Melba's 10 Fanfic

Bones
Losing Hope: Violation
This fanfiction is well done, I think that the scenario could actually be used by the producers it is so good and interesting. The main reason why it really works for me is that it's all about the relationship between Booth and Brennan and that the situation seems so possible as the writer stuck to the characters' way of behaving and talking. Plus it tells us what we all wanted from the beginning, the two of them loving each other. A little too short though.

Brothers & Sisters
This Is It
The writer must have a great imagination because he put one of the main characters in a situation which seems impossible. But the style is good, s/he used flashbacks kind of dialogues to tell you more about the story without really explaining what happened before which I thought was very well done plus the use of the third person makes you spectator of the scene so you can actually see the action happening while reading.

Chuck
Silence
The title really reflects what the story is all about, silence. It's a bit boring and pointless to me when you reach the end but I think the style is good because you really feel the silence in the story. The fact that the writer used short sentences in the dialogues, the dialogues being really short themselves (question-answer pattern) emphasizes the heaviness of silence.

Cold Case
A way with words
Another "stuck in the elevator" story. The story is really predictable two people - one male, one female - stuck in an elevator, it's cold, the guy gives the girl his jacket, they end up kissing. I don't think the writer put anything special in this story. There were a few sentences that were well written in relation to the characters' background and position in their work but there were a lot of "cheesy" ones as well.

Happy Tree Friends
Lie Detector
A Happy Tree Friends episode. It was different from the original episodes as the characters were actually speaking, it was longer than it usually is, plus it wasn't funny. I don't think it was a success because the writer missed the whole point of the series which is to make people laugh by making the characters do really stupid things and die. There, it was all about the investigation after the death of one of them. Plus s/he forgot some words like give in the sentence "I'm gonna give you" or wrote I instead of it in "I could be him?". And finally s/he didn't even finish the story.

Memoirs of a Geisha
To Carve A Pumpkin
I think it's beautifully written. The writer used the first person to write the story which was a smart decision as it's all about emotional and physical feelings. It's suspenseful and exciting at the same time. S/he used a really strong sentence to finish on, which summed up the story's "fruit salad" mix of feelings.

Memoirs of a Geisha
Memoirs Of A Broken Heart
Loved reading it. The story's written with the first person so everything's seen through the main character's eyes. Like in the previous fanfic that I commented on, it's a mix of feelings that are really strong and using the first person to describe the situation was very good. Also, the words used are quite simple which makes it easier to read.

I am Legend
Reality
It's a remake of one of the scenes of I am Legend, not a really good one. It is written in the first person but still doesn't quite make you relate to the character or the story. The end is predictable as well so not really interesting, plus knowing the original story makes it harder to "accept" this version; the original story is all about saving the human kind where as here it's about the main character only, which I think doesn't work.

Prince of Persia
Anxiety
Quite short but I guess the quality of the work is more important than the length. It's good because it gives another point of view that is not described in the movie and even though I don't agree 100% with this point of view I still think the writer's done a good job with it as I always wondered what the character's point of view could be at this point of the movie.

KungFu Panda
Birthday
Fanfic about the famous Kung-Fu Panda. The story is really strange!!! It was easy to read and there was a good knowledge of the character's personalities so the dialogues were quite appropriate to the characters but the whole story just doesn't work for me.
