GreenandOrange, look...this is gonna be very harsh to say so you can ignore this if you want., but I'm not afraid to state my opinion on this matter.

I've read plenty of NSL fics all over the place (to the point I've kinda gotten sick of 'em), and 4 of them listed by Artistboy are honestly much better in my opinion due to a few key reasons.

1. They're alternate endings that use different paths and that really helps the stories be more original.

2. Loud Redemption IMO is NSL fics in a nutshell, so it came off as being a bit funny.

3.Entertainment's gets straight to the point about Lincoln's treatment and his family regrets their actions afterwards.

4. Circular, Drell, and Yoshi have a really nice build-up for their alt endings/extensions that really help keep a reader interested and Lincoln has some valid reasons for running off. Plus they have a decent use of side characters. I even found Muppet's to be quite interesting and have a nice ironic twist even though the story ended on a cliffhanger.

5. No offense to Thomperfan, but as I stated at one point in one of his stories, his My Version fics have seriously turned me off at this point due to the fact they don't deviate much from the actual episodes. In the beginning of his it uses the same dialogue as the episode itself which is something the reader doesn't really need to see because if they saw the episode, they aren't reading anything fresh. While it was a bit a of a nice twist that they said they just wanted some alone time and it could've happened in the episode, simply just adding your character to an already established plot doesn't help make the story any less different from the episode itself. The fact this has been done to 27 episodes doesn't help, and he even did this to the comic story Lost Control, for every, segment...

Also, I think he may have demonized Lynn a little too much. While Lincoln should've pointed out he just wanted alone time much earlier, as much as we wish we could, we can't change what happened in the episode. That's usually why most fics tend to be about what happened after said episode, or at the very least, what happened when Lincoln was locked out.

And that's just the stories listed here. I've read some pretty good ones on Fanfiction.net and deviant art (even if they did involve Lincoln getting put in the hospital, getting killed, attempting suicide, etc) but at least they were original to an extent.

This sounds like bullying to some, but honestly, we need some harsh criticism to be thrown in. I don't see it a lot here, but authors on FF.net do this frequently and it tends to help other authors.
