Marcus' 5 Fan Fiction Links


True Blood is a T.V adaption of a popular book series, written by Charlaine Harris. 
The main character is Sookie Stackhouse, a telepath, living in a World where having vampires as neighbors is the norm. She is constantly surrounded by danger due to her love with Bill Compton and attraction to Eric Northman, who are both vampires. Later on in the series, we find out that Sookie is actually a fairy, which explains her delicious scent and ability to read minds.

In this particular fanfiction, Godric (a 2000 year old vampire), is convinced by Sookie to not end his life, due to her belief that he has the ability to change the lifestyle of all vampires for the greater good!

This plot is very unrealistic and hard to believe, as the character Godric was one of the wisest vampires to ever exist! The idea of this character altering his time of death -which is a big deal to vampires, cayse they're immortal n stuff- for a fairy is highly unlikely! 
This would've been more interesting if Sookie used her fairy powers, and killed Godrick herself.
Or if the author replaced Godric, with Lorena (Bill's maker), and made Sookie convince her to repent for her sick lifestyle. 


Needed another fan fiction link so I chose Harry Potter! OH JOY! Everyone knows the story of Harry Potter, I think? If you don't, BOOO (N). 
Here, the author has created a storyline where Luna Lovegood is taken to Azakabam (a prison for wizards), for having her part in opening the Chamber of Secrets. Harry protests and decides to stay with Luna at the prison. 
The author has done a good job with predicting the actions of the characters. For example, I also believe that if this happened in the book, Harry would've have also protested because he cares too much for his friends.  
To improve this, maybe the author could've put in more action with Harry fighting dementors or protecting Lunar.  




3.Vampire Diaries



This fan fiction is made to focus on Bonnie the witch. 
The story creates a different ending to season 3. Instead of Klaus becoming the worlds first hybrid, Bonnie and her friends stop this from happening. She ends up being kidnapped and forced to create a spell to give vampires the ability to reproduce. 
The story was quite long, and at times boring. In the tv series, Bonnie doesn't use much of her powers, even though she's one of the most powerful witches alive. This annoys me! I hoped that by reading this fan fiction story, I would be satisfied, but I wasn't. 
To improve this story, more witch action is necessary, especially if the witch is the main focus. Other than that, the story wasn't too bad. Wouldn't read it again though, its very long.


4.Bleach

This fan fiction story is about a young girl whose grandfather is the strongest Shinigami to ever exist. Both her parents have died, so she is left with her grandfather. 
I assume later on in the story (when its written) it will follow her journey to discovering her power and her success to becoming a Captain. Since her grandfather is so powerful, I suppose she will also be quite powerful.
Although there is only one chapter, it seems like it will be quite interesting to follow up on.
In the story the main character only been introduced, so it would be hard to comment on what I like/dislike about it. I think it would be good to maybe introduce some signs of showing she has great power. 
But so far I like what the author has done.


This story is about how Cameron, John's robot protector came to be. It shows the struggles of understanding human emotion, and how difficult it is to be accepted by her human team members. She continues to question the reason for future John sending her back (in the past), to protect the present, John Connor. 
I like how the author shows the bonding of robot and human through fun games, like soccer and how quickly they begin to trust her. I also like how the author does a good job at describing how the characters feel about having a robot living with them, he/she uses a lot of descriptive language.
Some things which could be improved would be the waffling. There are some scenes that are just pointless, and have no reason to be! 
Apart from that, I enjoyed reading this fan fiction!

  1. Nice layout man I like seeing the imagery in that size and very brave going for the Harry Potter Fan Fiction read. Personally the whole Harry Potter scene is incredbily plaugurised with copyright, immature POV's, religous lock downs the list goes on. It's hard to write anything with any substance to it.
