yeah! That's the one I was talking about! All you have to say is "Your sentries were scarecrows made of cheese" and Salukfan and I will start laughing

Oops, sorry I should have read earlier to see that you'd already mentioned A Drinking Contest...

Gale's fic Bitter was mentioned, but not her ongoing series "The Poles Reversed." Very good story so far, I highly recommend it! Although I believe I will be pretty torn by the probable M/J/A love triangle in the future...
