This is going to be difficult limiting this to ten! I'm going to try to avoid stuff that's been nominated already, so maybe that will help. I have linked to the more obscure stuff.
Manga:
Death Note (Intricate suspense-filled plot about a boy genius who gains the power to kill off people by writing their names in a book, and the battle of wits that ensues between him and the detective trying to catch him)
Online Book Series, part way between fanfic and published book series:
Mina De Malfois series (Online series of stories parodying fandom and the people therein)
Book series:
Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy (Fabulous story exploring what happens when the Dark Lord wins. Unique magical system, gripping and enthralling plot) Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series (Steampunk supernatural series in which vampires and werewolves exist, are out and built the British Empire between them. Caught in the middle is Britain's sole preternatural who can turn the supernatural set mortal with a touch. Very funny, well worth reading.)
Books:
Kate Harrad - All Lies and Jest (In which the US has gone fundamentalist and kicked out its entire counter-culture, many of which have gone to live in a UK which is starting to go theocratic itself. One twenty-something from the West Country comes to London to find these interesting people, but ends up meeting vampire blood cults, Christian conspiracy theorists and Otherkin instead.) Sam Starbuck - Nameless (Sweet and beautiful story involving a shy newcomer in a small town and the local bookstore owner who befriends him. A bit slow-paced but I adored it. Involves masks, magic, friendship and love.)
TV Shows:
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Female-centred kids TV involving bizarrely coloured ponies. And it's brilliant.)
