What have we here...?

Check out the favourites sections, and the bookshelves. If it's made it onto one of my shelves you can guarantee it's got something about it and is worth a read.

Lasairfion's Favourites
Here reside all my favourited stories. The list was fairly fluid until the addition of a working 'Tracking' bookshelf which now precludes me having to favourite stories I want to track only. So if it's still on my favourites list, then you know it's actually a firm favourite. I've also dropped some that I like a lot but aren't absolute favourites into other bookshelves.
Epic Stories
I love an epic masterpiece of a story. This doesn't just mean length; if it has complex characters, themes and multiple plot threads then that counts too. This shelf is for my favourite stories of epic proportions. If you've got some serious time to spend, take a look at one of these.
Existential Matters
Looking at the heart of who a character is, how they react to adversity... what makes them tick when it's down to brass tacks. These stories answer the hard questions, or ask more.
The Darkness
Everything has it's opposite: light and darkness, pleasure and pain, sickness and health... It is through the hard times that we come to know and understand the good ones. Caveat Lector! (Reader Beware!)
Comedy & Heartwarming
Feeling down, need a laugh or just need some of the warm and fuzzies? These are the best I've found on FIMFiction; guaranteed to lift your spirits or get your giggle on.
Adventure
Adventure stories, pure and simple! Not quite epic enough to get into the epic list, but a decent story with some twists, turns and good character development.

Somehow your profile picture reminds me of the art style in Danganronpa series.
I'm a bit late with this, but thanks for taking an interest in It Doesn't Matter Now. I'm glad to see you found it heartwarming; it's most definitely supposed to be a happy story, despite its setting!
Thanks for your interest in The Mare in the High Castle!
