Daniel and his 10 Fanfic

Perchance to Dream Written
Crossover between "Doctor Who" from the BBC and the "Sandman" from DC comics
Doctor Who Finally settles down to a good nights sleep and meets the sandman in front of his gate
The writing is very true to the source lots and quips and jokes that wouldn't be out of place in the show, getting Donna out a bodice with the sonic screwdriver after she gets stuck in it being quite good.
Me not being familiar with the character of the sand man didn't know how well we was portrayed. The length was a bit short but in told the story well in the space it was given.

Bounty Hunter to Petty Theif Written
Alternative reality based on "Firefly" the TV show
Introduces a new character and resulting romance into the middle of the firefly series. Mal's little sister joins the crew to flee from a criminal Hit that's placed been placed on her head. Quite a good read if a little long. Seemed to be biased towards a few of the characters especially to Jayne, giving a little to much "soul" to what was a rather simple character in the show.

Mothers and Sisters Written
Based on the anime "R.O.D"
Gives voice to a very silent character in the show Junior. Set in after the show Junior reflects on his unusual past and how he views the world from his sheltered existence. Pretty hard to understand if you haven’t watched the show and is very fresh in your mind a lot in “in house” references are made. Still very readable and quite philosophical.

Goblins Comic
Based on the Board game "Dungeon and Dragons"
Focuses on a group of goblins try change their place in the world by becoming Player Characters instead of low level monsters. Large amount of humor, but a really interesting plot. Characters in the story will freely talk about "hit points" and "stats" this combined with the story puts a little reality into the fantasy which is quite refreshing.

The Dark Half Written
Based on the movie "Mirror Mask"
Essentially happens after the end of the movie acts as what would be the final scene in the movie and gives a "bad ending". Depressing and rather short. The Movie was about getting over ones inner demons and this story gives a rather sad twist to the "overcoming adversity" feel of the movie. Well written though.

Freefall Written
Based on the computer game “Bioshock”.
A prequel to the game its set at the start of Atlas's rebellion against Andrew Rayne shows the faults in Raptures society and the classicism that is prevalent in the Undersea Utopia. Centered on a background character from the game, gives a very interesting view on the events that take place later in the game. Although the story is yet to be finished still very interesting.

Legend Of Neil Video
Based on the game "The Legend of Zelda".
Neil a nobody gas attendant from New Jersey gets sucked into the video game legend of Zelda and is given the chance to be a Hero. Lots of humour though some is a little crass. The story points out alot of holes in video game logic to a comical end, such as why is there money hidden in long grass and pots??. Story is still being made but and interesting watch.

Agatha Heterodyne and the Excessively Hirsute Canine Written
Based on the online Comic "Girl Genius"
Very good story of a good size that is remarkably true and in style of the canon. Though it is written and therefore lacks the visual appeal of the steam punk setting The story is not hampered by it.The story introduces a person impersonating the Heterodyne heir. Much to Agatha's distaste as she is swiftly jailed as a fake.

Grim Tales Comic
Based on ALOT
Mainly centered on the fictional children of the grim reaper, from the TV show "The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy". These Two characters encounter a lot of will known figures from other TV shows and comics. It is a rather adult use of characters that a primarily meant for children, the theme and content are all rather grim but enjoyable.

Two Years in the making Written
Based on the anime "Samurai Champloo".
Set two years after the end of the series, Fuu, Mugen and Jin reunite for the first time after they separated. None of the characters have changed at all. The story switches from each one of the three’s point of view as they meet. It is rather disjointed and not very true to the source. Most of the over 5000 words are just observation from each of the three.
