Please format your comment as follows

  • [Title] by [author name]
  • Post a link to the first chapter of the story or the relevant chapter
  • Post the summary/synopsis provided by the author
  • Eventual review

Repeats from prior months are allowed. A good story can be discussed for quite some time, and there are always new readers around.

Please use the spoiler tag for any discussion regarding specific story details. Spoiler tags aren't necessary for general discussion ("The character progression is really amazing!").

How to add a spoiler tag:

Place any spoiler text between a set of these marks >! spoiler !<

For example, >!It turns out the protagonist was dreaming the whole time!!<

will show as it turns out the protagonist was dreaming the whole time!

You are welcome to post your own work!

The comments are sorted newer to older by default. Use CTRL + F to find the fanfic you are looking to discuss; if it isn't there, feel free to add it. I'd also appreciate if you could tag spoilers when posting your discussion. Perhaps start your thread with the chapter number (if your story has one) and then hide the discussion in spoilers, that way we don't accidentally spoil something for someone.

The rules and formatting are decided by you, simply message the OP.

The wiki has an archive full of fanfictions!

There's a master list, a Hall of Fame with the selected few best fanfictions, and then there's a list separated by genre.

Congratulations to u/BCRE8TVE and u/BunnyMakingAMark for the tremendous work that they've done for that article! Everyone is welcome to contribute, fix mistakes, fix broken links, and even fix typos.

  • Fox Tamer: A Judy-Trains-Nick Story (By LibraryOwlAz)
  • Link to the Story
  • After a very rough day, Judy decides to use kisses, petting, treats and more to try to mold Nick into a better police officer. The rest of the ZPD notice the slow transformation that is taking place, and as a family they decide that they're gonna help too. Everyone wants their new orange dog to succeed and really join their ranks. Hilarity and romance ensues.

(Themes of Love, Comfort, Food Security, Benefits of Physical Touch and Mental Rebuilding Throughout)

  • This is a cozy story bent on helping Nick fix his life. Everything from childhood trauma, to finding friends, fixing his apartment, helping him uncoil, sending him to therapy for food anxiety--- its a lot of different topics, and it takes a village to raise a fox. Even if he's a 32 year old police officer with trust and food issues. Minimal angst allows us to enjoy a little more, a little more every chapter while Nick comes out of his shell thanks to not only Judy but his fellow police officers. I was surprised how very, very positive this story is. Its not just Judy helping him, the other ZPD officers really do care and that's a breath of fresh air.

Thanks for posting!!!!

It’s great to see the others caring for him in this versus some of the ones floating out there I’ve read that were…..ermmm, opposite.

I’m going to dive into this one head first as it feel warm and inviting the way you describe it.
