Fanfiction - “Easy Prey”
Title: Easy Prey
Author: Space Pirate Hamster
Source: Ranma 1/2
Rating: 4/6
Type: Potentially-dark what-if
Length: One-shot
Well, if you’ve been reading my recent posts, you probably guessed that I’m working my way through Furinkan.net right now. Correct.
While browsing, I saw Easy Prey and, if you’ve been to Furinkan.net, you’ve probably seen the synopsis. Essentially, “What if a criminal thought the Tendo Dojo would be easy prey?” Can you say, “Canon Fodder”?
This was an interesting fic. Considering what happened to who, I don’t consider this a dark fic but some people might. I did like the fact that it was written as a story being told by the criminal. It’s nice to get the occasional break from stories written in 3rd-person omniscient viewpoint.
Anyway, I’d say it’s pretty much 4 of 6 for whatever category you rate it on. Maybe 4.5 or 5 under originality for doing something that everybody probably considered but never tried. I give it a 4 overall. A fun way to pass five minutes.
