(Part 3) Best products from r/hfy

The Peace Warrior trilogy by Stephen Hawk is my recommendation. The first one is now free, but the other two are, in my opinion, well woth the eight bucks.

It's adorable! But I was thinking of something like this:

The only thing I've had published so far was a flash-fiction I wrote for a charity compilation called "SuperHERo Tales", profits from which go towards a girls' education charity.

A couple of Meta posts: List of good fantasy hfy stories and Request for 'thrown into fantasy' subgenre and Fantasy is welcome, but where is it?

ones listed therein:

• A World Away from Yesterday - no magic, but the main character finds himself transported to another world inhabited by a relatively medieval species. It's ongoing at the moment with much more to come but what's there so far should tide you over for a bit.
  
• The Bathroom Adventures - not at all serious
  
• Burning/Building of Ashenvale - Novel length.
  
• A Heros War - Morey is summoned to a fantasy world under siege by the forces of darkness, called a Hero by the natives. Unknown to them, they got two 'Heroes' for the price of one. Dumped into a strange and dangerous fantasy world, Cato struggles to find out what happened to him and where he is. And perhaps there are advantages to not being a Hero. And perhaps not all the legends are true...
  
• JaketheSnakeBakeCake's Guide to Promt Jumping - Novel length. (also check out his Snake Report story, a bit different but still well received)
  
• Harry Potter and the Nat 20 - Milo, a genre-savvy D&D Wizard and Adventurer Extraordinaire is forced to attend Hogwarts, and soon finds himself plunged into a new adventure of magic, mad old Wizards, metagaming, misunderstandings, and munchkinry. Novel length
  
• the webcomic Erfworld
  
• Blessed are the Simple - basically Zero no Tsukima if Master Chief was the one summoned. Novel length.
  
• Blessed are the Simple: Lords of the Red Star - a spinoff set in the same universe written by a different author... possibly discontinued
  
• Release that Witch - An engineer takes over the body of a worthless prince and tries to introduce industrialization. Novel length.
  
• Stranded in Fantasy copied over 4Chan story. Novel length.
  
• I love this story - A man gets thrown into an alternate world after what was supposed to a harrowing escape from death. Follow him as he uses his knowledge from his previous life of research to adapt and survive in a place that is void of human contact, only to find out later how absurdly ridiculous his abilities are. Journey alongside this man as he attempts to change the new world for a better place, to turn it into one that he loves. Novel length.
  
  
• Spellslinger Series by RegalLegalEagle - he's not stranded in fantasy, but aside from that it's a lot like OTHNGW
  
  Published books, try: (Lol, all of these are "Novel Length")
  
  
• Schooled in Magic - this has a remarkably similar feel, but is less HFY more general fantasy (all the major characters are human)
  
• The Warslayer - think "Galaxy Quest goes fantasy"
  
• Centaur of the Crime - a crime scene analyst is kidnapped to solve a fantasy world murder
  
• 1632 - not into a fantasy world (or necessarily HFY) but a modern Appalachian town is suddenly transported to Germany, the year 1632AD
  
• Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality - Harry Potter fanfic, where he applies the scientific method to magic (complete with the occasional explosion...) (not necessarily HFY, but...) - Personally recommended by the author of OTHNGW
  
• Critical Failures - D&D group gets magicked into their game
  
• Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere
  
• Poul Anderson's Three Hearts and Three Lions
  
• Dresden Files - It mostly deals with the supernatural, humans are generally seen as a prey species, but most of the denizens are secretly afraid of humanity.
  
• The Wiz Biz - a programmer gets summoned into a fantasy realm.
  
• Nightlord: Sunset starts off with this premise, although the main character got turned into a vampire before getting stranded in fantasy, so it's not necessarily HFY... still a fun read though
  
• The Soprano Sorceress also not necessarily HFY, still fun. A down on her luck singer gets transported to a world where music is magic, and tries to bring the world at least a little bit into the modern age
  
  More general fantasy:
  
  
• The Forest - now actually a published work, but still up for your enjoyment. Novel length.
  
• The Demon Hunter Series (as well as several of this author's other works) probably *Novel length** by now.
  
• My Name isn't Bon Bon Series - finished, if you like atmosphere more than any idea of what's going on - FINISHED
  
• Orcish Blood Series - closer to standard fare for fantasy
  
• Empire Series
  
• The Hero Series
  
• The Gardener - One shot.
  
• Mage - One shot.
  
• The Curious creature One shot.
  
• On the nature of warfare - One shot.
  
• survivor wanderers and Wanderers ashes - There's a host of others, but /u/Meatfcker writes tasty things.
  
• /u/Radius55 did a 'what happens when fantasy bad guys meets modern humanity'- you can find it in his history.
  
• /u/Haenir has some several such things.
  
• No Magic Required - One shot.
  
• Our Lack hereof - One shot.
  
