Gabriel's Fan-Fic Links

1.When I look at you:  Fan-fiction based on the television show Skins. A story of seven teenagers living in Bristol which depicts the problems faced by teens as they struggle to deal with relationships, sexuality and the usual psychological maladies that are associated with the teenage years. Each chapter focuses on a different character, giving a more in-depth view into the characters personality and their thoughts than the television show did.

2. Family Guy: based on the controversial cartoon, this story focuses on Brian, the families talking dog and Stewie, their maniacal baby-genius as they are magically transported into a world parodying that of the Wizard of Oz, renamed the Wizard of Odds. The usual mockery of pop-culture and politically incorrect jokes are still present






3. The Lion King: this is a humanoid depection of the events which took place in the Lion King, but since replacing the animals with humans the plot thickens and aspects which were previously ignored, due to the fact it was a children's film, each characters traits are more distinguished and well defined even adding attributes to the characters which could have never been included into the original film. I wish they had made a movie with these characters depicted by people.


4.Grand Theft Auto: Following the story of Niko Bellic, a criminal living in the fictional Liberty City as he is dragged back into the criminal lifestyle after a lucrative offer from some very unsavoury people. The GTA games have developed a cult like following, from the original bird eye view PC games to GTA IV, a game with some of the most advanced graphics seen in gaming today, this series has provided the male population of the world with hundreds of hours spent mindlessly blowing people up, flying helicopters and even indulging in the pleasures of the oldest job in the world. I simply could not ignore the opportunity to escape from the mundane world to a life where annoyance is solved by the simple drawing of a weapon. If only...



5.House is back!! Set around Season 6 we are given an even more in depth view into the minds and relationships of the characters. In the TV show we are shown the exterior struggles of the characters, only depicting the exterior emotions of the characters. In this fan-fic the mental monologues add another dimension to characters which were already quite deeply developed. Not only do we get more from the characters thoughts but because each segment focuses on the thoughts of one or two characters the story is developed in a different manner to that of the show.








6.How I Met Your Mother is another one of those sitcoms that has a way of connecting with people, the characters have that human appeal to them that in this day and age of cookie cutter media, it's a rare thing to come across. A show which not only deals with the common difficulties faced by people as they fall in love but manages, almost in a 'Friends' type way to add that little twist of humor that turns a scene from funny to hilarious. This story focuses on the romance between two of the more stubborn and anti-relationship friends as they inevitably fall madly in love with each other. Slightly more serious than the show this story is more bittersweet but still retains that quirky, silly humor that makes the show so popular.





7.Zombies Attack...again. This story begins in much the same way as many zombie stories begin, with murmurs over the news of a virus, a deadly virus that resurrects the dead, turning them into nearly invincible, violent killers. Dave and his buddy's are enjoying a few brews and board games when news reaches them that the virus which they believed to be focused in California, has infected their small east coast town and they are left with no other option than to defend themselves against the horde of zombies. you can already imagine what happens next...





8.The Inglorious Basterd's are a group of Jewish-American soldiers, an elite force, if you will that specializes in the killing and scalping of Nazi's. This group of soldiers was introduced to us in a film by the same name dierected by Quentin Tarantino. This story, unlike the movie focuses entirely on the Basterds and their guest, Lucie, who they rescued from the scene of a Nazi interrogation and the relationship that begins to develop between Donny 'Bear Jew' Donowitz (the second in command of the Basterds) and Lucie.












9.The Warriors: The original gang movie, based in New York in the late 70's; the Warriors are a bunch of young men with violence on their minds. This story is a continuation of the movie. The Warriors return to Coney Island after being pursued by nearly every gang in New York City for the murder of the  Riff gangs leader. Three of their boys are dead and once the finally return they are in for a shock. The rival gang they thought was finished returns to deal one final blow to Swan and his Warriors. 




10. Calvin and Hobbes on another awesome adventure. This beloved comic strip returns with a full length crossover as they battle the high seas with the like of Captain Sparrow and Captain Barbossa. The usual magic of a story based on a children's imagination means that even in comparison to the Disney film this story is rife with the childish adventure and the  foolishness that we loved from both the comic strip and the Pirates of the Carribean movies.
