I use people's favourites to find new stories. If you've come here to do the same, other recommended "web-fiction" not in my favourites include (fanfiction.net doesn't like my links so some may be missing):

Mother of Learning by nobody103 over on fictionpress

Zorian, a mage in training, only wanted to finish his education in peace. Now he struggles to find answers as he finds himself repeatedly reliving the same month. 'Groundhog's day' style setup in a fantasy world.

- My favourite story (favourite in its original meaning rather than as a category on this website).

webfictionguide dot com (webfiction guide [if links have been removed]) is useful for finding good non-fanfic web-fiction and has some handy keywords to search by.

I use bloxp to convert web-fiction from blogs such as wordpress into ebook files for mobile reading (google it, its awesome but doesn't work on everything) and the FanFicFare plugin for Calibre to do the same thing for most fanfiction websites, including this one. Wattpad is a special flower and doesn't let you read the stories there offline unless you have a smartphone with their free app.

I've an irrationally strong dislike for the word 'anyways', the phrase 'and such' and the incorrect use of the word 'myself' in a sentence. I am not a writer and probably a hypocrite.
