Sorry if the following news doesn't excite you as much as it does me, but this discovery had me literally jumping up and down. Quite a few years ago, I read the best Indiana Jones fanfic in existence: Indiana Jones and the Gypsy's Kiss. It was literally as good as any one of the Indiana Jones movies up until an extremely underwhelming climax. It's like...a big-budget action-adventure movie with a climax lifted from the last ten minutes of an action-adventure show from the 90's.
And the big news, which is probably big to nobody other than msyelf, is this: I just now noticed that the author - primate - has another Indiana Jones fanfic up on his fanfiction.net account. Indiana Jones and the Sunken Continent!
The author's note doesn't look all that promising, but with my memories of how amazingly good Gypsy's Kiss was (with the exception of the last one or two chapters), I'll be damned if I don't get started on this one. Anyone who loves the Indiana Jones movies and wants to read more adventures about your favorite globe-trotting, bloody-knuckled archeologist owes it to him/herself to give either one of those fanfics a try.
Just keep in mind you'll need to lower your expectations for the finale of Gypsy's Kiss. Sunken Continent looks like it's the other way around: lowering of standards occurs during the first 46 or 47 chapters. We're talking a few notches below Star-Wars-Episode-IX-started-filming levels of expectations, though not for the same reasons.
