Ideologically, we can see lot of things happing in our society that peoples are desperately want something what they think like and love but only their demanded things can’t be theirs. So when they realize and their misunderstanding that time they give up. Same things happen in here and Julianne did same thing and wises good luck for their friend and keep friendship with them.

When she was cooked and served on the table the owner found some pieces are missing. The owner asks her what happen the legs and wings of the bird and then maid said the bird had one leg and wing. While they are having the food owner also found that brain was missing too. The maid said the bird didn’t have brain and maid said she will give the proof, if she takes her out. When they are traveling and passing a small river on the way the maid pointed look one bird is (a crane) standing with one leg so the bird had only one leg and after little while she found another bird drying her wing and another wing was close and she pointed that the bird have only one wing. The mistress asks her the maid what happened the brain? She said that bird was a teacher after teaching the student she decayed her brain.



5. Ali baba and 40 thieves






Ali Baba was oral medieval middle stern story. Ali Baba’s and 40 thieves story is quite magical. Ali Baba was an honest man. His was fortunate to get thieves treasure.  
Ali Baba was poor wood trades. One day he went to forest for collect wood for his trade suddenly he notices some thieves nearby him and checking their treasure cave. The thieves said “ open semsam” one door open automatically and when they left again they said “close simsim” the door closed again. After the thieves left that place he pronounced same word the cave door opened automatically and he enter the cave and took some treasure and gone home. For measuring the gold’s he borrow a scale from his sister in low she was cleaver and put some glue under need the scale and found later Ali Baba measured gold. His brother Cassim in insist him take him to that place where he found the gold. Another time Cassim went inside the cave by using the same word but forget to open the door words. Unluckily the thieves arrived and killed him. On the other hand, when Cassim was not coming home his wife was worried and frequently request Ali Baba to get him. Ali Baba was found he is dead and bring out his dead body at home and buried him. The thieves found dead body is missing so someone knows about the cave. They try to find out in different occasion they also killed by themselves and made of Ali Baba named Morgina.
Even if Ali Baba’s story was quite magical but he was honest man so luckily he got the treasure. His brother was greedy, killed for his greed. Thieves been dishonest they also punished gradually in here I can say honest is the best policy that brings the success of Ali Baba.

Andy's fanfic reviews

What Next?

 
 This fanfic is based on the movie The Truman Show and explores the life of Truman after he leaves the ‘fake world’. The movie The Truman Show is about about a man who lives in a made up world for a tv show. The fanfic starts off Truman being in panic and paranoid about cameras, but his partner, Sylvia, becomes his anchor to adapting to a reality. The timeline jumps to 5 years later where Sylvia had been supporting for both of them and Truman just staying at home unemployed. The timeline jumps again to 15 years later where Truman and Sylvia had broken up and Truman contemplating to commit suicide due to inability to adapt to the real world.
  
 Now, this did not work for me because the author does not stay true to characters that were depicted in the original movie. The fanfic suggests that Truman was unable to function as a normal human being, which is why he was unemployed for 15 years and just stayed at home. The world Truman left behind may have been created to fit him and spared certain hardships; he did not get everything just handed to him. He had a job to support himself and he had no problem communicating with others. Also if he indeed suffered severe mental disorder, wouldn’t he seek help for his psychological needs?
  
Of course the fanfic covers the story after the movie so it can only be based on theory and speculation. However, the events happened in this fanfic seemed rather very unlikely from my point of view. Interesting to read but it was flawed.



 
The movie The Butterfly Effect is one of my favourite movies all time. It explores the concept of time travel and the idea of what if I did this, how would my life be different than now?  The main character, Evan Trabourn, time travels by reading his journal or watching a film. The fanfic captures the moment when he and Lenny drive to a junkyard to burn all of his journal and films. The reason was he decided to stop time travel because whenever he tried to make everything or everyone better than how it was, it just caused other things to get worse.
  
The fanfic describes in detail what Evan was thinking and feeling before he burns all of his journals and films.  He conflicts with himself with the temptation to travel back and try to make one thing better, or accepting his current life. The story is loosely based around the paper with a phrase ‘I will come back for you’, hence the title. This is a plot hole because the paper should not exist in the life Evan settles with. He wrote the paper for Kayleigh when he was forced to move away. However, in order to ensure her and her brother’s happiness, Evan could not be in her life so he scared Kayleigh away from him first time they met each other. So the life Evan ends up with does not have Kayleigh in it hence the paper should not exist.

 All in all, the fanfic is written very well to describe Evan’s feelings and thoughts, and stays true to the characters. 



