Kae's 5 fanfiction links

5 fan fiction reviews


Summary
A precursor to Warcraft 3, it follows a likely scenario  after  the closing of the 2nd dark portal involving  Arthas Menethil  , Jaina Proudmoore and Garrosh Hellscream , the plot it told from both the orc and human perspective.

Critique

This Back-story takes place after Warcraft 2(WC2), and a few years before Warcraft 3(WC3), with a good take on an alternate scenario of history involving  a few main characters in WC3,
He follows the canon in the early history well, and is consistent with the tone of the characters and their likely thoughts and actions.
It involves a lot of accurate thought patterns of each side, humans and orcs, and does give character depth to Arthas, and what other characters think of him.


Summary
A funny scenario set a year after the Avengers movie; the Avengers crew has a get together for some gift exchanging involving hoodies given to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers by the two assassins
Critique
I thoroughly enjoyed the piece, although it does have a hint of homosexual feelings, possibly because of the authors’ love of these two characters.  The humor is easy to understand, and is more for somebody who has seen the film, to understand the context


Summary
Drizzt ‘Do’Urden  is mourning the loss of the Dwarves of Mithral Hall when they were routed by the host of Orcs on the plains nearby.  Although he is an excellent hunter and tracker, he does not wish to go to the scene to find out whether or not what he already believes is true, so he grieves in one of the only way he knows how, by killing the band of orcs that brought him misery.
Critique
A very well written piece set in the same style of writing that R.A Salvatore himself would use, it almost feels like an extract from the book, and not a fan fiction. It plays upon my emotions well because I am familiar with the character and know the relationship that he has with the dwarves.


Summary
Set in the aftermath of season one of Gundam: 00 this story is written based on the question: What if Feldt was a mobile suit pilot? Feldt is desperate as she uses her mothers Gundam to search for any traces of the combatants after the last major battle and to continue the legacy of Celestial Being.

Critique
The first chapter has a lot of emotions to it but I feel as if it focuses too much on Feldt’s emotion, we get that she is sad and desperate,  we don’t need to have it plainly spelt out and repeated every few sentences. The second chapter doesn’t do a very good job of clearly describing the setting, and plot-wise,  it moves slower than a snail, but reinforces the tension between the two characters that has been evident throughout all of season 1.


Summary
A story of fighting against Rome, told from the point of view of a tribesman,  and the life of a slave who refuses to bow down to Roman superiority.
Critique
I very much enjoyed this piece, as it follows the tale of a hero, or an antihero if viewed through the eyes of the Romans. Itching for an update to this chapter and see it possibly turn into an epic battle, rather than just an arena duel, the budding romance between slaves and an eventual climatic battle between the roman commander and the slave.
