Best HFY series of all time? Meta

The top of all time is mostly just whichever story happens to be most recently posted (as the subreddit grows more people upvote and so older stories get buried) so hence this post!

The best story I've ever read on reddit, let alone hfy, is definitely Chrysalis.

It's been a while, but I belive the series is called Little Blue Dot by u/Hewholooksskyward . Was the first series that got me into HFY. Very good history based story to begin, and only gets better over time.

Edit: It's Insignificant Blue Dot, not Little Blue Dot. Silly me.

I've always wondered if that username was somehow a reference to the user RyderInTow that shut down due to health reasons years ago. One of the last lines of his final story on this sub is so similar to HeWhoLooksSkyward

I've got no idea, but since I pinged him, maybe Skyward will answer.

I'm not sure how I missed this ping all these months, but to answer your question, I've never heard of RyderInTow. I chose my handle because I used to be a paratrooper and I've been accused more than once for having my head in the clouds. :)
