[THE LIST] She got the recipe for the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster from Ford Prefect · 6:24pm Sep 18th, 2019
Note: Yes, I broke from the voted-on list I had set up, but I just finished reading this fic and was shocked that it had been receiving fewer views than nearly ALL the fics I'd highlighted on my list thus far. That cannot stand.
This list is not about my favorite stories of all time. That's my favorites list and one of these days I may get around to writing reviews of those fics.
The List is about stand-out, in-progress works that deserve more love, for whatever reason. In addition to general reviews of the fics, these blog posts will tell why I picked a particular story and highlight any features the reader should look out for. Spoilers will be appropriately marked, so you'll be able to read my reviews with confidence that you'll be able to read the story itself and experience the same surprise and delight I did when I first found it.
Also, authors and fans of works will be able to submit stories. Your particular selection may not make it onto the list, and the more information you give me for why you think it should be featured, the more likely I'll be to read and post it. To submit a fiction, simply PM me through FiMFiction's link on my profile.
The list can be found here: Princess Columbia's List
Premise
Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name you can just get away from it all and perhaps enjoy an alcoholic beverage. Sunset Shimmer is your girl, and her bar, "Sunset's Isekai" is there for anyone in the multiverse that just needs a break.
Princess Columbia's Synopsis
While this would appear to be just an interesting take on the now-cliche'd trope of the Isekai, there's more going on that's just sorta being hinted at in Wanderer D's signature style.
Why am I highlighting this fic?
The Isekai has become a trope so fast and become so popular that it's probably unfairly categorized as "not quite as bad as the coffee shop AU." This story manages to avoid a lot of the more hobbling tropes by having the focus of the story be around Sunset Shimmer and having the characters from other stories come along to influence her even more than she influences them.
...and it's not a SciSet ship, but I'll let it slide...
...this time...
...I'm watching you, Wander D! You're on thin ice, buddy!
Sci~i~i-Se~e~et!!!
What makes this fic particularly good?
If the mixing of genres AND I.P.'s wasn't enough, it's a fantasticly written story where each chapter can be taken on it's own...but you're rewarded for sticking through the whole thing.
Who would like this fic?
Fans of Wanderer D's works, of course. Also, if you enjoyed anime like "Restaurant to Another World," this fic will be right up your alley.
Does the author monetize?2
Yes! You can throw money at them through their Patreon or buy them a coffee.
- Endorsement on Princess Columbia's List is an endorsement of the selected work of fiction only and is not intended to endorse the creator of the work in any other way.
- Why highlight whether the author monetizes their work? By providing renumeration to the author, you often get the opportunity to request certain works be given higher priority. Additionally, when a person is able to get paid for their passion on their terms, it can often allow them to cut out things that otherwise distract from said passion, like a day job.

I'm a sucker for anything that functions on a multiversal scale. This is a great example of how to have fun with probability space.
Hey! Thank you for this!
Glad you're enjoying the story!
Anything D writes is a joy to read.
