Fan Fiction Reviews

Death Note: Ryuk Returns

Overall, a good plot. I like the creativity and concept behind it even though I only read the first two chapters. However, personally, I didn't find the fact that Scout (main character) who had just found the Death Note would use it immediately to save her life, all that believeable. Although I can slightly understand as to why the author chose that particular path as it would be quite difficult to incorporate otherwise.

Death Note: Future Note

Loved it. Very compelling work. I actually wanted to read the entire fanfic even though it was written only up to the fifth chapter. I liked the fact that it was split up into different parts. For example, the relationships between Near & Matsuda, Inuyasha & Mysc, as well as the other Shinigami (Reapers). But, keeping the story intact and making each part connect in some way.

Hana Kimi: Repetitive History

Good relations between the title “Repetitive History” and the main topic of conversation Alexander the Great. Although I did feel some of the information given was unnecessary. Writing style was good, easy to read etc. But, even though it was a manga that I enjoyed, this fanfic wasn’t one of my favourites.

Inglourious Basterds: Falling Over You

Overall, this is an interesting twist to the original movie. The story revolves around Shosanna Dreyfus, a Jew who had escaped from the wrath of the Nazi’s. It centres around the time that Shosanna kills Frederick and Hitler and co. It does kind of leave the reader hanging, but in a good way. Leaves it pretty much open for interpretation. But because the fanfic is really short, there isn’t much new information (i.e. creativity) in my opinion.

Pan’s Labyrinth: Tides

I enjoyed this fanfiction a lot. It was a pairing type fanfic, which I was a bit hesitant prior to reading, but the story was tastefully done, very well written and finished perfectly.

Kill Bill: Kill Pai Mei

Really enjoyed this fan fic. It revolves around Elle Driver at the time she killed Kung-Fu Master Pai Mei by means of poison. Gives more insight into what she was thinking at that time. The details were great, it actually felt like it could have been part of the original story.

Secret Window: Not My Fault

Even though it was “a short take on Mort Rainey’s thoughts,” it did explain his character fairly well. Because it was written from Mort’s point of view, considering he is a psychopath who had killed his ex-wife and her husband (not to mention the few townspeople who got in the way), it was ‘jumpy’ and confusing, which I guess, he may have been feeling at the time. But, I’m not sure whether it was intentional, it kind of felt like the author just decided to write something, anything really. But overall, not a bad fan fic.

X-Men - The Movie: Pyro, Iceman and STD's

A nice, short and humurous story. unlike the movies and comics, it shows an ordinary day (or days) in the life of an X-Man (Pyro & Iceman). I personally think it was well written and thought it was very descriptive.

Pulp Fiction: Bring Out The Gimp

Wow. Just wow. And not in a good way. I don't know if this was badly written on purpose for effect but I could barely understand what was going on. There was absolutely no punctuation. Everything seemed to have been written for the sake of filling space. So many grammatical errors, not to mention spelling. Love Pulp Fiction the film, this, I don't.

Pulp Fiction: Don't Go There, Vince

Not a bad fanfic. I liked the writing style that was used. Spelling, punctuation, grammar was all well presented. The story was okay. I felt that nothing 'new' or 'creative' was introduced. Although, this is only the first chapter so it may continue to 'flourish.' But everything in this fanfic had been explained or shown already in the movie. Overall, I was quite disappointed at how few Pulp Fiction fanfics there were.

AHH! Finally done. These are my ten fan fiction reviews! :)
