Fanfiction Reviews

Moment Like This

I am at heart a Gleek and felt that this fanfic did justice to the TV show. While it is cliche and seems like an everyday Finn and Rachel scenario it also adds realism to the fanfic and makes the scenarios described seem like they could possibly brought to life in the show. This fanfic described the loving and passionate extent of the "Finchel" relationship and despite the many obstacles they may encounter they will always love each other no matter what. It talks about how Rachel is covered in blue slushy because of the bullying that occurs at McKinley, due to the fit that she is in the Glee club and is considered an outsider because of this. Finn is their to aid her and are for her while faces the difficulties of being a social outcast. He assure her that he will always be here for her no matter what.

While i enjoyed reading this it though that some of the language use in they fanfic might not have been the most suitable for certain characters. For example Finn swearing is not realistic because while the show is rated PG it is also not in Finns character to swear . He is a calm,gentle and compassionate character and has the ability to get angry however I personally could not see the writers introducing swearing into his dialogue because it goes against his nature and how they have portrayed hi from the beginning. So i felt the writer should have thought about the language and how the character may react to certain situations before including the swearing into the fanfic.

The Ugly Truth

I generally enjoy revenge as a TV show because I believe the plot, setting, characters and dialogue of the show is well thought out and expressed. When I read this I remembered that I myself remember  thinking about this possibility of Charlotte being the love child child between Victoria Grayson and David Clarke. In this fan fiction the writer has produced a full dialogue of conversation between Victoria and Charlotte . She explains to Charlotte that the video that was exposed at the fundraiser was personal and a complete mistake. Charlotte confronts her mother about why she mentioned to her therapist that she wishes Charlotte was never born. Victoria uses the fact that she doesn't want Charlotte to know about her illicit affair with David Clarke to cover herself . She accuses David of rape and explains to Charlotte that that was the reason that she said she wishes Charlotte was never born.

If you find Revenge as interesting as I do and would dare to watch ahead then you would find that a scenario similar to this one does actually occur. When Conrad and Victoria decide that it would be beneficial to split after all the drama in the family . However the scenario thats occurs in the TV show involves Victoria explaining to Daniel that she was supposedly raped by David Clarke. I thought thus fan fiction was very interesting. Not only because I love Revenge as a TV show but because it was realistic and does show that the writer understands the character and the plot of the TV show well enough to create duplicate scenarios that could be realistic to some extent.

Kiss

In this fanfic the writer talks about the characters of Wizards of Waverly place.

I didn’t think this fanfic was well written or interesting at all. It wasn’t until the end that I realized it was a complete waste of time reading it. Personally I am not one to ridicule work and make people feel bad about what they have written but I thought that the ideas expressed I the fanfic were inappropriate and silly.

The fanfic described the relationship between Alex and Justin. It is a Valentines Day episode centralized around Justin’s break up with Juliet. He decided to set a “kissogram” in attempts to get over Juliet. Alex visits him at his “kissogram” and demands a kiss from him. He doesn’t realize that she does not mean I literal kiss but a chocolate kiss that he is giving out as a valentine present to all the girls who pay to kiss him at the “kissogram”. Finally the end of the fanfic reveals to the reader that Alex was after the candy Justin was giving out instead of the actual kiss he thought she wanted.

I did not enjoy this, as I don’t think that the relationship between the brother and sister duo was written to sound innocent. However I thought the idea of having Alex ask for a kiss with the intention of wanting just chocolate was clever.

The Girlfriend Agreement

The Big Bang Theory is a smart and creative comedy that makes viewer think about the humor that is being communicated across. I thoroughly enjoyed this fan fiction and think that the writer must know the show really well to create a fan fiction like this. When I read this I could imagine each one of their character saying their respective lines and in the scenario described by the writer. Including some drama into the show was clever because it shows how diverse the show can be. Even with a drama such as a death or serious illness would usually clash with a comedy however I think that this was written well enough for it to fit in perfectly.

However, I believe that there is one more thing the writer could have improved on- I think that the way they have written the fan fiction was a bit odd. The structure was not what I was expecting and I felt like the ideas moved around too fast. The scenario of Sheldon being completely obsolete to everyone’s feelings apart from his own was clever and humorous. I’m not going to lie, if this writer wrote again. I would read.

Distant

Ahh. Desperate Housewives. I remember watching this when it first came out. I wasn’t “supposed” watch it because it was “AO” and I was too young apparently. HAHA. This show has taught me a lot about life would you believe. And reading this fan fiction brought back a HUGE amount of memories. This fan fiction talked about Bree and her afilction with the new neighbors. If you have watched Desperate Housewives you would know that later on in the series we discover Bree did know the new neighbors and the wife was connected to Mary-Alice. Desperate Housewives was a huge series and could not explained in a few words. You would need to know the storyline to understand.

I enjoyed this dialogue in this fan fiction and is the only primarily sourced dialogue fan fiction that I have read. I think that the writer did and average job of this and probably should have added in a brief setting description along with conjunctive sentences to tie the whole scene together. Like I said at the begining I love Desperate Housewives and thought that this fan fiction was good but could have been improved had it had a little more detail and descriptive language instead of sole dialogue.
