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.
