Zacs 10 fanfic links

Transformers - Bumblebee and Honeybee
A short story set one year after the end of Transformers 2 which tries to introduce a new character. Sam has a new girl in his class at college and the writer tries to imply her car is a transformer like Sams, although the writer doesn't explicitly state it is a transformer. The fanfic ends quite abruptly and leaves you wondering what will happen next. Sadly though there is quite a lot of spelling errors littered throughout but that doesn't stop you being able to understand the general plot.

A fanfic using the same narrative and ending of the Alice in Wonderland movie by Tim Burton, but with narrative from the pov of Alice, and how she doesn't want to leave underland or the Hatter but feels she has to. It changes the ending slightly by adding Hatter giving her a gift as she leaves. It is a rather well written fanfic but kind of unoriginal as all it really does is add narrative to an almost identical ending.

A batman fanfic entirely from the perspective of the Joker's knife. It is quite an odd fanfic as it is from the pov of something inanimate, but due to this is quite unique. It is rather grim as it is about a knife but the constant personification in it makes it interesting.

This fanfic takes three characters from That 70's show and pictures what they would be like today. It focuses on Jackie, Michael and Kelso. Each description includes other characters from the the series as well, usually with dialogue surrounding them to help describe the writers opinion on what the characters would be like in the year 2000's.

A short fanfic from the pov of Tony DiNozzo including all the main characters from NCIS. He bought bad shampoo which turned his hair blue and the resulting fanfic is dialogue from his colleagues plus his thoughts. It adopts the characters of the show well and if you are familiar with the show you can almost imagine the expressions and tones of the characters along with the dialogue.

A very short fanfic written in third person of Donny Donowits and his experiences of being a basterd, plus his thought of the other basterds. Mainly about how 'badass' Donny thinks he was in the basterds. It feels as if it fits in very well with the movie and the 'image' of the movie, as well as seeming like something very Tarantino.

This Heroes fanfic takes on the same style of the Heroes series. It flickers between different characters frequently whilst having slight connections between each character and the story being told. This fanfic starts out about Claire going to live with Peter and Nathan, moves to Noah thinking about Claire, then back to Claire again and finally to 4 completely different characters with an appearance of Peter at the end. Adapting the original style of Heroes makes the fanfic seem more believable, as if it could be the subject of an actual episode.

Seemingly set a while before the movie, this fanfic introduces the dog Sherlock Holmes uses to test things on in the movie. The narrative and dialogue is from Sherlock Holmes pov and uses the Queens English quite well to convincingly portray Holmes and Watson in the characters natural manner. It is well written and could easily be a legitimate prequel to the movie detailing the introduction of the dog.

A pretty unoriginal subject for a fanfic. The idea of the entire story being a dream but only letting the reader know at the end has been done to many times before. Don is alone after hours in the office catching up on some work and starts to feel very tired, spooky ghost like scenes follow. The fanfic itself was quite well written and made good use of metaphors and descriptive language, but the fact the entire thing was a dream that he woke up from at the end was a big let down.

A fanfic centered around an 'interrogation gone wrong' scenario. Two characters of the TV series, Jack and Sam, are interrogating a man when he suddenly pulls out a gun and starts ordering them around. It is set from Sam's pov and is pretty well written. Is has periods of dialogue followed by periods of narrative so you can see what is being said but also what Sam thinks about what is being said. Though is it sort of let down by the fact it is only a small portion of what could be a longer episode.
