Fanfics I don’t have time to review

Posted in Fanfiction at 22:37

As I mentioned earlier, I tend to read a lot more fanfiction than I review. As such, I’ve decided to make this post. (You should bookmark it because I will edit it) This is where I will post quick links to fanfics that I may take a while to review, usually because they’re 3/6 or 4/6 and I’m feeling too lazy to write up a full review. To be honest, the hardest part is usually boiling the entire review down into that little number.

Fanfiction - “Akane”

Posted in Fanfiction at 16:05

Title: Akane
URL: Fanfiction.net
Author: Kirinin
Source: Ranma 1/2
Rating: 5.5/6
Type: Continuation, Dark but not the kind I mind
Length: 14 Chapters (Complete)

Hmm. Akane seems to have forgotten something (or someone) from the last year of her life. What happened? (Sorry I couldn’t do a better summary.)

At the beginning, grammar is ok and there are some spelling mistakes, but they go away as you read further. To be honest, it feels as if Kirinin is an extremely creative person who took a few chapters to properly get into the characters. The story builds suspense very well though and it does seem original enough. If the first chapters annoy you and yet keep you hooked at the same time, don’t worry. It’s fixed in the later chapters.

Stuff I Probably Won’t Review

Posted in Fanfiction at 14:52

Well, I finally admitted to myself that I probably won’t be able to review every fanfic I’ve ever read. As such, I’ve decided to start listing the stuff I probably won’t review and why. (I still read them out of pure curiosity)

  • Ah! Ranma-sama by Richard Beaubien (Interesting concept but, even if you ignore the fact that it’s in script form, the writing isn’t very good, it looks like it was never proofread very seriously, and it uses too many clichés.)

Fanfiction - “Cast A Second Line Into The Sea”

Posted in Fanfiction at 13:57

Title: Cast A Second Line Into The Sea
URL: Author’s Site (Direct Link)
Author: Sinom Bre
Source: Ranma 1/2
Rating: 6/6
Type: Continuation
Length: One-shot

Let’s take a look at one possible future. What if Akane has been dead for seven years and Ranma has been left with four daughters? This fic starts when Ryoga, clear-headed for the first time, and having been gone since before Akane’s death, returns to town. What follows is an amazingly well-written and completely believable story which I would recommend to anyone but my brother. (He hates fanfiction because it isn’t a perfect imitation of the original’s mood and plot. In other words, he hates fanfiction.)
