Johnny's Fan Fiction Links

By continuing reading fan fiction based on some of my favourite TV shows the next fan fiction is called New Shawty On the Block which is based on the TV series Entourage. This fan fiction is based around Vincent Chase the mega movie star character in the show. On the show Vincent never has an issue seducing the opposite sex; it was always Vinnie who pulled the strings. No one played the field in Hollywood as well as he did until he met Peyton. Peyton is a sassy young actress seemingly immune to all of Vince’s charms. To the reader Peyton obviously have strong feelings but by playing ‘hard to get’ she has got Vince’s bearing all messed up.

Rambling Rodeo Ross is a fan fiction based on the classic TV sitcom Friends. This one revolves around the characters Ross and Rachel. I found this fan fiction a very entertaining read because it encapsulates the goofy character of Ross which David Schwimmer played so well. Here Rachel busts Ross in the middle of a passionate rendition of a Shania Twain song and by distracting Ross with her sexual advances was able to capture the rather embarrassing moment on camera to show to the rest of the gang.

51 more days to go is a continuance from where the US sitcom Big Bang Theory left off in Season Two. Here we have the boys still in the Arctic Circle doing some revolutionary scientific research for the University they work for. This Fan Fiction I think is quite good because it is written in diary form from perspective of the three main characters (the writer did not include a diary entry for Raj). It is a good read because it portrays the characters as on the edge of going bonkers which is quite natural if you are confined to a small space for a prolonged period of time and are amongst people as neurotic as the characters on the show. I would recommend you read this piece if you are a fan of the show.

Diverging away from TV I went in search of a Fan Fiction based on movies. Broken is based on the movie Almost Famous. This Fan Fiction attempts to give us an insight on Penny Lane’s mind when she gets dumped by Stillwater’s lead guitarist Russell Hammond. Deeply in love with Russell Penny is devastated and her mind appears to be all over the place. This sense of chaos is only compounded by the Rock and Roll environment she is in. The writer does a good job illustrating the Drug, Sex and Rock & Roll atmosphere synonymous to the 70s. And by reading this fan fiction it also gives a good idea about what a life as a ‘band aid’ must of been like.

The Mobile’s Revenge is a Fan Fiction derived for Guy Ritchie’s cult film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The writer vividly depicts London’s gritty underground gangster world. There is violence; the characters all have a dark sense of humour, and talk in a cockney accent. If you are a fan of this movie, you will appreciate the creativeness of this story. I could easily envisage this as a movie.

Since I am a fan of 30 Rock, I thought I ought to find a 30 Rock fan fiction that was better than that mindless drivel I made a review on in an earlier post. After browsing through numerous mind numbing fan fics I stumbled on A Woman He Knows which I found to be a very well written fan fic. It shows Liz Lemon as a completely different character, confident, self assured and a little arrogant. The reader is intrigued to see why she is behaving that way, but natural order is restored when we understand the main reason why she's undergone a drastic personality change. I also like this fan fic because it encapsulate the banter Liz and Jack is famous for and also shows the writer to having good knowledge of the show.

Prison Blues
is a fan fiction based on that sitcom about nothing, Seinfeld. This fan fiction has the whole gang in prison. I found it very entertaining, it has Jerry being as whiney as ever complaining about prison hygiene, while at the same that berating George with his smart alec remarks. It's a great environment to drop the characters into because in Prison all you do is wait for the time to go by, creating a perfect scene for a show that is famous for being a 'a show about nothing'.

I Can Jump That Far is a fan fiction based on the TV show How I Met Your Mother. It written about the scene where the gang overcomes their fear of heights and death and jumps from one rooftop to another. Not only did they conquer their fears but also got access to an awesome Hot tub. However things turn pearshaped as frightened residents mistaken their for burglars and calls the police. Not only are the gangs held at gunpoint but are arrested and convicted for trespassing.

Stewies's Outing is about Stewie Griffith from the Family Guy cartoons. Stewie is the evil, british accented baby with homosexual tendencies. And in this fan fiction it documents the stages he went through to find out he's gay. Along with capturing the show's randomness and its hold no prisoners gags it makes for some very good reading.
