Mikes Fanfic Blog, Title to come- Dallas



List of the FanFics that I will review for the purpose of this brief

Never Enough

The writer of this fanfic has used the existing story line and just gone further from where the current story has halted. its written in a mixture of first person and third, i think this is a good example of how easily it is to write 800 words as if it had been played  on tv it would of only been a few minutes. The author does well to replicate the same mannerisms as seen in the tv show.

Last Standing 

The Fanfic is written well but sometimes hard to understand as it hasnt been spellchecked. The author has rewritten a story while inter twinning it with what actually happened. It seems like the writer has identified three main characters which have dubious past and grouped them together to form a team. They have pulled many part of the current theme in the show together and used 1st person narrative and 2nd person to portray the scenes. I is a little hard to understand at times though.

JR snr and Sue

This is a interesting fan fic because it been written as a script for a scene, or a conversation. It starts out as a narrative and then interlinks with a screenplay which is a interesting way to write. Its a bit odd for me though as in the actual show there is no narrative.. The Fanfic has be written into 5 chapters and i really have to congratulate the author on being able to write 5 separate chapters that could easily be 5 different fan fics. When reading this Fanfic i kept thinking that it could easily be part of the show.

JR-Ewing-Style

This is a fanfic, which i was a little surprised to read and turns out to be a erotic fantasy role play..

To-Rule-SouthFork

I have to say i was a little bit disappointed with this fanfic. None of it was the author own writing and it didnt seem to make much sense at all. There did seem to be a purpose in the plot. From my understanding it was a whole bunch of snippets from scenes from different episodes. It was almost like a summary of everything that has been on tv recently.

Time to Fight

This fan fiction was a delightful read especially after the one beforehand. It was easy to read and was carefully constructed with using existing plot lines at the same time as using the author own creative ability. it was done in the narrative.


Ideas

After reading a bit through the various fan fics and also watching a coulple of epidsodes lately. I had an idea to morph a couple of episodes into one and develop a character which has been somewhat of a tease the viewers. Elenas brother Drew. Its unclear at the moment if the producers of the show are leaving this for the future or simples feeding it the the view to inspire possible alternatives. Drew seems to have a good heart with a shady past. Can he be trusted? we shall see..

A little bit about me 

I'm 25yrs, I work at Airnz and am a Union Delegate for the Epmu. I'm Studying at AUT to further my education to get into a role where I can further my work with Unions into Politics. I chose Dallas as its a interesting show.

My Ideas for the Fanfic.

As I was still in my preschool years when Dallas first aired, this fanfic will be on the new season.

My first idea is to elaborate on the missing story lines in the current season or rewrite a existing plot.






Idea is for drew to talk some with either Christopher and john ross, then be hatching a plan with bobby aunt or some one else

also have thought about have a twist for the revenge so something that is actually good for most people














Please Note- Throughout this course I will be using a blog on a different page as my draft sheet, this will allow the reader a insight into how i developed this page.

  5. Do you see Dallas as having a set of 'politics' today that differs from the 'politics' of the original series?
    I.e. from small scale family politics all the way to global politics