• WP: Alien Battles and the series 501st Mind Games that came from it
  
• Steve Irwin's Fantasy Adventure - One shot.
  
• Bloodrunners Series - a guy who was a delivery man for the underworld which consisted of goblins, vampires and other creatures.
  
• Who the Hell are You - (sort of the fantasy equivalent of the Veil of Madness). Humans are "magic sinks" and thus are able to live in the dangerously magically charged forest at the edge of elf civilization. The current elf government has been going all Third Reich on non-elves and non-high-elves for a while now. The humans know this and proceed with caution, before getting Allies and setting up beachheads. ^(sorry, I'll stop with the WW2 references now) :) we're also the only ones who invented dogs, and dey scary man.
  
• Steel and Sarcasm - a long buried human space ship is unburied, and the resident AI/kickass power suit personality adopts the human who found her and they proceed to fuck things up. (Her long time alone has led to some... interesting personality quirks, thus the "Sarcasm")
  
• Swords of Te'ra was fun.
  
• Red Blood Series - Every other species in the galaxy lives in a perpetual high fantasy state due to magic being the handwavium of the setting. Humans, by contrast are non-magical, but are so inherently toxic to magical systems (due to the iron content of their blood and equipment) that the very ground dies where they walks, and our blood is basically xenomorph blood. Sci-fi humans meets high fantasy everything else.
  
• All Sapiens Go To Heaven Series - a human wakes up in Hell and is dissatisfied with the service

\> use of the word cuck

\> what exactly is a 'real man'

I provided links, do you really want me to copy and paste entire articles here?

\> what's so unnecessary about promoting lgbt people

99% of the time in fiction, LGBT is promoted just for the sake of promoting it. That's called propaganda, and it hurts the story--especially now that it's been done to death.

Some books, like Freedom City, are far more sexually exploratory than just about all other fiction, but in that book it always helps the story. If you don't see what I'm talking about ... then ... I guess that's what I wanted to know. Do folks here see it?

Couldn't find the post but apparently, the post inspired a book and I'm assuming it has at least some of the stories that were posted.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074N1R65F/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

I'm still looking for the post but the title of the book is the same as the post. Humans Wanted

Not exactly that but on the topic of religious aliens coming to Earth and finding mixed receptions and having mixed reactions from/to various people Ingathering: The Complete People Stories by Zenna Henderson is a very enjoyable read.

I would recommend checking out the book "The Case for Mars" by Robert Zubrin. In it he covers how we could begin to colonize mars within 10 years.

I would recommend reading it or listening to the audio book

Yeah someone else just asked. It really is super shit to find, I also only know about it because Amazon recommended it.

Rise of the Empire book 1, Olympus

https://www.amazon.ca/Alien-Pets-Denise-Little/dp/0886778220

I loved this book when I was young. Read it to itty bitty bits.

Use whatever makes the most dramatic and compelling story, and whatever reinforces the narrative itself. I'd probably start with throwing the reader into the middle and fill in the background as the main story progresses. For example, how Paolo Bacigalupi builds the setting in The Windup Girl or John Scalzi allows the setting to unfold in the background of Old Man's War.

You can always go back and write prequels, first contact stories, and the like afterward. Remember, Tolkien didn't start with the Simarillion either- he just threw the reader into the setting.

The question however is this: who's your target audience? Adults or young adults? If you can get an illustrator like Drachen to work with you (cause damn he's good), That would be something to consider in and of itself.

Thank you!

I think that for German Amazon there should be just another link.

Does this work? https://www.amazon.de/Last-Time-Loop-Rebellion-English-ebook/dp/B07WTW984V/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=the+last+time+loop&qid=1574448449&sr=8-1

Do you have any plans to add some of the lesser known/connected Jverse entries? Guttersnipe by /u/Crocodilly_Pontifex, Stranded by /u/Exotic_fish, Silence and Ravenous by /u/Mister-Book, and any others I may have missed could make a cool collection of side stories like this. Provided, of course, that /u/Hambone3110 approves.

I'll need to look those up. Also fun is The Human Chronicles by T.R. Harris. I really like Part I, but Part II is too God Mode Sue for me.

So,you need THIS next time you see him. :)

Kinda reminds me a little of What I've Become

I hope there's going to be more of this.

It took some effort but I managed to track down the title of the book: "Society of the Mind: A Cyberthriller". The MC is a female psychologist that goes to check out the standard billionaire recluse on his own island, only to find everything automated. Her client being one of his AI's. Bit of a spoiler, but there are 2 AI's, one that simply does as it's asked, and one that does what it wants. It's worth the read IMO https://www.amazon.com/Society-Mind-Eric-L-Harry/dp/0786756152

The Human Chronicles by T.R. Harris is about as HFY as you can get

https://www.amazon.com/What-Become-Humanity-Within-Book-ebook/dp/B07JK65325

It's adapted from a fanfiction that is a bit further along.
