NGE: A Little Angel on My Shoulder, by Spacebattles
 * Recommended by: Comartemis, User:Willbyr
 * Status: Ongoing
 * Synopsis: The Angels don't completely die when an Eva kills them, instead they turn into chibified Shoulder Angels for whoever scored the kill. And as Shinji and the rest of NERV are about to discover, they're even more annoying when they can talk to you than they are when they're trying to blow you up.

Neon Genesis Self Insertion by Keith Fraser
 * Recommended by: User:Fusionmix
 * Status: Dormant
 * Synopsis/Author's Note: This fic is the result of a demented imagination (inspired by other parody writers) wondering what it would be like if the characters from works of fiction lived in their own strange little parallel universe, and were constantly being forced to star in fanfics of their original series. It is also, as should become obvious, a parody of numerous fanfiction clichés.
