Kisa's five fan fiction links (FINAL)





Summary: This fan fiction is about Robert Dudley marrying another woman when he "declares" he is in love with Queen Bess( Elizabeth) and he has to marry someone as he has no inheritance,  he wont get any land or wealth of his parents as he is not a first born child. This fan fiction is set when Elizabeth was not yet crowned queen.

Critique: My opinion on this fan fiction story is that it is quite interesting by the way it is written in first person making it personal which makes us, the reader feel sorry for Bess that we may say/think that Dudley does not love her enough to go and marry someone else. It is not lengthy which doesnt make it boring (quick read). The emotive language used to attract the audience creating empathy for those who have been in love before in a similar situation like this. No one in reality knows or is sure about Elizabeth's love life, as she claims that she was a virgin at a older age, and the only love story some people are aware of is her relationship with Robert Dudley, but its hardly explored in depth in most history books as some historians have can't draw conclusions as to what happened in Elizabeth's love life. So it is satisfying to read a fan fiction about what could of possibly or in the authors imagination happened in Elizabeth's love life as no one is sure about what happened in reality.

Rating:  7/10


2. Sucker Punch: It Will Be a Perfect Victory


Summary: You have to have watched the movie "Sucker Punch" to understand this piece of fan fiction. 
This fan fiction is about a step father who has a step daughter who is a bit crazy as she had tried to kill him. She was sent off somwhere that we the reader know from watching the movie was a mental institution. While she was sent off to a mental institution to undergo surgery to lose her memory. Her step father went to court for the trial of something that he has done to his step daughter that we do not know of. He won the trial. But after her surgery, she still remembered everything that happened and he was very worried about this which proved that he is most likely the culprit.

Critique: This story is presented to us using the technique of backstory, which makes us think about the story in a 'connect the dots to make sense' kind of way or like decoding, which is why you have to watch the movie to understand this if you haven't. I think this story is relevant to the story and its something we would want to know because the movie mainly focuses on the girls and how they mentally get through the mental institution, while being abused in many ways rather than the reason why they are sent to the mental institution. The grammar and spelling is good and made it easier for the reader to sink into the story. But it is mainly dialogue but i think that is okay. :)


Rating: 8/10





Summary: This fanfiction is about Katniss and Peetas daughter, set when she has grown into a teenager. Their daughter, Rose, inherited Peetas mental disorders (i have no idea what it is). They come home from going out one night and find Rose and a boy making out on their sofa. They are just, dissapointed with her until they find out the boy is Katniss ex best friend from childhood who fell in love with her , Gale. This made Peter angry I assume out of feeling protective and maybe even jealousy over his wife Katniss and his daughter.

Critique: My opinion is that this fan fiction has a interesting storyline because we would never expect their daughter to get with Gales son, but this story is starting to have a twilight feel of concept to it, which is bad for me because i hate twilight. But i like how it is written in Katniss point of view because we as the reader would be interested in how she would feel about her daughter hooking up with her ex best friends son.

Rating:5/10








Summary: This fan fiction is based on the last episode of the last season of Misfits. Misfits is mainly about five trouble making teenagers who are community workers. One day they are hit by a storm and develop powers based on their personality (e.g Simon is a quiet person who is mainly invisible upon the popular crowd and he developed the power of invisibilty.) It is mainly about Simon and Alisha who are lovers. Alisha gets killed in this fanfiction story but one of the community working teenagers powers was to bring people back to life but the consequence was that bringing someone back to life was like being reborn. Alisha would lose all her memory. So simon has to find a way to make Alisha fall in love with him again.

Critique: I love this t.v series, but I think i would rather stick to the origional story because this fan fiction felt like it copyed the origional story which made it boring because we as the reader would already know and find this boring. But i liked the writing style as it was spaced out and easy to read and the spelling and grammar was good.
Rating: 4/10


Summary: This is about Sponge Bob and Patricks first day of High School and Sponge Bob was excited about starting, until he got there and it was not what he expected. He saw a pretty girl and said hi to her but she rejected him. When the school jock saw this he bullyed him for being a freshman and spongebob had his lunch chucked on him by the jock. So he went back home angry and went to sleep.

Critique: In my opinion i dont find this story very enjoyable. The grammar is poor and the spelling as well that sometimes it makes some of the sentences a bit confusing. The writer changed Sponge Bobs personality and he wasnt as we know him. Sponge Bob in this Fanfiction is so serious with hardly any humor in him. But i think Patrick is the only humerous person/starfish in this story. I think when readers are looking for a "Sponge Bob Squarepants" fanfiction they would expect funny, that is why i think readers would not connect or enjoy this fanfiction. Other than this I like how there is a big conflict in this story but then this conflict is never solved.

Rating: 2/10
