Time_Crisis_Ultimatum
Based on the game series Time Crisis, this fan-fiction involves all the characters throughout the series. Although it is in no way resembling the feel of the game is does very well in creating a gripping introduction and characterizations. The author even utilises foreign languages in a courageous effort that really added to the characterizations of the villains. It is an incomplete work, but looks very promising.
Twin_Destiny
Based on the game series Halo. An excellent story. The thing I liked most about this is it focused on the innocent boy bystander and not all on the heroes. Many Halo fanfics that I've read get too wrapped up in what the Covenant forces are doing and draw attention away from the main character but this does a good job with capturing the world of the game. Very emotional and descriptive.
Snowfall_at_Sea
Based on the movie Master and Commander. This story narrates a small episode onboard the ship at sea and describes the enjoyment and playfulness of the crew during a rarely encountered fall of snow. I think it could do with some more historically focussed descriptions of the setting and ship to develop the scene further, however it does a good job describing all the different types of personnel onboard the ship.
The_Bourne_Pilgrimage
Based on the movie series The Bourne Identity. Bourne's enemy has rejected his offer to walk away. So he and Nicky go after the enemy's source to stop him. Bourne gets badly injured and it becomes up to Nicky to be the tough one. What stands out is how well the action scenes are written- very clear and can be imagined with a sense of struggle and ferocity just like the films.
Frequent_Flyer
Based upon the cartoon series Ninja Turtles. This fan-fiction centres on the Donatello character but also involves the other 3 turtles. Donatello has a hard time in the sparring session and master Splinter gives his attention to help comfort the young student. It is very true to the series with Splinter talking in his renowned wise lecturing style.
Sleepyhead
Based on the movie Avatar. This short fan-fiction takes place the morning Jake is permanently transformed into his avatar body. It is a fun account of Neytiri as she watches Jake sleep. It develops on some ideas in the movie like Neytiri’s fear of Jack not waking up like he did in the movie. Well written with good grammar and clearly seperated paragraphs.
The_Pridelanders_Part_1
Based on the Lion King movie. This fan-fiction works on an alternate twist in plot of the movie where Simba never ran away after Mufasa died. Almost the entire story is written from a first person point of view that switches around through different characters. It is very imaginative and a very plausible alternate plot for the movie even though it does included a few newly created characters.
The_Player
Based on the Microsoft Windows game minesweeper. The story writes about the thoughts and views of a player in playing the game. It is short but amazing that such an entertaining piece of writing could have the basis of such a monotonous and simple game. The sentence structure becomes a little repetitive but I was very impressed with this piece.
The_Ken_Masters_Interview
A very interesting fan-fiction based on the game Street Fighter. The author writes an interview with Ken Masters, one of the main characters in the game to find out his point of view on other characters in the game. It mixes but successfully manages to capture all humour, tragedy and sadness. It pokes fun at the games but also tells the story and builds a conclusion for a solid ending.
Full_of_Bull
Based on the film Rush Hour. This is an account of Lee’s thoughts of Carter when they first meet. It is very accurate with the movie and uses the lines almost word for word but building on top as Lee analyses Carters’ persona. It is very humorous and is easy to imagine Lee thinking in the manner the author portrays.