 
Shutter Island is a very interesting movie for someone who is interested in psychology like myself. The basic plot of the movie is that the main character, Andrew Laeddis, suffers from delusion and hallucination in order to handle the post traumatic stress. It is so severe that he lives in a made-up world. So to treat this condition, Dr. Sheehan role plays in Andrew’s made-up world to make him realise that the world he believes to be real is not, in fact, real.

 The fanfic is a plot twist and introduces an unexpected element to the relationship between Dr. Sheehan and Andrew. Not only Dr. Sheehan is Andrew’s psychiatrist, he’s a working partner in Andrew’s world. So they spend awful a lot of time together. In this fanfic, Dr. Sheehan begins to develop a certain appreciation for Andrew’s physical form. Also he grows much fond of sharing the cigarette together, even feeling euphoric from tasting Andrew on the cigarette.

 I can’t say I particularly liked this fanfic nor disliked it. Main reason is that the extra element to the doctor-and-patient relationship was so unexpected, I did not think it was even plausible. Having said that, the fanfic works because of the lack of background information about Dr. Sheehan in the movie and amount of time they spend together.  It is definitely a outside-of-box angle so I guess I like it when I think about it in that way.



Portrait of pain


F.E.A.R (First Encounter Assault Recon) is a thriller game about a twisted project called Origin. The project involved a girl called Alma who possessed psychic ability and the purpose of project was to create super soldiers commanded by her psychic ability. However, the project was forced to shut down due to abnormal, freaky incidents and stopped Alma’s life support. The abnormal incidents did not stop and Alma did not die, and she wanted to kill everyone who was involved in the project in the name of vengeance.

 The fanfic is written from Alma’s point of view about the Origin project and how it completely ruined her life. The author does a very good job on drawing a complete picture of Alma’s point of view in terms of her feelings, thoughts, and her twisted life. She was used as an experiment since she was 7 and forced to have two children who became part of the project as well. She was mortified and enraged everything was being taken away from her, even her life. I like that the author includes quotes from the game appropriately because it makes the whole piece more gripping and relatable to my experience with the game. 




  Fantastic 4 is about a group of scientists who were exposed to an extreme level of radiation and gained supernatural abilities. Johnny can light himself with a fire, Reed can stretch any part of his body, Ben is a solid rock, and Sue can turn into invisible. With their super powers, they decide to help people and save the world.

 The fanfic adds extra shades to characters with a casual conversation in a living room. Johnny is very outgoing, adventurous, and known to be surrounded by women. However, in the fanfic it confesses to Reed that he has never slept with a woman before. The author does great job in keeping the essences of characters like father-like personality of Reed and Johnny behaving like a young adult. The dialogues in the fanfic are done fluently so it was easy to visualize the interaction between Johnny and Reed. In terms of whether it could be true or not, I can't really decide because Johnny is such unpredictable character, anything is possible.

Lucy's five fan fiction reviews.

Author: laurenviolin

The characters of the story was borrowed from the movie "just my luck". The story is completely from the movie. It is a new story about the band Mcfly and a girl Lauren. It leads the reader directly into the story. At the beginning, the girl named Lauren frowns and a mysterious 'him' occupies the mind of Lauren. Just a few lines, we can guess this must be a teenager story,. The words used by the author to describe 'him' (such as ocean blue eyes, see breezing hair) colour the story with a dreaming feeling. We can image how the two lovebirds are flying in a night sky on the sea. I like this way of introducing the characters of the story.

Author: raven-fanboy

This is love story adapted from more than just friends? I like this story adaptive version because the author creates an interesting story using life style oral language. Through the conversation between the characters, the writer presents the Raven's feelings about the beast boy. This is a fast way for people to create a simple story without putting too much efforts on structure and words selection. While telling a story, we just chose the most interested part and speak out with simple words. This way of creating a story actually gives the readers freedom to use their imaginations. They can image how the characters look like while they are talking with each other.

Author: dmcintoshtx
Summary: Ennis tries to cope with losing Jack
This story is borrowed from the movie ,Brokeback Mountain. It is created as a slash of the whole movie story. It is written by the writer in a prose style. The theme of the story- "Jack, How do I live without you?- has been repeated in the article several times. I think repeating the theme sentence actually help the writer create a strong feeling in readers, especially in a short creative writing. This theme sentence create a sad or  mournful tune. The sensitive readers can be attracted by this feeling very quickly from the beginning. Creating a touching tune for the article is very important.  

