These are recommendations made by tropers for {{Fan Fic}}s, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''{{zapped}}'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexually explicit or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* Recommend by Melinda
* ''Status:''' Complete
* Synopsis: A FixFic of sorts combing plot elements and characters from both movies. Here, before Garry can shoot Lars (in his pursuit of the sled dog) [=McReady=] knocks out the Norwegian with a bottle of scotch. They then listen to their prisoners story, at first skeptically, but then they find reasons to believe it (along with a certain American scientist in a nearby Sno-Cat) and with this new influx of knowledge, the fight gets a little more even.
* ''Comments:'' The story does an impressive job of capturing the feel of most, if not all of the characters as the movies depicted them.

* ''Synopsis'': A mock field guide including artist impressions, in this case the alien morphing from husky into its natural form.

* ''Synopsis'': [[CaptainObvious Eywa finds true love in the form of an assimilatory alien organism.]]

* Tags: Crackfic, Darkfic (it's humorous in tone, but it contains quite a lot of FridgeHorror and potentially terrifying descriptions), Yuri

''FanFic/UnfinishedBusiness'': An optimistic continuation of both the Carpenter film and the prequel centred around the survivors teaming up with a Russian expedition team to destroy the Thing once and for all.

* ''Comments'': Has an entry on the creature from ''Literature/WhoGoesThere?'', with an artist's impression of the monster that is arguably more scary than the one in ''The Thing''.
