Roxy's Five Fan-fiction Links

I. Conversations Between Us

Synopsis:

   This story follows May, an 18 year old girl who's life changes after she meets Crist and Mayhem, two enemy gang leaders. Her life took a complete turn as she gets thrown into one gang situation to another. Slowly, she realizes that her past has not completely left her yet either. Crist and Mayhem have a long past with each other, but none of them really knew the truth about what had happened in their past and hated each other for it. 

Critique:

I really liked this story, it was really unpredictable. The story is mainly done in May's point of view, so I felt like I really got to know her character by the end of the story. Conversations between us really kept my attention and I felt like I had to know what happened next with the main characters.

II) Keys Before My Eyes

Synopsis:

Eun Hee a girl who loves piano ever since she was a little kid, yet she never learnt how to play it. She works at a music store because of her infatuation with this musical instrument. She only had one friend, a nerd. One day she meets Jun Tae, from that day on her life changed. Suddenly, Eun Hee became a suspect in a murder case. And the plot thickens.

Critique:

For me, this story was a little bit confusing. I did like where the story line was going but it feels a bit rushed when you read it. Again, this story was focused on Eun Hae and you really get to know her character well even though she can be annoying at times. Also, the side story about Eun Hee was incredibility cute! The author really knew how to keep the cliffhangers coming at the end of each chapter!

III) Won't Say a Word

 Synopsis:

The crew hasn't had a break with Luffy on the ship! Even though he's the captain, he's very immature and well just plain stupid. Nami, the navigator, dares Luffy to stay quiet for a whole month. Luffy agrees to this and promised the crew. After a few days the crew can't handle the silence and thinks of different ways to make Luffy talk!

Critique:

I found this an alright read. Some of the characters aren't portrayed exactly the same as the anime displays them. Though not having Luffy talk was a great idea! Luffy's the captain of the crew and of course, he's the loudest of them all. Watching the crew try make him talk with no effort was definitely funny!

IV) Cherry, My Love

Synopsis:

This is a Cardcaptor Sakura fanfiction. The story bases around Syaoran and Sakura. Sakura is a famous pop star, her stage name, Cherry. Fed up with her mother and celebrity life, she stages her death and runs away to her friends, Tomoyo and Mei-Lin. There she mets Mei-Lin's cousin, Syaoran. Sakura starts a new job as a high school teacher and is enjoying her life. But, what happens with Syaoran?

Critique:

I liked this story because it was a little bit twisted. Seeing how Sakura's past was like with her mother and how she was forced to be secluded from her friends to become a pop star so that her mother has money to spend was really sad. I also liked reading how Sakura and Syaoran first meet and the events that led them to become lovers. Cardcaptor's was one of my favourite anime's as a child and Sakura and Syaoran were my favourite couple so I really enjoyed this story. 

V) Hold Me Tightly

Synopsis:

This story is about a girl Ririchiyo, she lives in a place called the Ayakashi Kan. A place filled with humans who possess the blood of Yokai (monsters). And of course, Ririchiyo is one of them as well a long with her Secret Service, Miketsukami. Ririchiyo, constantly has nightmares at night. 

Critique:

I liked how the author has portrayed Ririchiyo's character. She is someone who doesn't like to bother others, says mean things and then regrets it later. I liked how she tries to hid her nightmares from the residents there and Miketsukami. After a while it starts to affect her and Miketsukami is there for her in the end! So cute.