This poem is adapted from the story of The Notebook. At the beginning, the sentence "I never knew" directly lead the readers to the internal world of the writer. Different feelings such as regret, sweetness, fear and other unspoken feelings are mixing together into this sentence. I am impressed by the writer's word expression skills. Simple but moving words can always resonate among readers. The writer, acted as the character of the story, asked and answered by oneself. I believe that readers can only be moved by the true feelings. The writer expressed his or her true feelings for love. 


Author: Rosa Cotton

This story is well-written in terms of imagination. It is not written in a complicated structure. The story is developing along with the imagination journey of the character in the wood. The writer stimulates the readers to imagine different adventures in the wood. A good story not only stimulates reader's interests but also evokes their imaginative potentials to develop their own stories. The story tells me that plot creation should start by providing readers a situation filled with appeals and fantasy.

Sams Fanfic Reviews!!!

1 Litre of Tears


This is a short Japanese story of two high school students. It tells the history between Asou and his undying love for a young student named Aya Ikeuchi even though she suffers from a progressive and degenerative disease. It mentions various significant emotional moments between the pair and Asou's strong dedication towards Aya until the time of her death.


Personally for me, the author has failed to express the deep connection between the young pair and has not properly portrayed much depth through use of brief writing. While each scene depicted seems lacking in content, I believe that with more in-depth information delving into the personalities of Asou and Ikeuchi, there is a chance of an amazingly interesting and heart wrenching story.





1 Litre of Tears






Battle Royale 2012


This fanfic introduces a group of 30 young students from Meadows High School that are subjected to a macabre and brutal game in which they must kill each other off until there is only one left alive. With a pack of necessities including a random weapon, a time limit of four days, and a bomb strapped to each student’s neck that detonates after the time limit is up, they sit in wait, contemplating their grim fate.

With the short number of chapters, the author manages to get across a small glimpse of what’s in store for the future of the students and it doesn’t seem very well written at all. The first chapter shows a long list of bland and generic names for the thirty students and fails to include any kind of attention grabbing statement. The following pages are just as boring and poorly written with no real promise of becoming interesting in anyway whatsoever.


Battle Royale 2012







Josh After



This particular story follows a man who has the ability to astral project into a spirit world and is forced  to travel into the dangerous unknown to save his son's body from evil spirits. Facing uncertainty in the form of an old horror from the past, he finds himself in a struggle to save his physical body from being stolen and becoming stuck in another realm for all eternity.

The first chapter is a well written and intriguing introduction which leaves the reader with an insatiable appetite for more in this curiously nightmarish fanfic. At the end of each page the author includes addicting hooks that make you want to pause time and indulge in every aspect of this world encased in fiction and horror.

We Belong Together


This fanfic revels in the close relationship shared by a pair of University students after a year of separation. 
Lee Shin and Lee Kyu won are two young teens with an extremely complicated and messy past who share similarities in their passion and love for music and performing.


Attempting to get through the first page of this abomination will give you a headache. It looks as if it was written by someone equipped with a small grasp on English grammar and punctuation. Either that or a foreigner with English as their second language. Considering the fact that it is based on a foreign show, one can only assume. Aside from the disastrous writing, it offers confusing content in the form of a plot and fails to manifest into anything at all with its abrupt finish with no hint as to why.  Disregarding the never ending, mind numbingly illiterate writing, it could quite possibly have the potential for a decent storyline. But don't get your hopes up.  

We Belong Together







Raising Gumiho

In this fanfic the author highlights the differences of two immortal lovers who have just reunited after one thousand years. Dong Ju is an immortal being who stumbles upon his former lover Mi Ho who is reborn as a nine-tailed fox. With the newly born Mi Ho, Dong Ju must figure out how to care for his former lover while not drawing any attention from the humans that he despises so much. Eventually he stumbles upon the conclusion that it's not actually him teaching her, but her teaching him. 

The Author of this fanfic implements an array of interesting transitions and manages to show the deep connection between the lead characters. Their personalities are well defined and projected onto the reader as if to show the possibility of somehow relating their experiences to real life situations. The author uses cleverly placed hooks consisting of a wide variety of awe-inspiring statements and exhibits a more than sufficient and surprisingly good use of terminology. Raising Gumiho really is quite a good piece of writing.

Raising Gumiho

Josiahs Fan-Fiction Reviews

I am particularly an avid fan of Aang, the loveable airbender who fulfills his destiny mastering the four elements to beat Fire Lord Ozai. so naturally when scrolling through the fan fiction websites I was drawn to this.

This fan fiction writer has decided to take things one step further by creating a fourth book  "Air"

In this series we find out that not all the airbenders were killed when the war broke out a hundred years ago but a small number had escaped to live in for the remainder of the war.

