Ominitraxus: Are you sure its a good idea to break an episode in half to speak up?
WH: Nope, but I'm gonna do it anyways. *Ahem* People as of the posting of this chapter Star vs The Forces of Evil has just had its series finale and I have seen every single episode. Honestly looking back on it this was a WELL above average show, except for the Love Triangle Ship War nonsense from season three and four, especially the first third of season four. Regardless I'm not sad it's going, I'm happy that it even existed in the first place. After all without it, this story would never have existed and I would have never met any of you in the first place. :) Now for those of you looking to fill in the void of Star vs. with fanfictions, well mine is good but perhaps you want a bit of variety and stuff to tide you over until I post again. So for now here are my personal favorite Star vs. fanfictions.
Light of the Sun and Stars: A complete AU that is action packed, funny, original, sweet, and even doesn't skimp on the dark stuff as in this one Marco was raised by Monsters originally who were under the thumb of Toffee, yes I'm ok with him being just the bad guy, until one day he was broken out and met with Star Butterfly. She has to rule the kingdom while her parents fight a losing war with the Monsters. A definite 9.5/10.
Moon and Star vs the force of evil: I love the first part of this story, even being able to overlook the love triangle, but I'm a bit unsure of the second part. I mean its not just the way the story is going, which is questionable, but my GOD does it get slow. I mean I get what he's trying to do with the story but this is so slow its painful. And what's more I suspect he's not really going to begin writing it again in a while. But skipping the second part and the first chapter, which is just him ranting about what he hates in the canon show, it is a really good and original story with plenty of humor and world building for a world where Moon and Star are actually twin sisters instead of Mother and Daughter. 1st part is a 8.5/10 but the rest lowers it to a 6/10. Really good for your own fanfic ideas however.
My Cadence: A smut oneshot I just can't overlook this one simply because of how SWEET it is. It is excellent in the erotica department and does a fantastic job of establishing character in such a short period of time for the five characters you do see, despite it bashing on Tom a bit even though if he hadn't developed character-wise it would have made sense in canon. When you look at these characters you see the people you know and love from the show done well in this AU where Marco is Star's bodyguard in Mewni instead of her guide on earth. 10/10 no questions asked.
Star and Marcia Vs The Forces of Evil: How did I not know of this story until just one month ago? An Au where just Marco is gender swapped into being a girl and follows to original show closely. This original concept changes just one thing initially but like my work it explores what could happen with just that one change. It follows the show closely, too closely for some people probably, but the few times it does divert from canon it is original and some of the best writing in the story; and what's more the amount of it is increasing as time goes by. However this show follows Marcia's perspective almost exclusively for better or for worse; mostly for better though. Honestly though the best part is the shipping of Tom x Marcia, can't wait to see that take center stage eventually. A solid 8.5/10 through and through.
Echoes of Screams: By all accounts I should hate the fanfic as it is just another depressing story meant to make you feel 'sorry' for the main characters as life shows no mercy to them in horrific ways (rated M for a reason). But... this one succeeds where others have failed simply because it takes the time to flesh out the characters and shows that good things can happen to them in this dark world giving us genuine hope for them. The relationship between Star and Marco in this AU is perfect and its also one of the few where Toffee is a good guy actually helping them out when the going gets tough at one point. A decent 8/10, be warned it is a bit cringy at times so use caution.
The Royal Protector: I know a bit cliche to post this one but how could I not, this is one that EVERYONE talks about and I can see why. This is the BEST AU about Star being sent to St. Olga's and the impacts it has on everyone in the show. It also, while showing Toffee as the bad guy, puts him in a sympathetic light like he's an Anti-Villain instead of just a straight villain. River is actually depicted in a good light as well, actually giving the man some dignity and a sense of responsibility instead of just making him a man-child. Everyone in this AU is fleshed out well and even the World-Building is AMAZING to the point where I wished this was what the actual canon world was like until I came up with my own. A definite 9/10 for the win.
One Shots, Premises, and Request Delivery: A bit unusual as this one is basically a collection of story ideas and one-shots created by the now gone the17thcolossus. This one is hit and miss but the hits are fantastic and the misses are usually passable enough to overlook. This is a FANTASTIC place to get ideas for your own stories and I'm kind of sad this one did not write more complete stories with some of these ideas. Oh and he is a JannaxMarco shipper so if you want some of that this is the place to look for it. The final one shot is actually very clever in making itself the final one to the point where I am not gonna tell you a thing about it. Check out this strangely unrateable piece of work and rate for yourself if you can.
Also as of this point I am going to be posting several short stories that go along with 'Star the Monster Princess' but are not vital for the plot so they are being kept separate because they are too extensive to be a single episode. They will be listed as they are being posted starting with 'Dorks and Dragons' description pending. Oneshots are also coming back at long last starting with 'Solaria's Monster Annihilation Techniques' to flesh out the section Marco read in the book of spells a bit more. Why, because I want to.
Enjoy your day and remember, the show never truly ends as long as there are people like us to keep it going!