Theres is 15 chapters in the fan fic blog and it sees all of the main characters return Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Haru, Aapa with the introduction of a new airbender from the small community Kai-Yu. The storyline centres around Aangs sock meeting with Kai-Yu and finding out shes an airbender. The whole group then starts to visit the small community so Aang can get to know his culture. When word gets out that the fire nation did not wipe out all the airbenders the community becomes under threat by fire benders that are still loyal to Ozai and want to start the war again.

This blog is very interesting as a fourth book, but it does not stay true to the original three where the Avatar goes on adventures and seeks to make the world a better place, rather than focusing on a blossoming relationship between Kai-Yu and Haru. I did find the introduction of another airbender delightful and well thought out. Overall I would give this a 5/10 mostly just for attempting to write a fourth book.

 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has accumulated a cult following since the release of its first movie since the early 90’s. Lets be honest, we watched it, we loved it so eventually we were going to write fan fiction about it.

This particular storyline follows Leo on a night out patrolling the city where he finds himself captivated by the melodic sounds of a piano. He tracks down the sound only to find a beautiful teenage girl playing the piano. He is in awe and finds himself drawn to her.

 Little does he know that she is also like him with four of her best friends they patrol the streets at nights keeping New York safe from “The Foot” just like our four turtles. This fan fic was quite intruiging and gave a neat twist to the storyline. It worked because both groups don’t know that the other exists yet…, this fan fic blogs continues on for another 18 chapters detailing the accounts of both groups. Personally I think that its nice to have females doing some crime fighting in what is a male dominated line of work. I cant wait to read the next 17 chapters!!




Adventure Time with Finn and Jake is possibly the funniest cartoon I have ever seen in my life, after each episode my stomach is sore from the fits of laughter I was in 95% of the time. The fact that it screens on a kids cartoon channel just adds to the comedic nature of it. Even just reading this fan fic I could imagine the cartoon in my head.

This episode sees Jake and Finn on a pleasant walk through a meadow when they come across a door atop a hill, upon entering they find themselves being led around a strange house by a talking signpost. They banter about whether or not to trust this signpost and he might be leading them on a path of destruction. They decide to trust him and end up in a battle with the homes resident who they think is trying to imprison them but who really is just happy to have visitors. They end up being friends and the man gifts them a magic mirror that will help them in times of trouble.

I found this fan fic quite good and would love to see it made into an actual TV episode. The witty banter remains true to the original and all the characteristics of the characters remain the same making for a very entertaining read, this blog is now saved under my favourites.




Scooby Doo really needs no introduction, this loveable dog has stood the test of time and pulled in audiences of all ages and across many cultures. This episode is no different, this episode starts with a flashback to ancient Egypt where the brother of the King led a rebellion to take control of his city and kills him, their father the pharaoh puts a blessing on his sons grave that whoever disturbs it let his son rise along with an army of the undead and claim back the city which is rightfully his.

Now flash forward to present day where our gang are back at their apartment when Freddie hears back from an application he has put in to help out an archaeological dig and all his friends can come to. So off they jet to Egypt where adventure awaits them.

This fan fic works because it stays true to the originals, it doesn’t try to create its off spin off storyline (which in my opinion anyone would be super hard). It portrays the group all together united fighting against the unspeakable evil. Freddie the tokem leader of the group somehow upsetting the group where they all go off and try to save the day themselves, Daphne the girly girl not wanting to the hard work, Velma the resident genius always has a reason for the supernatural occurrences, Shaggy the groups resident idiot who without knowing it always comes up with the solution to solving their mysteries and his faithful sidekick Scooby who onlt wants to eat Scooby snacks. Overall very enjoyable and a great read, 9/10.




 
Hey Arnold, that football shaped head captivated me when I was in primary school and I’m not surprised people have liked it so much to write about it. 

This episode sees a little bit of a turn of events than in the usual cartoons. We all know that Helga has a huge crush on Arnold in the regular series but this takes a twist as we see Arnold start to have feelings for Helga. When Arnold sees Helga start hanging out with a highschooler he becomes jealous and go to extravagant lengths to win her love with the help of his best friend Sid. Little does he know that this highschooler is her cousin that has just moved from another city.

This works as a spinoff because it reverses the roleplaying. Usually Helga is the one trying to subtly win over the love of Arnold without confessing it to the entire school, but in this blog we see Helga not taking an interest in Arnold’s advances towards her. over and over again we just want her to see how far Arnold is going to win her love, in the end they end up. . . I’ll leave that up to you to find out.
